best HD picture quality comes from tubes. ]]>Feb 26th 2007 4:37PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/Feb 26th 2007 5:16PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/Feb 26th 2007 5:46PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/
Actually, anyone who knew what they were talking about would have said CRT, if talking picture quality above all else. Both LCD and Plasma are getting closer, but you'll still hear the best of the best talked about as having "near CRT quality."

Of course, screen size is the limiting factor with CRT, that's why the "above all else" qualifier must come into play.

Here's hoping SED gets out of lawsuit purgatory. It promises the best of both worlds: virtually unlimited screen sizes, ultra thin displays, and CRT-inspired technology for the PQ.]]>Feb 26th 2007 5:35PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/Feb 26th 2007 5:57PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/Feb 26th 2007 7:12PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/Feb 26th 2007 8:54PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/I was hoping to get a straight answer, will an LCD of contrast 10000:1 or so produce as good blacks as a plasma of the same spec? And how black is this, say compared to the nice glossy black frame, is it a good black, or still no where near?!]]>Feb 27th 2007 6:18AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/
Personally I think Plasma can still look better, but obviously it's not fair to say that all Plasmas look better than all LCDs. So again you have to judge each TV on it's own, but the best looking TV today is the Pioneer Elite Plasma.]]>Feb 27th 2007 7:38AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/
I'm shopping for a new TV, and I have to say, after all my hours & hours of research, I've found that the more I learn & the deeper I get into the details, the more confusing & frustrating it gets. And just when you think you've found the best choice for your situation & your needs, you learn something new, or you read reviews on AVSforum, or you see a new price cut, or a new model is set to be released next month, or you hear about banding or ghosting issues, and on & on... The best thing to do? Learn the basics, consider your peripherals, viewing habits, the lighting in your home, and your viewing distance. Narrow your choices down to a half dozen, read some *owners'* reviews, cut your choices in half, then buy the one with the best price. After that, never, ever, ever read another thing about TVs until you're ready to buy again!]]>Feb 27th 2007 8:08AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/
I would personally rather buy a 1366x768 LCD than a comparably priced 1024x768 plasma. I can't bring my self to drop that much cash of a display that can't show 720p without down converting. If we are talking 1080p panels, then I'd give the edge to Plasma.

I mean, I see this stuff all the time, where people get on and write such critical things about the authors. I enjoy hdbeat, and I like what I read on here. If I didn't, then I wouldn't visit the site.

Why don't you start your own blog and get people to post on it?]]>Feb 27th 2007 12:00PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/Feb 27th 2007 1:51PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/Feb 27th 2007 6:47PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/02/26/lcd-vs-plasma-in-2007/
And I agree with "c" (nice name). Why do people still claim that plasmas are susceptible to burn-in? They are no more susceptible than a CRT and no one ever lists burn-in as a problem with those. Burn-in on a plasma is a thing of the past, it just doesn't happen anymore, at least on a good panel. Also, those same people would claim that plasmas lose brightness over time. While this is true, the service life of a typical plasma is 60,000 hours. That's 20 years at 8 hours a day. Is that not good enough for you? And after that, the TV is still good, it's just not as bright. CRTs do the exact same thing. And unless you've been watching your plasma at full brightness for those 20 years, all you have to do is turn up the brightness to counter the fade.

My point remains...I just don't see how people desire to expend the time to post a comment that says the article is pointless. Why not just keep it to yourself and let the rest of us enjoy it?
