Guys you have to stop with the burn in debate, plasmas burn in is almost non existent now a days, ive had my plasma over 3 years and no burn in, and you all should know how long i play my 360. As long as you use some sort of burn in dvd it will be fine.
And Jim when u say higher resolution, what exactly does that mean? Plasmas come in 1080p. And you will not notice a difference on a 42 inch, upwards of 50 inch yes you might notice a difference, but on a 42 no way.
i guarantee you a budget plasma (Vizio) will burn in.
and i say higher resolution because if you read his first post he says that the LCD in question is 1080p and the plasma is 720p 
:buickgn:
bah its early 
idk a lot about TVs, but i heard my dads friend say who makes a shit ton of loot doing home entertainment and setups at bars/clubs/etc say if you have the $, you cant even compare, plasma is way better. :gotme:
plasma is king until OLED comes out imo.
marantz / Fujitsu when money is no object.
LG when you want a good value.
LCD when you want 1080p today with a reasonable pricetag
I bought LCD’s for my house because I have a lot of light shining into the rooms I usually watch TV and I didn’t want a glare.
+1000000000000000000000000000000
I cant wait for OLED to fucking pwn everything.
You’ll be waiting a while.
I did hear that a company (don’t remember which) had a 40" pretty much done, but the cost has got to be unreal.
Sony has a 11 inch for 2700$
Go for it!
Plasma keeps my room warm at night
