Yes Willie, why not plasma.  I thought only the first generation plasma has problem not the later ones.

That's not too bad, but I think you will find a better deal.

But really, an extra $600 for just 5 more inches.

I guess my mind is infested with cons on plasma not to consider it. Looking more into the digital ones. Unless anyone could substantially convince me why plasma is better.

Sounds good. But, I would like to get answers to the following questions.

Does plasma TVs consume more power?

Are we able to play video games without any screen burnouts?

Why are digital TV's alot more expensive?

Can the screen be viewable in all angles?

I might have other questions. But, those are the ones I have now. The answers might lure me to switch to plasma instead.

Thanks

Thanks.

Now I would like to get opinions on all who own a digital and/or plasma tv.

Not considering the cost of the TVs. If you had to buy one. Which would it be?

I have multiples of both.  The main ones I use at home are plasma's and when I want to seriously watch something or hook up the game system it's on a plasma.

When the company want's something to look really good or to impress some people at a trade show we push the plasmas.  When I want one guy to be able to handle a screen by himself or the client doesn't want to really spend much money on a rental we rent the LCD's.

I would buy a plasma over an LCD anytime for personal viewing.  The LCD's are getting better, but they just are not quite there yet.

I just picked up the 42" Panasonic Viera 1080P and it's awesome for $1299. 
 
Was planning on getting the 32" Sharp Aquos for $1099 for the bedroom, but hesitated on it due to the price and size differential however great the tv may be.
 
I think that Hitachi is well worth it. Definitely will take a look at it on Black Friday.

Further reiterating the plasma over LCD preference you have there, I share in that thought as well. But just out of curiousity, I would think the bigger the plasma tv is, the better the picture quality would be? Or is this just a folklore?
 
My line of thinking is a bigger tv means more plasma goes into it equating to a better overall quality.
 
Ask and I shall recieve?

Well there is some truth to your statement.  But you really can't tell the difference till you get to the bigger sizes, such as a 46" or so. Unless you really have a trained eye or are just a TV junkie.
 
Hope you have a great Thanksgiving.
