Which HDTV ???????????

Timmah, I think this one is for you but putting it out there for all you tech gods. We are in the market for a HDTV. Plasma, LED, etc., .... which has the best picture? Looking for a 50". We are debating primarily between the Panasonic 50" Plasma and a Panasonic 50" LED projection among others. I've been told the LED has the best picture quality but takes up a little more room. I've read and re-read www.plasmatvbuyingguide.com. Any other good websites to read?

You can learn more at www.avsforum.com than you will ever want to learn.

Usually Plasma and DLP sets have better contrast, or black levels, than LCD's but LCD's are catching up fast. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. I have a friend who is a Pioneer rep and he just got the Elite Pro1130 Plasma set and it looks incredible. I have another friend who has a Sony LCD projection TV and it looks just as good!

Good Luck!!!

Sony Wega 50" LCD TV...best large screen picture I have ever seen!

Dont buy any plasma TV's until next year because that is when the built in white wash that cleans the images burnt onto your interior plasma screen will be affordable to all consumers. Right now, these specific plasmas are 3 grand. Next year, they will drop in price significantly....

If you play video games, do NOT buy a plasma TV, your TV will be shot in 3 years! If you like video games, get an LCD....

Just my 2 cents...

No video games

No video games on this set. I'll check out that forum. Is the Sony Wega LCD High Def? I know Tim probably sells the very high end stuff. Don't know if I want to drop $10k but I'd spend $3.5k .

Sony is off my list. I will never buy another sony product again. They usually work good and do well in the ratings but twice I had a sony product that didn't work properly and twice they never resolved the problem. Sorry, with me they don't get three strikes.

Once I get settled in, I'll be in this also. I'd say go with an LCD(low profile if possible). It'll be cheaper than plasma and last longer. Also many have told me to go with an HD ready set, not one with the stuff built in. Correct?
