i know i know… old tired thread subject… but im REALLY close to buying a new tv (finally) and was wondering what i should lean towards buying… i WAS leaning towards a LCD but now im not sure and talking to my tech nerd brother in law. I’m looking for a 52", hdmi, 120hz type tv… and would like to keep it around (or under if possible) $2000.
Here’s my setup as of now… i run digital cable thru time warner, i have a xbox 360 (no hdmi - component) and i only have a regular old dvd player (no bluray yet)… so, for the most part im using this tv for movies and gaming…
i’ve been told in the past that if im gaming i want a LCD for sure since plasmas have burn in issues (is that still the case?). i’ve also been told if i want to watch movies i should look for a plasma since they are better for motion and have deeper blacks. does 120 hz take care of the motion problem for lcds? I’m also hearing that plasmas dont last as long and are noisier than lcds… but i know that plasmas ARE cheaper than lcds as well for the most part…
with all of this info, i keep going around and around in circles… which is better to have for what? i guess i need to answer that myself… but i thought i would ask some of the experts out there too for what they thought. the living room im setting this up in tends to be on the brighter side, but not overly bright i dont think… not sure if that is pertinent.
thanks for the help in advance!
