Came here to tell you to get a Panasonic Plasma...but apparently everyone else is already doing that...

My advice....take their advice :reechy:

 

you should look at both in person. it's a personal preference really. I prefer LCD picture quality over plasma.

 

Signing in to tell you to go plasma. They are actually coming down in power consumption (not hear LCD/LED but still lower.) And check out Samsung Plasmas. The panny's are gorgeous, but the newer lots of panny's are actually having black level issues and a couple other problems. I have a 50" Samsung PN50c550 and it is gorgeous! I hate the fake motion of LCD/LED also compared to plasmas.

 

I can also vouch for the Panasonic plasma. Got a great deal on a 50" last black friday. Try keeping an eye on tigerdirect.com

 

Panasonic pwnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnns

 

what about the life span of plasma? I thought they didn't last as long as LCD.

 

i got my 50" samsung 1080p plasma a year or so ago for i think $1099.

i'm sure you could find something around that much.

 

LCD's do last longer than plasmas but you are looking at 10+ years. It will be time to upgrade then anyway.

 

I got a 55" LG for $999 a few months back from frys.com

frys wants a card number before they'll show a price. FUCK THEM. and the nearest one is 90 miles away. If I knew I was getting a good deal I'd drive it.
