Plasma or LCD TV, That is the Question!

Sometimes you can have too much choice! With sales of flatscreen TVs rising by 55% in Sweden every electronics shop is full of them. But which to choose ???

First you have to decide on LCD or Plasma. Plasma give better picture quality but can suffer from picture burn in. LCD is immune to burn in, but can have a really crappy picture if the signal is bad. I just can't decide.....Some flat TV pictures I have seen are not even as good as my existing analogue TV, which is 15 years old.

In the shops they have hundreds of different TVs but I can never find any good reviews to say which is a good purchace.

The review published in Dn really scared me off Plasma, due to the burn in problem, but a salesman in a shop told me you would need to have the same picture on the screen for hours for this to happen. Who is right? .....aggghhhhh!!!

While I can't decide I'll keep watching my analogue TV and watch the cost of the flatscreen TVs fall. But now my kids are a little older I want to be able to watch DVDs in the evening on a proper screen and, like Gollum lusting after the One Ring, I can't stop thinking about the owning my own 40inch+ flatscreen 'precious'.

It's easy really, once that you remember that NO-ONE leaves school with the sole ambition of working in a shop selling TVs!
1. Your old CRT TV will look great. It's just sooo small across and sooo big out the back.
2. Plasma looks better in your lounge (maybe not in the artificial environment of the shop) and won't burn it unless you leave the PS2 on the same screen all day - and then some.
3. LCD is great for the little places like your motorhome or kitchen or your wrist.
