Getting a TV
When it comes to purchasing a television, many people find out the hard way that it isn’t smart to just jump into a decision without thinking. More often than not, people know that they want a large cheap TV, and that is enough to steer them towards the first, but getting a 50 inch Plasma TV just because it’s in the sale isn’t buyer savvy. People invariably learn the hard way that there are certain situations where plasma TV is superior to a LCD and an LED TV, or that “inexpensive” doesn’t always mean the best deal, and neither does “expensive.” Determining which TV is right for you doesn’t have to be difficult, so long as you know what you’re getting yourself into.
Plasma vs. LCD?
The single most confusing element for most people when trying to choose a TV is whether or not they should go with plasma or LCD. At face value, it can sometimes be difficult to even see a difference in picture between plasma and LCD TVs. Upon closer inspection, however, it becomes clear that each type of TV serves its own purpose, and that the decision between a plasma or LCD TV often comes down to personal preference, as well as the situation. LCD TVs are brighter than plasma televisions, and they come with the added advantage of not burning an image into the screen if it is left stagnant for too long – a common problem with plasma TVs. However, LCD TVs are usually more expensive than plasma, which is why this decision is highly situational.
Resolution
The resolution of a TV is usually referred to either as 720 or 1080. In general, a 1080 TV will be far sharper than a 720. However, it is estimated that most cable companies broadcast in 720; still, DVDs will look far more stunning on a 1080 TV. The downside to 1080 is that it is usually the more expensive of the two, causing many people to have to sacrifice size for a higher resolution.
Size
For many people, the most important aspect of a decision is the size of the television. As technology advances, TVs seem to be getting more and more streamlined; they also seem to be getting bigger and bigger. The size of the television you purchase should fit the room it will be placed in; otherwise, it may look awkwardly large or small. Generally, a 27″ TV is perfect for a bedroom, and a TV 42″ and larger will fit a media room well.

what is the best kind of tv?
i hear that plasmas are not good to buy the reason why was not explained to me. i see a lot of plasmas on sale now for very cheap prices is this because they are no good? wich kind is better LCDor HDTV? what brand is better and why? i am looking for a 50″ flat screen that can be mounted on a wall.
Here put simply is the differences between Plasma and LCD
LCD’s: Higher resolution (Sharper),brighter, non-reflective.
PLASMA: Faster processor for movement, (Smoother images) more natural colours (because of higher contrasts),and 3 dimensional look.
Most people are buying LCDs, as with HD TV they look that much sharper, etc. If you are a sports fanatic, recommend Plasma still, because of lots of movement, but for general TV / Dvds and gaming, LCD. Follow the trend!
Both are great technologies, just different! Similar prices across the board too.
It seems that no matter who you talk too, or read reviews about, Plasma still comes up with the overall best picture, but most people would rather have Sharper Image, and Non-Reflective screen, than a more Realistic Image with Smoother Movement?!?!
Recommend: Sony/Samsung/Sharp LCDs. Panasonic/Pioneer/Samsung plasmas.
Hope this helps.
