I say buy what you like, if you like plasma, buy a plasma, if you like lcd buy one, unless your inviting all of AE86DC over for a dvd night, who cares what you have.
Just admit that you don't know shit
Rather than "haters gonna hate"
lol old boy got all kinds of upset at being set straight,
fwiw the mrs gave away my plasma tellie when we left brissy. it was a very expensive model from years ago, and we figured we could pick something equivelant up for 500 these days down here (tas). We looked for weeks trying to find anything that was as watchable and natural as that old girl. In the end, personally,. i HATED looking at lcd or ledlcd... even the high end stuff gave me freeky eye syndrome
But no one bar panasonic is doing high end plasma these days. they are all the cheap must have the bioggest screen in the world and pay nothing for it junk.
Managed to find last years panasonic true hd plasma for half price, and have to agree with lazy, its about the only thing i have watched that is really nicely made.
would never watch a big screen lcd if given the choice.
but these are my eyes people, and they farking hate 3d too...
RIP Carly - a smile to light the world.

not upset, should have researched more before i put my 2 cents in. from what delazy has pointed out i'll give a plasma tv a better look next time i see one.
check out my build thread: http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/fo...-shuttle-wagon
I have a Samsung 50" Plasma which I bought for $1700 about 13 months ago. Definitely isn't "Top of the Line" but I seriously cant fault it. Displays Tv, Movies and Games perfectly fine. I don't think I'd notice the difference between mine and an upper market one...
My 2c
When I was in the market for mine (boss owed me commissions and said go look for a Plasma to make up for it) i went to WOW / Clive Peters Etc to look for a 42" unit and I spent a long time looking at picture quality on the LOW END ($1200 - $1700) units at the time, and the Plasmas kicked serious ass.
Up until that point I really hadn't had any pre-conceived notions of which was better, but after what I saw, I was doubtful that I would ever purchase / own an LED/LCD unit.
BAH
what phone do you use?
Give it time.
I keep changing my mind LOL... I'm kinda thinking about NOT getting a 3D TV at all now and going for a 55 - 60 inch plasma! I thought to myself, do I REALLY want to sit there with glasses on while i'm watching TV all the time? And even if I did have one, most of the stuff I'd be watching wouldn't be in 3D anyway... Maybe the world (me) isn't ready for 3D TVs..
Thanks everyone for their opinions though, I'm definately going to get a plasma now, where as before I posted this thread I was pretty set on an LED TV, but cannot find one a decent sized one that doesn't 'jitter' when you're playing high-speed animations that are under $4500. I only want to spend around the $2,000 mark.
You do realise you only wear the glasses when watching 3d content (games/bluray) 2d - 3d conversion is a waste of time before anyone suggests that...
3d screens are generally quite better panels also...higher contrast ratios, better internet features and media playback...
So its not like your buying a better screen just for 3d purposes....
Look into the panasonic st30 series, i m certain it will impress...check out your local myer store, massive savings running til sunday on both left over clearance models and new stock...
Know what you want and hit up the youngest looking salesperson on the floor and screw them for price
