Buying a New Flat Screen TV - Plasma or LCD?
-
Hi, I'm looking to upgrade my 27" tube with is like 8 years old.The screen size would either be 42" or 48" depending on the difference in price. My range is between $500 and $700. The viewing distance would be about 8-10 feet and the room has a lot of windows and therefore is pretty bright. Aside from watching TV and Blu Ray movies from my computer, I'll be doing a lot of gaming on my XBOX 360. What would you think is a better fit for me? LCD or Plasma? And if plasma, how much of a difference would 1080 and 720 be at that size? Hope I've included enough information for some helpful answers. Thanks

I think 1080p is the only way to go. Also, the LCD vs. Plasma question I think really comes down to the brightness in the room. If you ahve a bright room, the LCD would be best....I have an LCD and a Plasma...Plasma is nice, but glare is an issue in a bright room and the LCD looks good anywhere.

You should get a matte screen LCD TV. Gaming on a plasma isn't a good idea because there is a risk of burn in. You should definately consider a 1080p TV. http://bestlcdtvinfo.com
