LCD or Plasma? (for PC use)

[xoyo]

Hi,

Our lab is planning to buy a large screen display (about 40"),
to demonstrate the experiment result. The video input will be
from PC.

Could anyone give me some suggestion on which one to buy?

Thanks a lot!

Since both are available at that size, and you are driving it with the 15pin
VGA/XGA output, then either would do.

The latest LCD are better than earlier models for movement, but still
'laggy' so if you plan on showing fast movement then use a plasma.

If your pictures are still/frozen for a long time, then beware of the
burn-in problems that can occur with plasma.

hope that helps

I would go for a 40" lCD with the highest resolution you can find. 1280 x
768 seems to be standard on 40" models. A large screen doesn't always mean
any more pixels though. I also look for one with a Digital input. Amazon has
several.

There is also a 45" model from Sharp with a 1,920 x 1,080 resolution..
