Well, I don't think anyone was saying that LCD>plasmas in terms of quality, it's just not true.

I prefer LCDs because they're portable/lighter, won't burn in, will use significantly less power (pretty sure about this being a lot less), and will last longer in the long run, so I think that would be better "value", looking at it that way.

You could go plasma for a couple of years, get the higher quality and then switch to OLEDS when/if they become more mainstream and cheaper, if that turns out to be the case. I haven't read enough to know if that's a good idea or not though.

I've always heard plasmas are the best for things like video games, sports, action movies. The burn in is a bitch though, and they do use far more power than LCD's.

This doesn't sound like a bad idea. It seems like a brand new tv is always gonna be like 3-5K and tvs are always gonna be like 1-2K regardless of the difference.

The burn thing might not be a huge issue for me because I really don't watch much TV. It will probably be on like 7-10 hours a week.

see i dont know what the case is for the new plasmas but my friends plasma lasted 5 years and he watched a lot of movies and played quite a few video games. when i was getting my tv last year i was told that the new plasmas are much better than the original ones. when i was looking for a tv last year i was just getting out of college and i knew i was going to be apartment hopping for a little bit and transporting plasmas sucks. you have to keep it upright so the screen doesnt crack from the weight.

also i think that on most plasmas if you have your tv on for more than like 2 hours you have to shut it off so it can cool down.

video games in general are terrible for plasmas also because if you are playing a first person shooter the health bar or hud burns into the tv.

as far as watching sports plasma is better imo, but i felt like i get more value with an lcd.
