Projectors vs. TV's - Blu-ray Forum

I would go with either a plasma or an LCD..

It really depends on your lighting situation.. If your going to have the display in a room with a lot outside light (like in a living room) then I would suggest an LCD.. If however you are going to have it in a room where you can control your lighting (like in a darker room, or a dedicated home theater) then I would say plasma..

Something you also have to realize, is that LCD Displays are generally cheaper (in price) than plasma units, but are limited to about 52 inches in size, after that, you are getting into the plasma range..

Also, its not so much of a problem as before, but Plasma displays are known to have burn in problems.. Also remember that Plasmas are also known to have a higher contrast ratio, and an all around higher quality picture, although, some LCD displays are getting really good with contrast ratios.. I myself have a Samsung 120 hertz 52inch LCD, series 7 model, with the touch of color. I love my tv (except for the well documented halo effect) but the Samsung series 6 model don't have the halo effect, and is a great tv.. You can pick up a 40 inch from best buy for about 16 hundred. Its a little pricey, but its well worth it, and i would swear by it..

I hope this helps..

PS... Stay away from Vizio TV's.. They are priced really low for a reason.. Their contrast ratio is horrible, and is just an all around crappy tv.. If that all you can afford right now, save up and get a tv you will be happy with.. Its an investment that you are gonna use just about every day, you are gonna want a nice display.
