Why would someone prefer the LCD or the better Plasma models?


Originally, I went plasma because of viewing angle problems in the
living room. - Panasonic 42".

And I don't care what kind of LCD TV it is, I can tell the difference
sitting off angle, even minor, with an LCD that I can't see on a
plasma.

Now I have an LCD in my office - Toshiba 27" because I don't sit at an
angle to the TV. Comparatively, in terms of picture color, blah,
blah, blah it's about the same in terms of performance.

So that's why I went with plasma in the living room and LCD in my
office.


What kind of angle are you talking about? I watch regularly about 20
degrees off center, and the picture looks pretty good to me.

I don't have a plasma here to compare it to, but I didn't notice any big
difference in Best Buy with the two types right next to each other.
