i just watched like a 30 min long debate on it lol, and the bottom line is they said if your in a dark type of room and you watch movies go with the plasma and if you play xbox in a well lite room go with the lcd
thats the one with all the little mirrors rightif you can swing it get a DLP
thanks man i was hoping you would chime in + repplasma advantages:
smoother motion, especially side to side
better side viewing angles (almost 180 both up/down and side to side
best blacks
1080p's are still mostly on hdmi 1.2a which doesn't support the new blueray/hd sound formats
lcd advantages:
usually a little cheaper
uses less power
lighter
more available in 1080p with hdmi 1.3
plasma disadvantages:
reflects room light
chace of screen burn if you play a lot of games.... probably a non-issue though. most new plasmas have a pixel shift, to keep the panel from fying itself.
new panels only last about 60,000 hours (8 hours a day for 20 years)
heavy
use a lot of electricity
generate a lot of heat
lcd disadvantages:
can be noisy... at low volumes you can hear the panel
blacks end up dark grey. look for 10,000:1 contrast or better to avoid this
the new 120hz lcd's fix the side to side motion problems, but they are expensive.
