James said:Both have many advantages and disadvantages, suggest you do some
research online as well as compare models of both types in the store.
It's too broad of a subject to give you a simple answer.

Leonard said:It depends on the application, size, and budget.
LCD generally is better for use with computers, where smaller screen sizes
are used, where off axis viewing is limited, and where brightness is needed.
PDPs are generally better for video, have better blacks, and are more cost
effective in larger screen sizes. PDPs have phosphors that age, though
newer sets have much improved this area.
These are generalizations. Each factor will vary among brands and models as
well. The best of one technology may outperform poorer designs in the other
type in any area. Prices in both vary greatly. View each set under the
conditions you will be using it and judge actual performance rather than
looking just at the specs, which may be very misleading.

that was discovered and demonstrated 10 or 20 years ago ?
There was an item on t.v. news detailing how a lab-technician carrying a
UV lamp was walking past some test tubes containing liquid plastic,
noticed one / some of them glowed as he walked past. On the t.v. news
item, in a lab.somewhere, someone in a white coat was holding up a ribbon
cable with a small glass/plastic panel 2x2 inch? monochrome (in shades of
greenscale...if you see what I mean), with television motion / images
running on it. It was speculated that from this be developed into
wonderful color flat panel displays. without the complications of
"traditional" Lcd's / tft's and their complicated multi-layer construction
etc. ...and the "refresh" rate characteristics of this "flourescant
plastic" was akin to a CRT. What happened to it ?

They probably couldn't produce the other necessary colors by the same
chemical process.
OLED is clearly taking the lead of next gen display tech. It's super
simple and cheap to fabricate the screens, thinner [and presumably lighter
weight] than any LCD or plasma TV's I've seen, offers true black, wide
viewing angle, low power consumption, etc.
I'm not dumping 3 grand into a plasma set now, when I know (ok speculate)
that by the time the mandated NTSC cutoff date arrives (2/17/09, last I
heard), OLED sets will be priced at or below that of competing plasmas.

Dad gummit I hate when the final output is nothing like what the editor
shows!!
So er.. yeah.. plasmas AND LCD's will be much cheaper than they are now
and OLED sets should be priced similarly at that time.
which one of the tv's are a better buy and less repair problems lcd
or plasma thanks....
Ken said:You have not handled many of these then .. LCD is always lighter than
plasma . In fact all the plasma sets i have worked n all had solid cast
metal frames for the screens . LCD do not have such structures for the
screen .
I just worked on a Pana.... Plasma dated Dec. 05 with a 2 inch wide bar
in the picture .. bad screen on that .
A second Pana... plasma with bad back lights . This model they built the
lights in with the screen and will only sell lights & screen as one unit
.
I have run across a few non working LCD sets and it was never the screen
.. yet ...
James Sweet said:Plasma doesn't have backlights, that one must have been an LCD.
