In Reply to: Is Plasma Still King? posted by AbeCollins on February 23, 2007 at 13:42:28:
G'day Abe,
Plasma is King & LCD is Queen.
With regard to what others have said below it is obvious to me the ultimate answer is in the eye of the beholder.I own Plasma screens. For my use they are the best.
The very best LCD panel I have seen is the new 1920 X 1080 Toshiba 47†model. (I have seen everything available in Australia & IMHO this is the best LCD but not as good as the best Plasmas)
In the 42†to 55†range I think Plasma is a clear winner on picture quality. Of course, I concede I have never viewed or auditioned Plasma screens in bright rooms. (It is not applicable for my situation so I have never seen the need) At night or in a darkened room a decent Plasma panel will IMHO look far better than ANY LCD panel.
Also, as you look to bigger screens the LCD’s are not only not as good but far more expensive.
I have a 55†Plasma in the main HT setup & a 42†Plasma in the main bedroom and 34†& 30†widescreen CRT’s in other parts of the house. (and a couple of 20†4:3 CRT’s in my kids rooms.) Every room can be blackened if need be. I am ignorant of the fact apparently some folks watch TV’s in the daytime without suitable curtains to blacken the room. I am afraid I can’t see the point? I find the notion of watching a screen in a bright room akin to listening to your favourite CD with the radio blaring full bore in the back ground ( I concede it is rare for me to watch TV in the day – but my wife and kids do in darkened rooms)
Like everything in life we are all (mostly anyway) individuals and my preference for Plasma means diddley-squat to the bloke standing beside me who prefers LCD.
My best mate, who can buy any screen he wants, prefers DLP projection TV’s. Each to their own!
Smile
