Anyone know what's the pros and cons between plasma and lcd tv?

From what i know, plasma is good for,

watching astro
no lagging issue
colours are more warm

While lcd are good for :

ps3 or hd/br dvd, compare to plasma
cheaper?


The cons for plasma is very hot, consume more power, and old technology that is not worth to invest? But yet still few manufacturers like hitachi, lg, panasonic etc are still producing it?

Anyone with Plasma can shows which model you are using?

wat is 24p?

the 2 models that i am looking, Hitachi p42a01a and LG 42pc5r are offering 1024 resolution only, is that 1080i or 720p?

Full HD for Plasma is over budget for me, asked one Hitachi 42" Full HD is bout 11k.

hm yes i saw the pioneer kuro at harvey norman pavillion also...bout 33k, forgotten how many inch is that. Anyone knows 42" kuro price?

50" = 35k....ultimate satisfaction!

i am still deciding between plasma and lcd, a 42" non full hd for plasma and lcd cost around 5k, and to my eyes both looks about the same, but why majority goes for lcd only?

How do you guys judge the PQ quality? based on the movie played by the shop or you byo source?

I m looking at shops that allows me to bring my own dvd and ps3 to test...and ofcoz with reasonable pricing, anyone knows any?

rx where u get the quote? in jb?

tested it before at shop with astro and bluray, looks abit dark to me, and astro are not so clear, comparing with toshiba 42x3500 full hd which is better in both sense.

If u managed to try it out, let me know the results also. I have also shortlisted this model.
