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. :P

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

http://www.cnet.com/4520-7874_1-5137915-1.html

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

Edited by Spook's_Skyline

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.

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 :)

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 :)

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

  • 2 weeks later...

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. :thumbsup:

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. :thumbsup:

    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 馃ぃ, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
