We are looking at either 32, 37 or 42 inch plasma or lcd tv’s. Normally we watch tv at night so which type of tv would have a better picture quality at night. Can anyone recommend some good models?

I will be using the TV for general viewing of the TV channels, watching DVDs and video cassetes. I am not much interested in using it for playing games etc. I am confused as to which one to go for – an LCD TV or a Plasma TV. I just want to know which one is best for me. I can see that the prices for 37 to 42 inch LCDs and Plasmas are not very different.

I am looking into buying a 40 to 42 inch LCD or Plasma for watching and sometime gaming what are the best cheap brands?

i heard things about images permanently being on the screen or something?

Which one is better and why? Ive read a lot of technical mumo jumbo on the net, I just want a personal opinion from someone whos experienced both..

thanks in advance

I’m in need of a new tv, but don’t know much about plasma versus lcd, or the difference in brands.

Black friday ads have a 42 inch Polaroid LCD 1080p HDTV for $598

and a Samsung 50″ Plasma HDTV for $798 – both from Walmart.

We would like at least a 42 inch, but the 50 inch size wouldn’t be out of the question.

That said, I’m not sure of the difference in brands or if plasma or lcd is the way to go. Any help here? The only thing I’ve noticed is that plasmas seem to be cheaper?

Thanks in advance!
Random question – do plasmas “hum”? I read this on another review- any truth?

These opinions seem as divided as I am!
