Marty thinks he's the know all and end all.

In this thread, he's correct. It's not an "LED" TV but the argument is pretty much splitting hairs. It is a marketing ploy by companies though.

Plasmas are cheaper and better than most LCDs at producing blacks. There only knock is still that at certanin angles, plasmas become unvieweable but at a size of 50" i really doubt that will be aproblem with spencers situation

You are mistaken. Plasmas are better than LCD when it comes to viewing angles. This has been a common and still present advantage with plasma due to the nature of its technology.

Anyways, for the actual decision on the TV, Plasma is the better choice. LCD's only advantage is brightness, weight, and less care needed when moving it. With virtually no worry for image burning, you'd be crazy not to go with a Plasma these days.

Is there any worry about image burning for plasmas still, or no?
