Oil Burner
would disagree lol
been very impressed with samsungs new plasma's
Steer clear of lg.
Plasma for me. No it doesnt need re-gassing etc... you simply can suffer from screen burn if you pausing it too long or watch channels with non plasma proofed logos.
Panasonic plasma or pioneer kuro. The way forward.
LCD panasonic or Samsung. Yet to see sony 4k series.
Be warned, lots of rubbish is talked about this debate. Have a search you may be surprised what turns up.

Have had both at the same time.
The TV's.
Sony Bravia 50" plasma - Great picture but not as good as the LCD,also you need to be straight on to get the best benefit from a plasma,if you look at the tv from the side you cannot see the picture.
Samsung 37" LCD - Great picture but we have had a couple of problems with it.THe speakers play up now and again and we need to turn off and on to fix,also the tv will freeze in channel menu screen and needs to be turned on and off to sort again,funnily enough this all happened just after its 1yr warranty ran out.
Just in the process of ordering the new Phillips ambilight 47" - Picture is awesome when we seen it in the shop and with the upgraded speaker package we are getting with it the sound was impressive.

You have that tits up, plasma has the greater viewing angles.
Also what it looks like in the shop is never a good indication, i don't know anyone that lives in a shop environment:S

Big_peaches,
My opinion is based on:
Owning 2 LG's and both having issues with them. Now have a panasonic (a budget one i admit, its been fine)
My other experiance is selling them, being fed up with their **** reliability screwing up my figures. Now wont sell them if i can avoid it. Too many Monday morning/friday afternoon ones about.

I went from a Panasonic Plasma 1080i to a Toshiba LCD 1080p (both 42).
Viewing angles? Nothing between them at all.
Blacks? Panasonic wins.
Given the choice again, the Panasonic would do it for me.

To be fair, I remember way back in the early days of plasma TVs in the late 90s. We had various corporates wanting to buy extended warranties for their £6k+ boardroom telly's.
Not one manufacturer back then would offer it - regardless. You got your stock 12 months cover and that was it. They hadn't worked out how to make plasmas last back then and they were just a gimmick - and a bloody expensive one at that!
"Why has my screen started to go lighter and lighter.... almost white?" "Erm, because it's funked!"
