LCD Tv vs Plasma Tv

Which do you think is better and for what? Honestly I think LCD tvs are great tvs for all around purposes and for gaming.

I have a 42" Plasma in my bedroom which is amazing with HD. At the time I bought it a year ago the plasmas were much cheaper than the equivalent LCD and with better contrast ratio specs. For gaming and movies I actually prefer my 60" DLP.

I have a LCD and my friend has a plasma. IMO i think his plasma has a little better color and resolution (a lot may be the blu-ray player he has). My understanding is that a plasma will dim down after a few years where a LCD does not (this is what i have been told and correct me if i an wrong).

I went for LCD as well. Clean crisp image. I found plasma to have a more ghosted or foggy picture in comparison. Plus the previous poster is right, plasmas won't last nearly as long.

I have Plasma for the main reason that because of the physical layout of my living room Ihave the tv in a corner and an L-shaped couch in teh opposite corner. No one has a straight on view of the tv so when we went shopping, the LCD's all seemed to lose out unless you are looking directly at it. The plasmas did not lose resolution at angles.

well they make LCD's that can work in sunlight but they are still fairly expensive. LCD is a tad cheaper now adays and is def the future well maybe a OLCD but good luck getting one of those.

who of you guys think that you will have same flat tv what you own now in lets say 5 years? do you honestly think that most of people who already bought some nice flat tvs will have same one longer then the gas from plasmas will actually run out? i dont think so. i think majority of people will get newer tvs way before that. maybe something like this Photos: Sony's OLED TVs gain star status | CNET News.com ??? so i think it really doesnt matter if plasma or lcd. both have great pics and resolution if you have good source. and viewing angle nowadays is same with both as well. 179 degrees almost everyone...

LCD's are better. i have a 42" Toshiba. Plasma's display colours a little more vibrant but I hate the reflection and glare on them. Its like looking at a picture-in-a-picture.
