LCD or PLASMA???

[proudkiwi]

I have read HW Secrets article on TV Technologies but i still cant make my mind up....

I want to buy a Flatscreen TV that can let me watch Sky Movies HD/ Sports HD / Blu ray Movies at their max quality.

LCD has weaknesses:
-Ghosting Effect in high response time displays
-Defective Pixels
-Poor Black level

Plasma has weaknesses:
-Burn-in
-high power consumption
-very hot!!!
-more expensive than LCD at same screen resolution

let me bring up my scenario -
42inch LCD - 1920x1080
42inch Plasma - 1366x768

both same price. i want one with best image quality and can last for atleast 5-6 years. plasma has more vivid colours and a better viewing angle, but LCD has higher resolution so what would look better overall (especially considering LCD has a bad black level)?

also in regards to defective pixel.. after how long would that happen?

thanks

Hi, if image quality is the most important factor, then I think plasma is what you should go for. I'm not sure though, so don't take my word for it

are you sure that LCD is 1920*1080 they ofter have much lower native resolutions?

oh and get a samsung 40" LCD very nice screens
