Plasma TV's have a short life span (avg 5 years), so enjoy your toy while it lasts.

I heard that - My cousin had one of the biggest mothers I've ever seen and it lasted 3 years before it started physically spewing out minute glass particles into the air and had to be trashed.

Methinks I shall stink with the good ol' 70-80cm number and avoid the plasma until i have guarantees it shall last a tad longer.

The gas dies in Plasma TVs, and can't be re-gassed like a car's air conditoner for example.

No wonder the price of them has plummeted in recent times.

I think LCDs will be the wave of the future.

Beat me to it, LCD > Plasma. Way better.

Pay a little extra, get extra quality and will also last much longer.

Wrong. The life span of an LCD display is not much better, plus you have the added benefit of dead pixels, as the manufacturing technique is still a fair way off perfection.

I'm going to stick with the good old 68cm flat screen tv with digital set top box

 

[Zeke]

Can't beat a quality data projecter with quality screen setup.

 

[gerta]

Tsk tsk you dont know much do you..

LCDs last around four times longer than plasmas do and when it dies, it can be repaired, unlike the plasma

I don't think so.

LCDs do not last 20 years - and do you know how you repair an LCD panel if it dies? By replacing it with another. The cost? Same as a new one.

Back to school for you sunshine.

Lol, how do they know they last 20 years, did someone build one in 1984, and have it suddenly stop this year ??

 

[raboyle]

LCD TV's don't get burn in like plasmas can.

But if you steer away from both of them altogether, a nice Sony 76cm with HD does really well, as does LG's LaFinion series of TV's.

 

[morax]

both lcd and plasma's are seen in the industry as interim technologies. the current plasma's are rated as 60 000 hours lifespan which should see them crack 10 years.

Ill settle this....

I was in the Sony shop the other day in Chapel St. Melbourne, we asked for some help about TVs. This is what he said...

1) LCD screens are clearly the best quality, although because the quality is so good, the screen flickers/stutters every so often in order to keep up with the frames as they happen. Although as the technology evolves, this will probably be phased out...

2) Plasmas therefore, are a better choice AT THIS TIME!!!! Although things can change. The picture quality is clearly poorer and less crisp than that of an LCD, but its more consistent. And the quality isnt THAT much worse.

3) These days both Plasmas and LCDs both last around 10-15 years. Although these are getting better as time goes on...

4) Most interestingly, if he had to pick any TV for himself, he would pick the 68CM Flatscreen WEGA Sony TV with Digital Set Top Box. Costing around $5,000, as opposed to the LCDs and Plasmas which are around double. Although these weighed roughly 110kgs and were big mommas, as opposed to the LCDs and Plasmas which are just hung on a wall

And that is what i discovered at my recent TV shopping expedition

Major problem when LCD goes - you get a new backlight. To fix your plasma, you get another TV. And LCDs do last 4 times longer than plasmas. Back to Night School loser

 

[morax]

another point to remeber is at a recent industry show, most believe that entry level plasma's and lcd's will be around the $1000 by xmas 2006.

Keep beliving that if you will sunshine, but then again if the salesman told you so it must be true?
