I’m looking to buy an HDTV this christmas for my room. I’m thinking 42 inches. The problem I’m having is the whole 720p VS 1080 p and LCD VS plasma debate.
I know for 2500 bucks you can get a really good 1080p TV with a high constrast ratio. But I would really prefer not to spend more than 1300 or so…because it’s just a TV for my bedroom. (15 by 15 feet…it’s not really a bright room)
I’ve been looking at a Samsung 720p plasma HDTV with a 10:000:1 contrast ratio. Its about 1400 dollars.
There are also 1080p LCD TVs for the same price, but the contrast ratio is very low in comparison. (1300:1)
So what does this all mean? What factors are most important? Which TV is the best? a 720p plasma with a high contrast ratio or a 1080p LCD with a lower contrast ratio?
