Read a report which said that 32" was the biggest seller by far. As has been mentioned, Freeview looks stunning on a LCD Tv. Especially the Terrestrial Zinwell with its HD.

Thats funny, the consensus was plasma over LCD not so long ago?

Any reason why LCD over plasma?

676604 2008-06-09 04:06:00 Personal opinion as much as anything. I read a while back that some of the major manufacturers were steering away from Plasma, I guess that is why there are less Full HD capable Plasma TV's than LCD about.

LCD's are supposed to last longer and Plasma's; "Plasma has a large potential drawback in the form of burn-in or permanent ghosting. If you leave the same image on the screen for too long (like that little logo stations like to keep in the lower right-hand corner), it can leave a permanent impression on your screen."

676605 2008-06-09 04:10:00 I can't really tell you why, but yeah, I think the same.

Would never even consider Plasma. From what I've seen, LCD is better quality, and had advantages like lower power consumption, no screen burn and better HD capabilities.

676606 2008-06-09 04:14:00 The LCD refresh rate seems to be an important one, for HDTV some TV's have 60Mhz which is too slow, 120MHz or higher is best from what I have read. Bantu (52)
676607 2008-06-09 04:17:00 LCD refresh rate? Is that not the 'response time' for an LCD? I Don't remember seeing any documentation on the refresh rate.

Or were you talking about Plasma? :confused:
