I understand that LCDs use less power than Plasmas. But if you do your math, how much extra does it cost each month? Probably few bucks tops. I think it's worth spending few extra dollars a month for better picture.

I remember researching for long time prior to purchasing my Pioneer Kuro PDP-6010FD Plasma TV. I wanted to buy the best quality TV on the market no matter what type of TV it was. There are plenty of facts out there that plasmas have overall better picture quality than LCDs, especially black levels.

I am so happy to own my plasma TV. All of my friends are absolutely blown away by the picture quality of this TV.

Many people are scared of plasmas for their "burn in" effect. But due to our lovely modern technology, burn-ins are rare as long as you don't keep a stationary image for a long time.

Besides, plasmas are cheaper than LCDs! Wow will you look at that? Plasmas have better picture AND cheaper!

I am not sure where you live but here in Florida a comparable LCD is cheaper in price than a plasma.

Considering the fact that they are saying a Plasma can use as much juice as the fridge, it could add up to an extra $20-$30 a month, depending on how much you run it.

Also,I am not all too convinced about the screen burn thing not happening. I absolutely could not watch TV stretched or with gray bars. So what does that mean? With DirecTV I have both boxes using black bars for 4:3 content on SD channels. If I had a plasma, I'd have to be careful and either stretch it or use gray bars.

Also, with a six month old baby, I find myself pausing TV and video games a lot, and leaving the screen for a long time while I clean up a messy diaper or feed a crying infant.

Dude do some research on your own.

You sound exactly like the dopes that buy whatever the kid at Best Buy tells you is the best.
