It's called a "Kill a Watt". Have fun, and report to us your results!]]>Jul 6th 2007 8:28AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/05/recent-survey-suggests-plasmas-preferred-over-lcds/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/05/recent-survey-suggests-plasmas-preferred-over-lcds/
Porsches and Lambos preferred over Aveos and Cobalts.]]>Jul 5th 2007 8:32PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/05/recent-survey-suggests-plasmas-preferred-over-lcds/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/05/recent-survey-suggests-plasmas-preferred-over-lcds/http://www.g4techtv.ca/callforhelp/shownotes/0283.shtml?regular

Is it worth the tradeoff for a better picture? I think it is, personally.]]>Jul 6th 2007 12:29PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/05/recent-survey-suggests-plasmas-preferred-over-lcds/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/05/recent-survey-suggests-plasmas-preferred-over-lcds/
The LCDs Ive been seeing now are much better than Plasma.. Also to note.. Ive been seeing alot of 1-2 year old plasmas now that have problems with the picture.. Dots of Color were it shouldnt be..

I used to hate LCDs but they are much better now.. Esp when you figure in price and how long your plannin B4 you wanna replace it..]]>Jul 6th 2007 4:44PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/05/recent-survey-suggests-plasmas-preferred-over-lcds/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/05/recent-survey-suggests-plasmas-preferred-over-lcds/
So as far as a survey on HD sets, alot of ppl just associate what they know due to all the Media Hype on Plasmas from a few years back.. Ya know when they were $20k+ just for a 30-some Inch, And now they see 40+ inch for around $2k.. So they go and buy one now that they can afford it, but dont realize they could have had better..]]>Jul 6th 2007 4:51PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/05/recent-survey-suggests-plasmas-preferred-over-lcds/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/05/recent-survey-suggests-plasmas-preferred-over-lcds/
regarding power consumption all this was true when display sizes were small 32" and below. Now research has shown that on displays 42" and bigger it evens out as plasmas turns off their pixel for blacks where as LCD pixels has to be on all the time.

People often forget that Plasma is the newer of the two technologies and is changing as rapidly as everything else is - there is not much similarity between the technology used in a 5 year old plasma and a new one.

Of course it all comes at a premium - you must have a high-end model, but why drive Toyota when you drive Ferrari?]]>Jul 8th 2007 4:59AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/05/recent-survey-suggests-plasmas-preferred-over-lcds/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/05/recent-survey-suggests-plasmas-preferred-over-lcds/
The result of the survey is not that surprising. Color reproduction and black level is a lot better with plasma than with LCD. It has both being scientifically and subjectively proven.]]>Jul 8th 2007 11:39AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/05/recent-survey-suggests-plasmas-preferred-over-lcds/http://hd.engadget.com/2007/07/05/recent-survey-suggests-plasmas-preferred-over-lcds/
My 5 year old Pioneer 50" plasma still has a great picture and no burn in (how can it with the "screen saver" function working?). The only panels I have ever seen with burn in have been in public places continuously showing transit schedules or in business lobbies with a burned in CNN ticker at the bottom. My only problem is when I see a 50" plasma for sale at $1399 at Sam's. I feel a little better when I think of the $750 I saved by not getting the extended warranty.

To get back to the original topic, if plasmas had shortened life’s we would have a tsunami of dead panels on the beach. The LCD fanboys need a new story.

Since both channels have a ticker on the screen all day, should I assume Plasma is out for me because of burn in?
