I Want A Plasma Or Lcd.

[Col-GTSX]

I also watch downloaded material via my screen with surpurb quality.

So as you can see there are stories for and against both technoligys.

Im sure either way what ever you choose you will be happy as you will have made a big upgrade from your old box.

u sure about that col? (yer, im not suprised you editted .. . )

i dont know too many plasmas that do 1080 .. . . and the ones that do are hella expensive

my 50" does wxga and is crystal clear, not too many plasmas even do that

and the fact that plasmas are predominantly lower res than equivalent lcds dont make em that flash for pc monitors

I was thinking of two different things there spook, hence the edit...

But yeah the lcd can have a higher res, but they cost a lot more.

Like a 1366x768 plazma 50" would rrp round the $3499 in Samsung

their same 1366x768 50" LCD rrp's round the $3699 mark in Samsung

that said

their 1920x1080 50" LCD rrp's round the $5999 mark in Samsung

So i guess you get what you pay for... Yes 1080 is the best on the market today but is it worth the money, well only a question the buyer can answer.

[Spook's_Skyline]

for my money, with so many of us having pc media that you want to watch on your tele, its near on impossible to pass up lcd

Yup my brother has the 60" version of what col has by the sounds of it, I was all keen to rip piss through him for getting rear projection, but admittedly it's pretty awesome. Hats off to newer technology and 1080

I watch TV shows from my pc through my 360 via media center and the pic is fantastic on my LG 42" Plasma.

Im running 1080p

[Spook's_Skyline]

does your plasma support it though?

or is the 1080 signal just being downsampled to HD>?

another thing to consider about plasmas, is they use an extremely large amount of power

significantly more than an equivalently sized lcd

I've recently purchased sony x series 46inch lcd, it was voted lcd of the year and now i know why!!

It has full 1080p resolution which will be perfect with the ps3. A little on the pricey side but well worth it! Try JB hi fi.

zomg sounds like exactly the same one as I got, the KDL46X2000. I could not be happier with it

[Penfold]

Cmon guys, the obvious answer is to buy a $100 AWA tv and spend the other $3400 on the car.

I would recommend Plasma, Better colour, solid black not a washed out black around the edges, also the Plasma tv's have a much higher contrast ration of 10000:1 to 15000:1

But if you want a LCD i would go for any of the new XD Samsung tv's

[Mr GTS4]

Plasma - for watching TV, Sport and movies ( screen size is best at 42" and above)

LCD - best for high res viewing ie. pc input or media center (also ps3)

there is a samsung model that is 1080p for just over 3k and is a 40"

panasonic have some 1080p plasmas coming out but are very expensive. 50"= $5499 rrp 58"=$9999

Thank you guys

Ended up going with the LCD option, a 47 inch Toshiba, with full 1080dpi, for 3.6k, and also a ps3. Haven't ventured outdoors much over the weekend, but it's worth it, as I have gained the title of heavy weight champion of the world on fight night 3.

Now getting some money together to upgrade my turbo, and buy a motorbike. I am sure I will post up another thread asking for advice when I get some cash, which is late next week I think.

[Col-GTSX]

Arhhhh Heavy Weight Champion of the world hey...

Sounds like you need to play a little 2 player...

[PWND]

Heh, I did when I first got it, and my mate kicked my ass for about six fights in a row. I think that was the main force behind spending the rest of the weekend sitting on there, so I am ready for him when he comes back. I don't take losing very well. Probably the reason why I am planning on upgrading the turbo as well.
