plasma is old school from what I know.
I have one and it kicks out huge amounts of heat!
Not supposed to last as long I read also.
New age schtupf is OLED. I think a partnership with Kodak and Panasonic.
Organic LED. No backlight needed so, efficient, thinner and more flexible, lighter weight.

I also have a plasma. ridiculous heat, good picture though

LCD is the way to go now man. Plasma had its run but, LCD has the same picture now and more plus side. LCD wasn't big for a long time because the picture looked terrible when scaled above 30 inches. They have now worked that out and you can't really tell the difference between them and plasma anymore. Plus they have no chance of Burn In and they will last three times as long as a plasma.

LCD is the right one! Modern LCD:s has the same quality as PLASMA and are using less energy. Longer lifetime.

Plasma does have much better color reception, but the only reason I would suggest to stay away from it is because the plasma tends to go out after 4 or more years and that affects the color reception therefore making the life span not so long.

Well . . I have a 58in Plasma in our media room . . and I can say that it does produce a ton of heat!

I think when this one gives up the ghost, I am going to go buy a LED (LCD) . . . I think thats the latest crazy.

Has anyone noticed the taillights of certain cars with LCD lamps back there? Have you noticed the ones that have some of the LCDs burned out or not functioning?

Will LCD tvs do the same thing after a few years? Have a bunch of individual LCD bulbs burned out?

Personally, I would recommend LCD. Better picture and crisp, excellent for gaming as well. Consoles looks superb on LCD compared to plasma.

Another thing, I haven't checked this in a while. But I used to remember that plasma TVs gets stained after have a fixed image there for a while. Is it still the same?

plasma out, lcd in of course that depends on price.

the main difference with plasma I find the picture quality, and lcd tend to block certain colours. The Lcd is more environmental friendly, the power consumption is far less than the plasma.

LCD. Plasma has bright picture only 2 years and then it starts pale

LSD man, see two pictures. Then fly with the birds.

LCD and LED are NOWHERE NEAR the same thing! LED generate light, and may be used to BACKLIGHT LCD. LCDs BEND light! OLED is a type of LED, but apparently better, but LCDs use FAR less power.

PLASMA, in theory, is more likely to fail, uses MORE power, and generates heat. LEDs generate a relatively small amount of heat, and LCDs generate close to NO heat. BTW I have not known LEDs to break outside of damage or excess power.

Has to be LCD in my opinion...

The picture quality is up there with plasma, plus they are less energy hungry and generally thinner due to the difference in technology.

it's a definite LCD for me. Yes plasma gives better resolution... but it can definitely make a room hotter as opposed to owning LCD. C",)

The main advantage of using LCD is for security purpose. I think all could knew that we can't see the LCD monitor from the side view; these feature really make a sense. And also using LCD would save some when compare to plasma.

LCD for me. I just like it

Depends on where you are going to have the TV and what you are going to use it for.

If you want to watch a lot of fast action sports Plasma is a better choice probably. I think LCDs are better in sunny rooms, but Plasma has better viewing angles.

Each have their place, but like someone mentioned there are some interesting LED Tv's out there.

In my experience, I would reccomend LCD over plasma for two basic reasons: 1) Plasma is by far more expensive than LCD, I dont know why but there seems to be a major price difference between plasma and lcd when it has almost the same picture and color quality. 2) Plasma has relatively high radiation and heat dispersion- really bad for the eyes.

I like LCD for it's picture quality and price.

Most of the comments regarding Plasma TVs are referring to the older verisions. Newer models have significantly reduced energy consumption and heat emissions.

TeddyP hit the nail on the head. It really depends on where you will be viewing the TV and what you will be watching.

LCD is easier to see in bright conditions (which is why they tend to look better than Plasmas under shop/store lights) but this can be a problem when viewing in dimmer light. Plasma TVs have better resolution and a 'truer' picture and cope better with fast moving pictures - especially if watching High Def (HD) pictures. LCD pictures tend to be artificially enhanced both in terms of vividness of colour and sharpness of picture edges and when watching fast moving images, especially in HD, LCDs can tend to 'ghost' slightly.

The 'burn-in' issue can affect both types but older plasmas especially. This, again, has been significantly addressed in newer models of both types (although you do need to be careful especially in the first days of viewing).

The list of comparisons goes on (and on!) and, apart from the people who will naturally favour one type over the other, they both have their pros & cons.

If you are considering spending a fortune on a new TV, its worth reading up on some of the specialized forums where the real experts will tell you more than you could possibly wish to know!

I'm just about to buy a new TV and have gone cross-eyed from hours of reading multiple reviews of both types - which is why I now know quite a bit about the subject!

Cheers

LCD is best when you go full HD

I think LCD, thats just my opinion from having both
