Plasma looks better for standard def stuff like watching Corrie on, but LCD is miles better for HD stuff providing you dont buy a shitty no namer. Mine's 40" and the quality doesn't suffer at all, that's a load of rubbish. My mate has exactly the same set in 32" and was wowed by it. Plasma is going to be a thing of the past before too much longer imo, they are cheap nasty tat. All this stuff about the contrast and blacks and whites being better is also a myth imo... end of the day it's up to you, best would be to just go check them out and see which you prefer.

LCD vs. Plasma?

No offence mate, but you've fallen into the old 'I've got one so it must be better' trap. I've got a plasma and think it's superb, but I know there are also LCD screens out there which are now its equal in terms of PQ. To say LCD's are 'miles' better at HD is also pushing it a bit. It would be interesting to compare the HD output of the best LCD's - probably the Sony W/X series or the Philips 9831D against the best plasma's such as the Pioneer 5000EX or the new 1920x1080 Panasonic 50" screen and see which performed best.....
not at all, I researched it for months before I bought one. Plasma is better for SD, LCD imo is much better for HD, especially gaming on the 360 where I noticed a pretty obvious difference over the Plasma's available at the time. I bought mine almost a year ago now, so granted the technology has moved on some, so I dont really pay much attention to it, but for the money I planned on spending I sacrificed size for quality and went for an LCD when I could have bought a bigger plasma TV for less.
:lolup:
If you believe that and are happy then carry on.
After all they say ignorance is bliss.
yup ignorance is bliss, afterall, you bought a Trophy when a Leda'd 182 would be be cheaper and smash it into the ground and doesn't only come in a ghey red colour
Sounds like you have both plasma and trophy envy. :rasp:
yeah, I'd love a car with 60bhp less
Told you, totally unimpressed with plasma, besides which they were miles cheaper when I bought my LCD, so it's not like I didn't have the option :clown:
As I said ignorance is bliss.

It's really each to their own, I researched LCD/plasma for over a year before being in a position to buy one and found that LCD's just didn't cut it, although I don't play Xbox on mine for 8 hours a day:rasp: (only 3 hours )
btw, which plasmas were miles cheaper? I could walk out today and buy an 'LCD' 37" for £500....

Deal with what? Your biased opinion? lol. AFAIK the only half decent LCD's at 40" available a year ago were by Samsung, Sony and Loewe - with the Loewe being silly prices and the other two around the 2K mark (unless you got your arse kicked....). As I said in my earlier post, you've fallen into the 'mine is best' trap. Oh, btw it's good to see from your post above that plasma is best at SD and HD:clown:

lol, I even strugggel to got mi spulling write sumtymes!
Seriously tho, I was making a facetious comment about the wording of your post - you clearly state 'Plasma was better for SD stuff, HD and Xbox 360....' lol and it read pretty funny.
Lets just say that you've got a decent telly, I've got a decent telly and leave it at that rather than making pointless generalisations eh?:approve:

pmsl, fair point drac182, I just prefer LSD... we were talking about LSD not LCD weren't we?
HD projectors rock, my mate has one on an 80" wide screen white board, was quality for the world cup, they aint exactly what I would call cheap though... well, he paid a fair bit for his when he got it!
