Is there much difference in quality between Plasma and LCD? In the middle of converting my attic into a TV room and I can get a 42in Plasma for the same price as a 37in LCD....any help would be grateful
plasma is the way to go from 42in up plasma is your only man it,s all mith about them running out of gas
ive a 42 samsung plasma it has a great picture connected to sky box and a 5 year warranty so hopfully its not needed
don't know too much about them but we went for LCD because salesman said you can't hook up game consoles, laptops etc to plasma and with 2 kids (3 including dad) we use it more for xbox, playstation and wii.
Its just that you cant/shouldnt pause the game for a long period and leave it paused because the image will burn into the screen.
Much better pic on LCD than plasma. No matter what size, but remember, it does make a difference how far you sit from the screen, with picture quality.
I reckon so. Plasma might have slightly better pic quality but LCD doesnt suffer from screen burn and is cheaper on the elec bill.
Screen burn is a big problem and cannot be gotten rid of. LCD is cheaper on electricity and Plasma WILL run out of gas....eventually! Vodkacolly is spot on
Find the best LCD TV that fits your budget. Do a little research by reading the expert reviews of some brands of your liking. As for me, I settled on a 32" Samsung 1080p tv.
+1. Get 1080 if you can afford it. That will "future proof" it for a few years and if you get Sky HD you'll be thankful......
Is this true I bought a Samsung and now I read this, Its a lovely telly but playstation and Sky+ gets paused when little one needs feeding etc, perhaps for short periods of time, can anyone verify how bad this is and give any recommendations? how long will the gas last? farely pissed off now . . .
in fairness, i think the image has to be paused for a very long time, an hour or two is OK, we have displays in work and we were warned to change the display every week, so i imagine it is a similar time frame - anyone confirm or reject this statement
I have a 50' Smamsung Plasma and I can guarantee it doesnt take 1 or 2 hours for screen burn; more like 1 or 2 minutes. As soon as anyone pauses a game/Sky+ I have instructed them to turn the TV off but even when you are going through the SKY channel menus its still affects it. It is really annoying and the TV is brand new
Bring it back if it's only brand new. The problem is only going to get worse. I have a 46" Sony LCD,and the picture is fantastic, especially the Sky HD channels.
