i thinking of buying Panasonic 37LX800 (Full HD).. izzit good enuf to watch blue ray movies n ps3 games?

well i dun recommend u to buy plasma tv if u are a hardcore gamer/hardcore movies watcher.. i believe the lifespan of plasma is way shorter than lcd.. i remember i read somewhere (u can google it later) saying that plasma lifespan is about 20k hours while lcd 50k hours

well i had to admit that plasma is better than lcd in terms of picture quality.. but about lifespan of plasma, there are still debates going on about it since plasma is using a combination of noble gases (i.e., argon, neon, xenon), which glow red, blue, and/or green. Many specialist believe that these gasses cannot be replace. So at half life the phosphors in a plasma screen will glow half as brightly as they did when the set was new. Anyway, as u said welwitchia.. even if plasma lifespan can hit only 30k hours (assuming avg watching time in MY is 5 hours = 30k/5/365 = 16 years ++). Well people will change their tv set within +- 5 years... even i change mine in one year ++ From my reading i found that one reviewer conclude this.. it quite old article tough.. im gonna find the latest one.. please share if u have any links.. thanks

Picture Quality = Plasma Win
Computer Use = LCD Win
Fast-Moving Video Playback = Plasma Win
Altitude Usage = LCD Win
Longevity = Depends on manufacturer
Screen Burn In = LCD Win, but plasma seem to have solve this prob
Production Size and Cost = Plasma Win, a bit only
Power Consumption = LCD Win, LCD consume half of Plasma did
Price and Resolution = it's a toss up

Yes.. it's seem that i've given outdated info.. but still these issues are still being debate. Well, obviously a lot of reviewer don't suggest gamers to use plasma coz u tend to pause(static image) a lot.. so i believe it's really depends on wut type of user u are.. in terms of power consumption i believe lcd is way better.
