The TV price is no problem for me , I want buy a very good HDTV for household usage,I can not select between SONY BRAVIA LCD TV & PANASONIC PLASMA TV, size 40 to 42 inch. please guide me without propagandistic aim.

I’m looking to spend around $1000. The size is dependent on the price. I thinking a 42 inch or the next size up. I’m not a gamer, just watch alot of action and sports. What kind is the best value for the money? I plan on consulting Consumer Reports, but any opinions on the matter would be greatly appreciatted.

For a Plasma TV , say with dimesions of 40 to 43 inches , what is the maximum resolution ( in pixels ) that it can reach ?

Is this maximum resolution limited by the inherent limits of Plasma technology ?

A case example : an X brand 32 inch LCD TV can reach resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels , whereas by comparison, a Plasma TV of 42 inches can only reach resolutions of 1024 x 768 pixels .

Why is this so ?

Alright, I had a 27inch regular tv by sharp, and it works for my living room. So I figure, maybe I should get a 37 inch TV, then for a $100 more I can get a 42 inch tv. So what the heck right? However, after viewing the 42 inches, they dont look as big as you may think. This of course is when they are displayed around several other tvs, but I got to thinkin is a 42 inch big enough for a living room? Its going into my basement, but its designed like a living room. Also, this Plasma has anti burn in tech, and is a 2008 model, not like the 2003 models or anything. It also has a white wash feature, to clear potential burn in pics. My main point though, is a 42 inch to small for a living room type setting. Normally I woulda said heck no, it would be big, but it just seems these widescreens are not as big looking as CRTs. I can upgrade to a 50 inch Samsung for $200.00 more, but for plasma I am getting a Panasonic( which in plasma world is better quality, like LCD for sharp ), and I could save the $200.00…lol.

i see a 42 inch vizio plasma for$727
42 inch dynex plasma for $699
42 inch dynex lcd for $799
which is better plasma or lcd and would you recommend 1 of these 2 brands over the other?

What is the difference between a plasma and LCD TV? I see advertized on their website, a Vizio 42 inch plasma TV, for $650, including free shipping. Someone told me the reason why LCD is preferable to plasma, but I forgot what it was.

I’m looking to buy a 42 inch HD television. I’m confused between plasma and LCD. Consumer Reports magazine is now starting to say that plasma is getting better and possibly better than LCD.
So can someone tell me the difference between them both? Can you also tell me which one in your opinion is better?
Ryan.. Thanks for the spam
Nick…. But why do you perfer it better ?

Will be buying new HDTV. Doing Research. Looking for Quality in combination with good price. Am not familiar with the new Technology and it’s different definitions, so if you can help me, I’d appreciate it. What about the non-brand names, they are less, but do they measure up?? Plasma or LCD.??? What are the pitfalls of this new technology? Thanks

Today, at the year of 2009 ..what is better to buy, Plasma TV 42 inch or LCD same size?

I’m going back out to college for the year and I was thinking about getting an HDTV for my new apartment, however I don’t want to spend more than $1000. Which models do you think are best?
