I've been comparing the new LCD Panels side by side and I must say their U series 42 inch LCD Panels look much nicer compared to X or U Plasma panels (dare I even say V panels). The blacks are deeper (when transitioning between images can see the LCD panel is much darker than the plasma panel) I also like the matte surface of the LCD panels as opposed to the glossy plasma panels. Less reflection. The plasma looks to be more greyish - including the Plasma V series. Is my eyes deceiving me or do you all see this also?

I doubt LCDs could go Plasma black.  Sometimes when viewing and comparing at the stores, you have to make sure the TVs are also properly set up, which sadly, more often than not, they aren't.

I was wondering that too - cause I went to 5 different stores and the plasma looks not as good as the LCD panel in all 5 locations. I was aiming to get the plasma all along, but now not so sure. On spec the Plasma has 200,000:1 contrast ratio but the LCD only has 20,000: 1 contrast ratio - so by right the Plasmas should win by a mile. However, my eyes tell me differently. I was thinking the Plasma phospurs has not burned in yet - but it can't be, it's been a while since it came out - and the phosphurs should have been nicely burned in. Oh wel... decisions decisions. Currently I am leaning to the LCD Panel.

My advise.

Understand each technologies strengths and weaknesses, decide which is more important to u, and the weaknesses that u can live with. Armed with that knowledge, try to reproduce ur viewing environment, then trust ur eyes and ur brains. Whatever decision u make, is the best decision....

Actually I've been researching for the past 6 months - so pretty much aware of all the technologies. Just that my eyes is telling me differently. My hall can get quite bright during the daytime because of the design of the house (indoor courtyard) and there are certain places I can't put curtains. So I was thinking the matte surface would be better for me. I'll have a think through 1 last time and make a decision. Thanks for your advise.

hi, index7,

have you compare the viewing angle from side??

For the 2009 model, I found that pana LCD TV the 32 & 37" got very good viewing angle, mean you watch it from side, the color still the same.
But... for the 42", it didn't have the same. you watch it from side, the color "out". all the 3 models are IPS-alpha panel, i also dun understand the different.
But in terms of viewing angle of LCD TV, so far i see this pana really :tb:
toshiba kalah terus in this point.

The 42" looks good to me from most angle. Anyhow, there's only me and my wife for now - so viewing angle will not be an issue.
