Now that's funny shit. Yeah, she is more pissed off than an ethiopian with a missing leg watching a donut roll down the hill. I have been looking for a new tv for myself, size dont matter, well not smaller than a 42. But i was wondering if yall got some reco's, I kinda think plasma is hot but it does have is cons, I was thinking DLP. I just got my mom a 42 inch DLP and the shit look hot, Even tho she wont know cuz its still in the box,, but when I was looking at it in the store.. I want some killer shit.. The 50 inch wega looks hot but I cant pay that much.... anyone. |

I don't know Bunk, that Sony vvega is off the meters. I wouldn't even get a Plasma. That shit is hot, but I don't feel like refilling the tanks/cartridges on that bitch and dealing with it's short life span. What do you think about a 50" LCD?

they dont make a 50" lcd screen yet. the biggest they have is 43" i believe. lcd has a longer life span then plasma, and from what i read lcd is passing plasma in technology. i just copped a 26" lcd(16.9 format) for my bed room, shit got all the hi-def hook up and all the fun shit. just hung it on the wall this saturday. dont need anything bigger in the bedrrom...bangers (all black). here is some shit to help you make your mind up. if you keep score on the review lcd out ways plamsa in the real world just alittle.
LCD TVs versus Plasma TVs
Updated December 2004
Compare the two most popular flat screen TV technologies.
Comparison Plasma televisions LCD televisions Advantage
Screen Size Screen sizes range from 32 inches to 60 inches. Larger plasmas are in production, but are still prohibitively expensive for consumer use. Sizes range from 13 inches to 45 inches. Larger screens are expected soon, and will likely also be expensive. Plasma TVs are the current size champions. Larger LCD TVs and plasmas are already in development.
Viewing Angle Up to 160° Up to 170° LCD TVs.
Screen Refresh Rates Plasma displays refresh and handle rapid movements in video about as well as CRT televisions. LCD TVs were originally designed for data display, and not video. Therefore refresh rates had to be improved. LCD TVs with refresh rates of 16 ms or lower show very little noticeable artifacts. Slight edge to plasma technology.
Burn-in or Stuck Pixels Plasma TVs can suffer from burn-in produced by static images. After extended periods, stationary images "burn in" and produce an after-image ghost which remains permanently on the screen. With technologies such as 'pixel orbitor,' new plasma TVs have addressed burn-in and significantly reduced the issues of older models. LCD TVs do not suffer from burn-in, but can have a "retained pixel charge" which may also produce ghosting. Stuck pixels are also possible with an LCD display. With the latest plasma technology this would be even. The "pixel orbitor" is automatic and does not require additional efforts by the end-user.
Product Life-span Typical plasma TVs have a life span of 30,000 to 40,000 hours, which equates to at least three years, three months of 24/7 usage before the TV fades to half the original brightness. LCD TVs also have replaceable backlights, but the expense of replacing one when the time comes may be greater then simply replacing the entire TV. LCD TVs lamps will last a bit longer than plasmas, but both are likely to meet general consumer expectations.
Weight Plasma displays are fairly heavy, and may need additional supports to be mounted onto a wall. LCD TVs weigh less than comparably sized plasma TVs. LCD TVs are considerably lighter, more portable, and cheaper to ship.
Durability Plasmas are very fragile making them tricky to ship and install. Unlike the commercials where plasmas are mounted on the ceiling, plasmas are best installed by a professional, and should be installed on a wall that can bear a good deal of weight. Much more durable then plasmas. End users can easily mount an LCD TV themselves if desired. LCD TVs are far less fragile than plasmas.
Shipping Due to their fragile nature, plasma TVs need to be shipped by specialty carriers. Overnight or fast delivery options are not recommended. Special shipping methods and their heavier weight add to higher shipping costs. Shipping LCD TVs is not difficult, and is not as expensive as shipping plasma displays. LCD TVs are lighter and far less fragile than plasma displays making shipping easier and less expensive.
Installation Plasmas are heavier, use more power, and run hotter than LCD TVs, and therefore require more planning when mounting them. Plasmas are generally best installed by professionals. End users can easily install LCD TVs themselves, or can use them just as they use a traditional TV using a stand. LCD TVs are much easier to install than plasma TVs.
Brightness Plasma TVs range from 800-1000 cd/m2, but are measured based on a different standard than LCD TVs. When compared under "real world" circumstances, plasma TVs brightness is typically closer to 100 cd/m2. Measured under the more stringent "real world" standards, LCD TVs average a brightness rating of 500-600 cd/m2. Both LCD and plasma TVs will meet the brightness expectations of most consumers. However, in 'real world' situations with ambient light, LCD TVs will generally look a little brighter.
Thickness As thin as 3 inches deep. As thin as 2 inches deep. LCDs TVs are just a bit thinner.
Performance at High Altitude High altitudes can affect the performance of plasma displays because the gas held inside each pixel is stressed, and has to work harder to perform. Some manufacturers make plasmas that are specifically designed for high-altitudes, but they may be priced higher than standard models. LCD TVs are not affected by high altitudes. LCD TVs.
Contrast Ratios Current plasmas measure contrast ratios of up to 3000:1. However, when compared to LCD TVs in "real world" situations, contrast ratios for plasma TVs drop to approximately 200:1.* LCD TV contrast ratios are measured using "real world" standards. Typical contrast ratios range from 350-450:1. LCD TVs contrast ratios measured in real world situations double typical plasma TVs.

Save your money and go with a DLP. They are about half as small as a projection TV front to back and 1/4 of the weight. Picture is absolutely amazing. If I were to do it over, I would have gotten a DLP.

Yeah, I got my mom the DLP, it's hot and still in the box... I got school today so I cant put it up until tomorrow. Damm, My wife is bent on getting the plasma, I read the DLP creates better black than the LCD, I think that was the only reason I was looking at DLP in the first place. Oh and when I was in bestbuy I saw a 50 Sony LCD: www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6784465&type=product&id=1089890644800Here is the 60 Sony LCD: www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6784465&type=product&id=1089890644800I'm telling you these bitches is hot, but do u see the price on that bitch... woooooo, thats a down payment on a house out there.... I cannot pay more than 2500 on a tv including 4 yr warranty.. Maybe I'll wait till next weeks specials... Funny thing is , that plasma , 42 inch was selling at 1800...Thats when my wife jumped on me in best buy about it. |

Damn, now ya'll got me looking at tv's,lol. I thought that they had 50" lcd's but the 60 is new to me that's hot. I knew that they were projection lcd's because my brother got one, but the price is way too high. Since you got your mom the DLP you she should be str8. I'm checking out dlp's too.

Well, back to the subject for a minute. That beta is nice. The buttons are mad weird though that will take some getting used to, but I bet in the real version you can change them up to your likeing. I for one will def be preordering fire team bravo for my PSP. It comes out early November, lol it's wither the 1st, 2nd, or 9th, I forget again, I'll look it up again tomorrow, but it is nice. The graphics are insane, almost all the graphics are insane on the PSP though.
