Which tv ami looking for
- Jan 18, 2013 8:25 am GMTA few years ago I was at a friends house and we watched avatar on his new tv. The picture looked unbelievable, like you were looking through a window, the motion,clarity, and colors were just amazing. I was wondering if the plasma tvs produce more of a lifelike image compared to LEDS/LCDS. I would ask them but i havent talked to them in years.I Have had my eye on the panasonic st50,but i would like to get that same image quality, thanks!

Yes, plasmas do have a better picture presentation than LCD's. It's very apparent if you go to a store where they have TV's up and running for display so you can compare.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

i5-3570k@4.5ghz/CM Hyper 212+/Gigabyte Z77-D3H/8GB Corsair DDR3/Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti SOC 1GB/128GB Samsung 830 Series SSD/1 TB WD Caviar Black HDD/Creative X-FI Xtremegamer/DVD Burner+Blu-ray/CM 692 case/Acer H233H 23" 1080p/Panasonic TCP50-VT25 50" 3d Plasma TV/Klipsch Promedia 2.1/Antec Earthwatts 650 watt PSU/Vista X64
Seeing Avatar on a VT25 display was a big part of what convinced me to buy mine. I recommend the ST50. You'll get what you're looking for.

i've had that same moment walking through the sony store! Plasmas do produce pretty sharp images, but those new quad-pixel color lcd/led tv's look pretty sharp too.

what kind of led lcd tvs do you have? yeah the only reason i considered a plasma is because of the ratings on amazon and cnet which rated it the best picture of 2012

It probably was a plasma, to me the plasmas are better all around, especially the newer models.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

i have had all brands of lcds. first ever was back in 07 when i bought a no name tv called Astar. 27` 1080i. had it for 3 years and i neighbor bought it for almost what i paid for it so i couldnt pass it up. then i bought a magnavox 47` 1080p great picture no blur or lag used to play mw2 all the time on both ps3 and 360 on it. but after 2 years it died! used my warrenty and got it fixed for free but 6 months later it broke again and i got screwed
then i bought a 40` top name samsung 240hz 1080 p. perfect so far. then i bought a 32` 1080p panisonic lcd. nice picture but now have two deads pixels u cant really see them unless the screen is black. last year i bought a 42` 120hz 3dhdtv vizio pasive 3d . i liked it it alot and am looking for a bigger passive 3d tv this year for the living room. i was probably a little harsh on my comments about plasma. but i really dont see why all the guys at cnet go nuts over them.i have had all brands of lcds. first ever was back in 07 when i bought a no name tv called Astar. 27` 1080i. had it for 3 years and i neighbor bought it for almost what i paid for it so i couldnt pass it up. then i bought a magnavox 47` 1080p great picture no blur or lag used to play mw2 all the time on both ps3 and 360 on it. but after 2 years it died! used my warrenty and got it fixed for free but 6 months later it broke again and i got screwed :( then i bought a 40` top name samsung 240hz 1080 p. perfect so far. then i bought a 32` 1080p panisonic lcd. nice picture but now have two deads pixels u cant really see them unless the screen is black. last year i bought a 42` 120hz 3dhdtv vizio pasive 3d . i liked it it alot and am looking for a bigger passive 3d tv this year for the living room. i was probably a little harsh on my comments about plasma. but i really dont see why all the guys at cnet go nuts over them.
