DEBATE: Plasma or LCD?

[Shane@DBPerformance]

Some people don't see picture quaility problems as much as others. I just seem to have an eye for those things. Hell, I returned my first plasma after getting to the point where I couldn't tolerate the excessive red push even after throwing my colorimeter on it. My wife said she didn't even see what I was talking about.


Yea, a lot of people can't perceive or hear the same things as others. Some people will not notice motion blur or slow response. It's like how a lot of people can somehow work on a computer with a CRT monitor refreshing at 60hz, while a refresh rate that low drives other people eyes crazy because they see the constant flicker of the screen redraw or people who can't tell the difference between your average quality mp3 and a CD.

The new 120hz LCD's make motion blur a dead issue. Everybody will have their opinion but LCD's are usually exclusively used for commerial and prolonged usage for a reason. When I get to work I will take a picture of a Plasma that came out of a sign at the Casino after being in for 8 months. The burn in is amazing; replaced with LCD's, running now for 6 months and not one single trace of burn in. I agree that plasma's have great contrast and depth but overall they just aren't the best overall value IMO.

Well, then I guess the guy that owns the Mitsubishi dealership automatically knows more about Eclipses than anyone around here. Seeing as how this is a "hobby" for most of us.

And 311, he's had his business for close to 30 years, longer than I have been born. We will see what big breakthroughs electronics companies have coming out this year at CES in Jan. My dad will be going for free paid for by Sony like every year and get to see all the awesome stuff, wish he would take me along for once.

Thats comparing apples to oranges, I know people that own a electronic company and I will take their word on electronics vs anyone else. I may not agree with them but most of the time they have seen both sides and with peoples experiences tell the tale. Saying a person from a car dealership holds a bias makes no sense.. I could go into any makes dealership and they will tell me their product is better. LCD vs plasma is a different story. They both hold pros and cons and at the end of the day whatever most people are introduced to first tends to be their preference on which is better in their mind.
