LCD, Plasma or DLP

[TurquoiseRack]

I currently have a 37" LCD Toshiba HDTV. But I'm thinking I want to go bigger. I have a PS2 and what a Wii and just want to know what television to you guys prefer for Gaming. I found a coupon code at CircuitCity for $100 off DLP (Coupon Code HZAJLA6AKD) and I'm trying to decide if I should use it. Do you guys like DLP for gaming or prefer/suggest anything else?

Have you guys used LCD or plasma for gaming? I heard plasma is a no go because of burn in and LCD isn't that great because of motion blur. Have you guys experienced this?

If the LCD tv has a response time of 6ms or less then it shouldnt be an issue I guess...

I have a 50" Visio Plasma, and if I pause games for awhile and come back I can still see the pause menu. It goes away after about a min and is very faint. No ghosting issues with football or any other sports. I love it, and want another one!!

I agree. I was looking at DLPs yesterday, checking out the after Christmas bargains. The picture quality is really amazing. I've read they have colors that don't even exist in LCD or plasma.

plasma is not good for gaming for shure.. LCD is what I have for my young boys to play p3 ...

I have DLP but on some games the screen isn't bright enough to see everything. Football is great but I was playing some army game a few days ago and couldn't see jack shit.

 

[TurquoiseRack]

That sucks. I blame it on the game not the TV lol! DLP commonly has a pretty good contract ratio.

DLP, Plasmas are slowly being phased out.

Both Plasmas and LCDs cause a burn-in to some extent.
Work your playstation on your plasma and keep it paused for 2 days, the playstation logo will be embedded in the background of your plasma for a very long time. Your plasma might even have to be replaced. Most warranties don't replace for burn-ins - it is considered customer negligence. Plasmas are a really bad choice for gaming. LCD are preferable. They are different technologies, one's gas and the other is liquid, one's transmisive and the other is reflective. LCD tech. is more expensive than plasma, and that's why as the tv gets bigger, the LCD gets more expensive that the plasma of the same size. I'd recommend any LCD tv with 1080p, HDMI / DVI and VGA inputs, and a blueray player. PSIII will work becuase it is HD.

With the proper break-in of a plasma, you could get a way without burn-in. First 100-200 hours of use, you should view a moving picture , no static images on the screen and it will be fine.

There are DVD's specifically for this issue. Although LCDs are getting a lot better and it seems like all technologies are pretty similar now, I still love the dark picture/contrast ratio of the plasmas. I guess it's a user opinion type thing at this point.

Can't beat the 50 Panasonic 'Vierra' plasma for $1200 Seriously wtf? You can't go wrong at that price, awesome TV.

 

[the_alcatraz]

panasonic has the leading market prices in plasmas

Absolutely not. If anything Plasmas & LCDs are getting more advanced. Ever hear of Ultra HDTV? Newest technology coming out of Japan in about 4 or 5 years. 4x as many pixels of current models.(1920 × 1080)7,680 × 4,320 pixels. Movie stars dont want this because we will be able to see all their plastic surgery.. lol.

If you buy a plasma, buy Panasonic. I own a 42in, wish I would have went 56in.

lol


how did you come to that conclusion? i'm just curious.

 

[drsketch]

DLP is best for gaming.. Neither of those systems is HD though so its going to look like shit.
