yea the question is, how you wanna use your tv? If you play games, i suggest the toshiba, if watching blueray and stuffs, the plasma. I would personally go for the toshiba cause the sound quality is very good, plasma tends to make the room hotter and more power consumption, but the pros are it provides the best PQ.

Well....basically most of the time will be viewing Astro (B.yond). Only once a while would be playing DVDs & Wii. I think I have seen/read somewhere that plasma which uses fluorescent technology that is harmless to our eyes compare with LCD which uses LED? - Pls correct me if I'm wrong wink.gif
Cos my son likes to play near the TV cabinet doh.gif

Currently I'm also using Toshiba 32AV550E model & I'm basically satisfied with the brand. But its just that since years ago when we viewed plasma technology you'll swear to yourself that 1 fine day you will OWN one. notworthy.gif Well the day is here....but nowadays it looks like LCD & LED is the way of the future. Again, correct if I'm wrong hmm.gif
I'm not really a tech geek (no pun intended)... but I find that plasma PQ is more natural while LCD is towards...(more) vibrant colours.
I have really shorlisted this 2 models & I hope all the sifus/owners out there would help compare this 2 model. Is both models specification the latest?
Sorry for being such a noob... rclxub.gif

Both plasma and lcd have prons and cons.

Of course, their life span is the same 60000 hours.
Plasma is good in supporting analog and digital signal while LCD only good in supporting digital signal.

Lets talk about plasma first,
Plasma have higher heat and higher reflection compare to lcd.
But the good things about plasma is better quality when u are watching astro because astro is still using analogue system.
However, there are five channel in astro had digital signal. There should will be more channel with digital signal soon in the future.

While, LCD is better in gaming and blue ray player.

Meanwhile, there is a new technology called LED. Y don't you go check it out?
