For many years now I have been a plasma fan.  I had never thought the LCD technology had caught up in size versus quality.  My Panasonic 42inch Plasma which I purchased 6 years ago is still going great guns.  Even now, I think some of the cheaper plasma and LCD screens don’t compare to buying quality.  Panasonic have recently released a media compain pushing the fact that Plasma is still better for a big screen, I applaude them on this, even though they are pushing plasma because that is what they do best, their website comparing different types is honest and gives the general consumer a very clear understanding of the differences.

Having said all that, a mate of mine purchased a new Samsung 40inch CD screen 5 months ago and I have to say… wow!!! It is a great picture, certainly the best I have seen on the market for an LCD of that size.  The key factor still remains though, LCD – Black is Grey! however colors are clear and true. Plasma – Black is Black but the brightness is not there for sun filled rooms.

 Anyway, check out the Panasonic site for a clearer picture http://www.whychooseplasma.com.au/ and if you are still interested in LCD check out Samsung  http://www.samsung.com/au/products/tv/lcdtv/
