what is best? plasma or LCD?

Plasma TV's don't last as long as LCD. Plasma's also have the problem of burn in and are not good for video games. If you go to a store to look at flat screen tv's Plasma look much sharper and cost less for a better looking picture. LCD TV's if you want a the best quality picture you will pay alot more. The bigger the tv you go the better quality you woul dwant it to be. Plasma TV's use gas to create the picture while LCD's use liquid.

This is for computer right? Then buy LCD, why? the only different between LCD and plasma is (as far i know), Plasma is multiangle screen, you can see the display from any angle like you seeing CRT monitor. But LCD, you must see it directly in front of you, if you move little bit too left or right, the display is messy. BUT, since most LCD now got multi angle technology also, then buy LCD, because plasma cost more money.

Just a few comments on LCD vs Plasma, I recently bought a 42 inch Toshiba LCD 42WL58A, I must admit the colour is not as warm as the plasmas, esp the blacks, but that depends on your colour preference, tint, contrast, brightness etc. Kung ano ang maganda sa paningin mo. It's totally up to you. One of the main reasons I bought it is the 5 years warranty. Anything goes wrong just bring it back to them free ang parts and labour, if not repairable they gonna replace it with a new one. So I've got 5 years of peace of mind. But happy naman ako compared sa CRT that we had before. I'm using RGB on my Sony DVD DVP-NS780W with progressive scan and HDMI on my DIGITAL Hi-Def Receiver & HDD Recorder Toshiba HDD-J35. The thing is mas maganda ang reception ko from a digital broadcast, the signal rate is between 25-30%, compared to my DVD. And from Digital Broadcast, the pictures are spot on, the colour tones are better, even the fine lines are so visible. And I can switch the video format from 576i to 576p to 720p to 1081i. Does it mean na mas mababa ang resolution ng DVD? or maybe mali lang ang set up ko sa DVD. But the sound naman no problem. mas maganda naman sa DVD ang quality ng sound although digital broadcast transmit also in Dolby Digital. Digital broadcasting is pure magic they can feed multiple channel in HD mode, digital 1,2 and 3. They also have the EPG (Electronic Program Guide). Just sharing my experience. For me LCD is the way to go. p.s. oh one more thing, if you're using plasma and watching digital broadcast, remember the burn ins are more susceptible sa mga plasma display panels? This would likely may occur. the reason is not all video clips, programs etc are in the same video format. kahit na naka wide screen mode ka to fill in the bars on the side, they are still visible. One more reason to go for LCD. Opinion ko lang po yan.

Plasma has a defect .sometimes some logo gets stick to the Screen and it goes after some 6-7 days. I would prefer LCD...

well it all depends on your preference. Plasma and LCD are forever going conversation... people say plasma is the best, but people say LCD's are the best. you just have to compare them both together at a store. because plasma and lcd are in various competitions. plasma and lcd's are both problematic.. like plasma has the problem of burnt in image which the image stays there for a little bit.. or lcd doesnt have the sharpness in clarity that plasma does. depending on the manufacture and such, you have to see how you like them. but here's a tip. if you are the type of person that plays video games all the time.. you'd want to go for the LCD. just read up on the reviews of the ones you think you want to get. and compare them to each other at a store to see how you like the looks.
