Your choice is between the Pioneer Kuro Plasmas - get the new 1080P one, or the W series Sony LCDs basically need to do head to head between the two.

Around 50" you have PDPLX508D vs KDL52W4000

LCD.....every time.

Mark seems to be pro LCD. I am not sure about the black is black thing with reviews of top of the range LCDs saying 'this is as as good as plasma', which means anything below isn't.

I do think that he is right on the speed of development of LCD. In 2 years time, this debate probably wouldn't be happening... LCD all the way.

All I can say is that I may have to buy a new TV soon and it will be LCD. Partly because I look at all you guys through my current LCDTV and not a dedicated monitor.

It is not a technology choice but a model choice, the best of each technology are better than most of the competing technology. The two model ranges I have mentioned are about the best there are

But, to be totaly honest, neither of those give a good enough improvement over thier cheaper competitors to warrant the price tags.

[Mr Skrunts]

So, of all the brand names, who do you go with?

[cem_devecioglu]

LCD..

[Proz]

Plasma full 1080p wins hands down

THe W series SOnys are much better than S series or V series

You still there, Dusty? I'm as confused as you are, but thankfully i'm not in the market for a new tele. just yet.
Hope you make the right decision at the end of the day.  :-/

[Mr Skrunts]

I will hopefully be going for a new TV arround December.  Was fancying a Panasonic Virra Plasme.    Not sure what to get now.   :-/ :-/

[carper]

I would say plasma ... i made my chose after seeing each of them side by side .... to me the plasma was sharper and clearer  

  And with plasma you get true colours, and NO dead pixels.

[Martin_1962]

At least I am down to two ranges - price and size means when I can afford it 46" Sony W series

LCD every time.  The old advantages of plasma are no more - blacks and screen size.  The downsides of plasma are still there - weight, complexity, reliability.


Oh, and anything Sony is utter shite. Tossers.

That comment was predictable.
