| 862097 | 2010-03-21 16:55:00 | 100 Hz or higher is a good idea for LCD's. It only makes sense to settle for 50 Hz if you are on a very tight budget. However to be fair, most people would not notice the limitations of 50 Hz; many times in shops I compared 50 Hz with 100 and 200 Hz as well as plasma screens and could not tell any difference except for the credits (text) at the end of a film, and sometimes when the camera panned across a scene. 9 out of 10 times I can pick out the LCD's from the plasma's from the other end of a shop. LCD's - to me - appear more vivid, clear, whereas plasma's look washed out and grayish. But if you have a plasma as the only screen in a room, such as at home, it will look great because there is nothing to compare it to. The main disadvantage with plasma's is the reflection from windows and lights in the viewing room; some people don't mind but for me it would be irritating. That is why people get sucked into buying a LCD, because it's brighter and shouts LOOK AT ME! A bit like the office party drunk, entertaining at first but gets annoying after a while. A correctly set up (ISF) Plasma will be better than an LCD. (In my humble opinion of course) I can't stand the in your face look of the LCDs Plasma for me. |

| 862104 | 2010-03-21 21:10:00 | I bought LCD for one reason and that was they use less power. I am really interested in splitting hairs about piccy quality I dont watch any sport on tv so the frequency is a non issue. Normally just try and catch the news on 3 at 1800 hrs so black and white would be ok. |
