LCD or Plasma?

[sportsfan41]

What's everyones take on the two?

Plasma for sure. Unless you have a bunch of windows around wherever you put your TV. In that case, to prevent a glare, go with the LCD. If not go with Plasma 100%.

I like my 42 inch Plasma because it is in my family room where there isnt a lot of lighting.

If you want a plasma you might want to get one soon. The Australian Government is making an attempt to ban plasma TV's because they use too much energy...

lol I'm a girl, and kind of a space cadet about technology stuff like this, but why would it matter if Australia is banning them, cause we're here? I don't know, honest question.

Well it's really pretty simple. Australia is just the first to make a major push, the UK is also giving it thought. So two things could happen if the ban succeeds in other countries 1) the price on plasma's will go up because demand goes down 2) The US will follow with either a ban or a hefty tax to detour people from purchasing plasma's...

I would think that Country's such as China and Japan would certainly push for no ban of these tv's as it will directly effect major companies there. It could happen, but I doubt it, however I could see the governments saying that they need to make them more energy efficient, similar to what the government has done in the US with its auto manufactures.

As for the tv I'm not buying one soon, but my friend is and they're oblvious and figured I'd get some others thoughts on the matter.

Personally I've thought that the LCDs look better in the showrooms compared to the plasmas. The fact that they use less energy and (correct me if I'm wrong) have a longer lifespan is also a factor.

Couldn't disagree more...
