Plasma. No question. I sell high end televsion sets and there is no question Plasma is far and away the best. The burn in issues are no longer a concern at all and the definition and refresh rate FAR exceed any of the other types. You can get a far larger set for the price and the price is substantially better than the prices for LED and even LCD.

Now the salesmen will want to sell you an LED (Which isn't a bad TV. The biggest advantage is that it uses about 1/2 the energy of a plasma.) because he doesn't make sh*t on a Plasma, but all the tech-heads will tell you go plasma. It's a no-brainer.

I'm looking at the Sony 52" LED LCD and trying to convince myself that it is worth the 1800.

I got a 46" Sony about 7 months ago and have been very happy with it.


While I love Sony, the Pioneer Elite line is second to none. I worked for Pioneer as a product specialist years ago and know the Elite line simply can't be beat. Not cheap though.

Everything I've heard about plasma refutes your statement. Uses too much energy, burn issue is real and the price is more than LCD/LED.

I'm not a big fan of how washed-out the picture is on the Sonys due to the anti-glare coating on the screen.

Put it next to a Samsung and there's no comparison. JMO.

My Sony is not washed out at all. I did my comparisons and know my stuff.

It comes down to personal preference.

That's complete and utter bullcrap. Neither statement is true. The plasmas use less energy than your old tube TVs and the cost to use is not that much more than a LCD. Burn in has been virtually eliminated by manufacturer settings built-in to the TV sets to counteract it.

Beyond that there is little comparison. In terms of the refresh rate, ZERO motion-blur due to a high, high refresh rate and a color range second only to the new Sharp AQUOS LED.

Do a quick price comparison on a 50" Plasma to a 50" LED real quick and tell me which is more.

I never said tube tv. You made my point versus LCD.

I've heard many people go way too big on the screen size for the size of the viewing room.

That's Sharp. The Quatron. They have a yellow subpixel in addition to the traditional three. You can put a magnifying glass up to the screen and see the yellow subpixel. It's cool. The yellows are noticeably richer.

A few comments from my experience:

1) above all, trust your eyes. each approach(plasma, lcd, led) has strengths and weaknesses but the weaknesses are minor in all; just different. same goes for brand if you are hitting the big ones LG, Samsung, Sony, Panasonic.

2) as for too big - I haven't seen it be a problem. Bought a 42 for my bedroom (12x12) and it's not too big at all. Unless you are sitting 6 feet away and get a 60 inch I doubt you are going to err by going big. that said, 50+ inch should be fine for any normal living room and 40+ would probably work too.

And your picture pays the price for it. Get a high speed, 1.4 HDMI cable. There's a reason why better cables are more expensive. They are better cables.

Until I see facts I don't buy it for digital signals. Monoprice stuff is fine quality.

I would say that some cheaper cables are better than the more expensive ones. Bandwidth is what you should be concerned about, the more it carries at once the better, no matter the price.

I'm happy with my $6 cable. Maybe my standards are too low, but that doesn't matter to me at this point.
