Let me help you
1) Glare - LCDs have less - Plasma have more
- What does that mean to you?
- If you are buying a TV for a living room with 5 windows in the room - you should buy LCD, if you want a flat panel for a basement - you get Plasma
2) Color gamma - Current televisions are capable of displaying only 40% of the color gamut that humans can potentially perceive.
- Most plasma do about that except for Kuro - It produces about 60%.
- LED has bumped up this number to maybe 45% but colors are just MUCH MUCH better on Kuro.
3) Energy efficiency
- Plasma will use a lot more energy than LCD and forget it when you compare that to LED.
4) Size to Cost ratio:
- Plasma "tend" to be cheaper than LCDs. Pay attention to TEND.
- I can buy 50 inch plasma for >2k and I can buy 50 inch LCD for ]]>Nov 21st 2009 1:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/philips-launches-9704-led-pro-televisions-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/philips-launches-9704-led-pro-televisions-in-the-uk/Nov 21st 2009 12:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/philips-launches-9704-led-pro-televisions-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/philips-launches-9704-led-pro-televisions-in-the-uk/

XBR8 is 120Hz and it has Bravia Engine 2.
XBR10 is 240Hz and it has Bravia Engine3.
XBR12 Triluminous LED will have 240Hz motion flow and Bravia 3, that's when I think XBR12 will have a better picture. So I guess what I am trying to say is 3LED or LED technology can only do so much if it doesn't have other technologies to support it. ]]>Nov 21st 2009 1:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/philips-launches-9704-led-pro-televisions-in-the-uk/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/20/philips-launches-9704-led-pro-televisions-in-the-uk/

Us in North America get stuck with mediocre Funai crap with the Philips name slapped on, halfway crooked (I've seriously seen a 32" Philips TV with the name emprinted on the casing crooked.)

What a shame.

To actually sell us something that we should be getting in the first place ..

But seriously .. a TV .. with the PRO tag ?
(Remembering that PRO stands for Professional)

Whats PRO about a consumer TV ?
