my plasma is fucking awesome!!! I love this thing. I'm using my 42 inch hd tv as my computer monitor LOL. Necessary? no. bad ass? yes.


HD PORN FTMFW!!!!!

Wow badfish. Fail. Lol

Jack is right. In theory, plasmas offer twice the picture of what an LCD does. The color quality and vividness of the picture is stunning at the least. The only reason more LCD's are produced is because manufacturers make more money off of them with the bulbs and parts, whereas like Jack stated, plasmas take over ten years to go through half-life, and even then can still be used.

A projection tv will never beat a flat-screen, even an off brand LCD or plasma looks ten times better than a projection does. It's just the way projections are, the space that they have to travel over will always distort the image to some extent its just logic.

DLP's are also harder to take care of. If you watch tv or play 360/ps3 for about 8 hours a day on a DLP you'll be replacing the bulb every couple of years. Or, like in my experience, the color wheel will go out after only three years and replacing the bulb a month before...

Xbox 8 hours a day? lol.

lol, I was in saturday night matinee (same company as FYE) with my lil bro, looking for a blu ray disc for my mom, and we saw blu ray girls gone wild. I thought it was hilarious. Good story ghosty, I know.

If you could actually read you can see it says TV or xbox...I generally leave it on for the most part of the day unless I leave my house, whether I'm watching it or not.

I treat my plasma the same, and have yet to see any type of burn-in or static image. They want you to believe plasmas have burn-in so you'll buy a more expensive LCD or DLP instead and then they can rip you on parts. Trust me, I've had Sony reps come to me at work asking me why we are still selling plasmas, because they don't give us as much profit....

The plasma burn-in isn't a myth. When they first came out, plasmas DID have bad burn in problems. But for the last few years now, they've pretty well fixed the problems. As for the lifespan of the tvs, Most new plasmas and LCD's are rated at something like 60000 to 100000 hours of life. Which means you're NOT going to run them out.

DLP's viewing angles aren't as good as either of the others, but they're not that bad. My mom recently bought a 58" Samsung DLP and the viewing angle on it isn't bad at all.

a DLP TV is still a flat screen

Idk i look at it like this the people who say plasmas suck and they had burn in problems are the people who went out and bought some pos cheapo plasma that was absolute shit to begin with. I have seen many people with plasma tvs that literally play video games all day...literally my friend is a video graphics major lol... and have not had any problems. I think you just get what you pay for, If you buy a quality tv then you should have no worrys. Like my self for istance i Wish i went out and bought me one hell of an expensive plasma but i got my 46'' lcd 1080p im not complaining it will hold me over for the time being ;)

flat panel is what he meant..use common sense buddy. then you can say that a movie projector is a flat screen....its just a front projection.

how would i know he meant flat panel. and my DLP TV is pretty damn flat...

not my actuall tv but same model..

That is a very good point.. Bothy of my plasma's are from Panasonic which arguably makes the best plasmas available.

I had a friend who went out and got a Plasma years back, he spent less than 1,000, and this was back when the EDTV's were going for nearly 2,000.

It was something that started with a V, i dont think it was Visio, i think it was actually "Voila" or some crap like that... the thing diddnt even do 480P it was total garbage and broke on him within a year. The remote was the cheapest POS i ever saw too, something akin to a $15 VCR's included remote.

My 480P ED plasma is still running strong and looks fantastic. 3+1/2 years now i think.

... its called common sense stupid


lol...


:D

not really, the phrase flat panel and flat screen are both used all the time when talking about TV's...

Yes they are both used all of the time, and they have different meanings and apparently you are the last person on earth not to recognize that.

the reference to Flat Panel Tv's is to reffer to direct view LCD and Plasma TV's

Flat Screen is used to reffer to a screen that is not curved like the older tube tv's..


Now that you know this you will probably get less confused looks from everyone else that already knows this.

lol

thanks jack!

ROFL!
