An intresting debate – High Definition is now very popular and I personally think it’s well ahead of plasma as far as sales go, but I really don’t think many people understand the real difference between Plasma and LCD.

I’ve worked with a handful of broadcast engineers on the TV side of things, and they all swear on DLP. Of course, the downside is the whole projection issue vs. a flat panel display. They all have their good qualities, but my mind is more set towards the LCD realm of things. However, for the price point, plasma could attract me if what Leo says about the leaking thing is true.

It’s all good db. Every time Becks goes *anywhere* with me, security hassles are bound to follow. From now on, I’ll just mutter “Barefoot” each time i have problems – seems to work.

I became a believer when I was living in MSP. I was over at a friend’s where they had signed up for HDTV, and they were watching Monday Night Football with the Vikings hosting the Packers from the Metrodome. Just like being there on the 50-yard line … a few rows up, mind …

Cool post!

I personally like Plasma, my dad has a 56″ plasma and hockey (on the HD channel) is just simply amazing! The colour, sharpness etc is just mind-blowing.

Though my brother and I were at FS on the weekend looking at LCD TVs. I personally don’t like the quality but their design and sizes are great for those who can’t fit a 42-56+” TV in their home (or office).

I’d take a 42″ Plasma along with HDMI cables, and one of those LG dvd players that plays the regular DVDs, HD-DVD and BluRay

Wow, that’s a mondo live bloggy post. Nice work. Apologies for the near-hassle with security. They had your names, so I’ll have to see what was up with that. Things would have been smoother had I not been in Malta, but what can I tell you?
