One thing I forgot to mention... Plasmas like the old CRT's are prone to burn-in. For the first couple hundred hours of use turn the contrast and brightness down and avoid static images (like the tv station logo in the corner). After it's broken in - balls to the walls.
That info is a bit dated but I'm not taking chances with mine... Even if the new tv's are supposedly impervious to burn-in. |

There's a pixel shifting option for the Samsung that's supposed to prevent burn in.

At that size id say 1080p. At the prices they are, why not. I game on my PC with my 1080 and theres a big difference between it and 720. For "just" tv watching, sure 720 is fine. Like i said. At the prices 1080's are now i wouldnt go 720.
Like said before all the numbers on the box is bullshit. The contrast can be 1,000,000:1 and itll look just like a cheapo 5,000:1. |

One thing a guy that I worked with pointed out was that they 720p tvs will have the lower end displays.
What it comes down to is finding a tv that looks good to your eyes and wallet. My eyes and wallet have never seen eye 2 eye so I have to wait for the tv I want since I side with my eyes. James

My 50" 720p plasma has treated me well.

Whatever you do, don't go by the number on the box. There aren't any standardized tests to dictate how manufacturers calculate their contrast ratio. The proof is in the numbers... there is absolutely no way any pixels on that set are 2,000,000 times brighter white vs. black.
Anything over 10,000 is questionable. Anything over 100,000 is fertilizer. You really need to look at each of them and pick whichever one you feel is best. If you can't see a noticeable difference, go with the less expensive one (assuming they're both the same size). |
