Plasma or LCD?
WeeBit asks: "I saw a news article on why you should buy Plasma instead of LCD TV's. It just sparked my interest. Flat panel TV's have the market now, and our analog TV's are on their way out. I am sure many will be thinking of purchasing their new flat panel within the next couple years. Have you given this any thought? Panasonic, has been pushing ads that sell the consumer on the plasma TV's over the LCD's. Is this a good argument, or is it just hype? Which do you prefer Plasma or LCD? Why?"
Boy, this could not be more timely.... /.ers, I have a few $K burning a hole in my pocket, what should it be?????????
Come on
Honestly there is no consequence for a consumer to buy the 'wrong' technology when it comes to TVs so I really don't see the need to pick the 'winning' technology. The unfortunate thing is LCD is not winning out because it is a 'better technology' as much as it is winning out because it is being used in many more applications (Cell phones, Gaming devices, Computer Monitors) and is getting far more research because of it. With that said, from my very limited understanding, Plasma and LCD each offer benefits to the user depending on your home theater set-up; there are dozens of popular sites which will tell you what works best for your setup.
