LCD or Plasma? It is a hard question that faces anyone who wants to buy a new HDTV (like me)…
Both have their pros and cons…
Plasma have a better contrast and on-screen motion but it fails in brighter rooms because it reflex lights, and it’s vulnerable to "burn-in"…
LCD is better if you have a bright atmosphere but it fails when it comes to rich colors and deeper blacks comparing to Plasma (the new LED technology is made to resolve this problem)
For the price: Plasma has a big advantage over LCD
Plasma screen size range from 42 inch to 65 inch and the best two brands on the market are Pioneer Kuro and Panasonic
LCD screen size range from 19 inch to 70 inch and the best two brands on the market are Sony Bravia and Samsung
They say that if you want a 50+ inch TV you should go for Plasma
And if you want a lesser size you go for an LCD
So what do you think in general is better Plasma or LCD?
After you discuss this subject in general I need your help in choosing an HDTV for my room, Budget between 1000$ - 1200$ (I can push it for 1500$ if it really really worth it…)
My room is 4m X 4m and my viewing distance will be like 3.5meters and it’s really bright in the day time but I usually watch TV in the night time… so I will go for a 32 or 40 inch if I choose LCD , or 42 inch if I choose Plasma…
Well the thing that I really need help with is the prices here in Lebanon because I don’t have a clue about them all I know is the price in the Official web sites of these brands mentioned before and I know here it will cost much more than that …
LCD : if I choose LCD I will go for Sony Bravia Z series 32 inch ( the xbr series doesn’t exist in Lebanon
and to buy from Amazon.com is something new for me, you have to open a P.O box at Liban Post … ) , or I will go for Samsung series 6 32inch or 40inch …
I think LED is over budget for me…
Plasma: if I choose plasma I’ll go for Panasonic VIERA 42 inch G10 series (or G15 if it’s below budget)
So what are the prices of this TVs here in Lebanon, and what do you recommend for me?
PS: maybe in the future I will get a Playstation 3 so take that in consideration, and the thing that I watch the most on TV is Football matches…
