Did you guys test a pair of same-sized LCD and plasma using a watt-meter device?

Lifespan should really not be considered because, who actually uses and burns out these things in such a quick way?

Response time is awful on LCDs! 120Hz and 200Hz LCDs do get around that but the movement is so fluid and unnatural.

You probably own a plasma and that’s why you’re talking that way.

I have a Sony Bravia and I’m very pleased with the picture.

I wouldn’t buy a dying technology like plasma.

By any measure whatever differences or advantages Plasma once held over LCD that were once there have now largely vanished…..and whatever minor advantages Plasma may still hold
(if any really do remain) are simply, IMO, not worth the (still) huge price differential.

When comparing like with like (ie a 50″ 1080p screen size) Plasma is still far more expensive
(the exception being when Plasma supporters pretend that the discount selling of old dead models is a reasonable comparison & representitive).

It’s worth noting that Plasma is a dying tech, more and more manufacturers are bailing on it.

LCD with LED backlighting (and the coming related OLED) are far more energy efficient and for that reason alone will see off Plasma.

Besides with local dimming and LED backlighting the once notable contrast differential is no more.

If so, please let me know.
