Just found 50" Viera for $1049 (non 3d model)...Wondering if you guys think it a good deal?
More recently I picked up a 26" LG LED tv to use as a computer monitor since I wanted something future proof if I move to a larger pad. After getting this set dialed in the picture is damn near perfect but it's due to the LCD panel not the LED backlight.
Plasma is superior to LED/LCD at this point in all but power use and weight.
Edge lit LED LCDs tend to have flashlighting issues and many times their viewing angles are piss poor since there are 3 different panel technologies. Full array LEDs are super spendy but offer comparable black levels to plasma however the cost doesn't offset the benefit to which there really isn't one.
CCFL LCDs still have light bleed through, generally poor black levels by comparison, and are still spendier than their plasma counterparts at the same size.
I used to be an LCD only guy. About a month and a half before we moved we picked up a 42" Panny plasma. Spend next to nothing on it and it's picture is simply gorgeous compared to my 32" Tosh LCD.

Plasmas to my eye look better than anything else. They produce nice rich warm colors, good blacks and don't have the weird fake look that the led's seem to create. Too much looks like a soap opera when viewed on the led's.
Are you thinking of that retarded 120hz gimmick thats all the rage? It makes everything look super unnatural and I can't watch a full movie without getting a headache.
How about DLPs? I own a Mitsubishi 73in DLP, and for the money (<1300) it's amazing. Colors and bright, blacks are dark, and the whole thing only weighs about 90lbs. Just curious to see other peoples opinions on dlps.

plac said:i think the LED and 120hz make it look MORE natural. it's like you're in the room with them. like you can almost see the camera in the corner of the shot. I love the way the LED 120hz looks. its almost TOO real, but i like realistic..
