I just bought a Toshiba 32lcd and a Sylvania 32lcd. Toshiba was 899 on sale, and the Sylvania was 799 on sale. They both share much of the same stats such as 8ms response time, 1200:1 cR, and all the inputs I need. They both look great with my 360 in 720p and great with my HDDVD movies. BUUUT, Regular TV looks light years better on the Toshiba, and for that alone Toshiba wins. Keep in ming that the Toshiba I got was just a monitor, as it has no built in tuner. But my dish network box hooks right up to it making it seamless.

For anything under $2k you’d better be prepared to compromise. I went looking for TVs between 50" and 60" in the $2000 range and saw obvious flaws in everything I looked at. Want to see DLP’s flaws? Put on a hockey game. Watch the players fade out and pixilate as the camera pans. Want to see LCD’s flaws? Put on something that is supposed to be black, or has a color gradient. Plasma looks great, but I’m betting you won’t be happy after a couple of years when pixels start dying and randomly flickering. Bottom line, I’d spend as little as possible now and wait for better TVs to come along in the next few years. ---

> [@neurokinetik](#): > > Plasma looks great, but I’m betting you won’t be happy after a couple of years when pixels start dying and randomly flickering. lol actually bottom line is u gotta read up, pixels do not die at a faster rate than any other tv, they last as long as any other tv out there. had mine over 2 years now and not 1 problem ---
