Recommendation For >42" Plasma/lcd <$1700

[Prune 0]

Anyone here can recommend a model that is >42" (Plasma or LCD is ok) around the region of $1500 - $1700 that allows PC input and HDMI connection.

Was eyeing this LG47" (think model 35) but seems like it cannot allow PC input (may be wrong).

Anyone can help? Thank you in advance.

Sitex is coming soon at expo this weekend. I'm sure you will get good deals from there. Over the weekend i bought 2 samsung LCD TV (42" and 32") for $1730 at the electrical fair at suntec. I would think its a good deal...

If youre into HD format (bluray eg) go for Plasma TV. Panasonic or Pioneer brands & you'll never go wrong.

Get the plasma FULL HD if youre watching in HD format.

Plasma vs LCD

The ADVANTAGES of Plasma over LCD are:

1. Larger screen size availability.

2. Better contrast ratio and ability to render deeper blacks.

3. Better color accuracy and saturation.

4. Better motion tracking (little or no motion lag in fast moving images).

The DISADVANTAGES of Plasma vs LCD include:

1. Plasma TVs are more susceptible to burn-in of static images. (NOT true anymore)

2. Plasma TVs generate more heat than LCDs, due to the need to light of phosphors to create the images.

3. Does not perform as well at higher altitudes. (if youre living in Bolivia or Bhutan)

4. Potentially shorter display life span - this used to be the case. Early Plasmas had 30,000 hours or 8 hrs of viewing a day for 9 years, which was less than LCD. However, screen life span has now improved and 60,000 hour life span rating are now common, with some sets rated as high as 100,000 hours, due to technology improvements.
