difference between plasma and lcd

[Stormin]

IMO, they are both great. Plasma is a bit more fragile when it comes to moving IMO. So if you are moving a lot it is a consideration. My son has a plasma and likes it. We put it back in the original box and packaging when he moves. And since he was in college when he got it and is a young professional advancing in his career, he has been moving about once a year.

a buddy was telling me that plasma's are fragile and need to be transported upright. true?

well they are all fragile and plasma's are supposed to be transported in a upright position. I seem to remember hearing the same with LCD's too.

Anything can breach the seal in the Plasma and cause a gas leak making it unusable. A LCD light can go out and the LCD is still usable. Plasma TV's are much more fragile.

Of course, I am a bit biased, and very much a video and audiophile.

Here is a picture of my current set up in the basement:



Except for the height speakers, those are 10" drivers in the mains and center. Sub is a 15"

Very nice. What speakers are those and what are you using to power them? I may need to upgrade my speakers this year, I've had the same NHT speakers for over 10 years. I just bought an elemental design A5-350 (15") sub last year that I've been happy with.

Still the unquestioned best ever TV is the 2008 9th generation Pioneer Kuro Elite but sadly Pioneer dropped their TV division (A lot of their engineers moved to Panasonic)

Amen brother I drooled over that 60" everytime i saw it, but just couldn't afford it. I bought the 58" Panasonic PZ850U instead which still looks better than most tvs they are making now.

For the record. Now watching my brand new 50 inch lg plasma. Its huge. Unreal. Thanks for the help everyone.
