LCDs and Plasmas

I'm unsure if that was directed at me, but that isn't an option.

My options are either the Aquos LCD, or the LG Plasma.

Or a 60" Sharp Aquos 240Hz LCD tv (LC-60E88UN).

I already have the 60" Aquos here, but I have to return due to 3 dead pixels (TV is less than 12h old).

So, I can return it for another Aquos, or I can get the LG Plasma.

I love my BD movies, and HD gaming.

What woudl your opinions be? Which unit should I get? Should I just stick with the LCD Aquos? OR opt for the LG Plasma.

Thanks.

The LG has a very reflective screen. If your room can't be light controlled, stick with the Sharp. Of the 2, I'd prefer the Sharp.

Here's another helpful article by Gary Merson at HDGuru.com that sets the record straight on the differences between LCD and plasma displays: http://hdguru.com/how-not-to-choose-...medium=twitter . He deconstructs a recent video tutorial put out by Sony on how to choose the right HDTV.
