ok what is everybodys problem with plasma it seems to me that everyone is bias against them, and im not saying that you should get one im just saying i dont think they are near as bad as you all make them out to be, i think they have many pros such as that they arent that expencive, they have better picture than lcd and they are cheaper, they dont get burn in near as easy as everyone says in my opinion and i dont know about other plasma tvs but i have yet to mess mine up with burn in i am usually careful but one night i fell asleep and left it on with a dvd on and it eventually went back to the main menu and stayed there all night without movement on the screen and all i had to do was run my burn in protection feature the next morning and it was all gone and you couldnt tell a thing, you may have also herd that the life of a plasma isnt very long but in another form diabolos a person i concider to be very knowledgable explained that plasmas had a very long life span of around 20+ years i believe. im not saying to buy one im just saying if you see one in a store that looks good dont hesitate to concider buying it also im not saying that dlp lcd and crt are bad either my only problem with dlp is that you have to replace the bulb every couple of years otherwise i love them i cant say anything bad about crt either except for the screen being smaller than other types of tvs and the size and weight and the only disadvantage i see with lcd is that the colors arent as crisp as other tvs such as plasmas becuase i have read many reviews about lcd and plasma all of them said that plasma did have better picture once again im not saying buy plasma im just saying i dont think its near as bad as everyone keeps saying it is. i wish diabolos would get involved in this form and help me out with the facts on plasmas becuase i remember reading alot of information he wrote in one form but i cant find it again and cant remember them exactly but anyway thats just my opinion.....once again im not trying to say plasma is better or other types are worse im just saying plasma isnt as bad as everyone is saying

Well I think I'll agree that plasmas are much better than they used to be. People that bought them 5 years ago are pretty pissed cause the screen is already dieing. "Burn in protection" - Was it a plain white screen? If so that aint good for the screen either, shortens lifespan further. If plasmas had better lifespans and not to much risk of burn in than they would be my first choice aswell. For people that dont know PLASMA gets hot, hense the higher bun in risk.

Logik666 i am glad that you agree some what to my post about plasmas i will also agree that plasmas arent burn in proof and that they are probably the worst about burn in but as you said they arent as bad as they used to be and once again ill agree that they used to not be nearly as good as they are now i am also aware that when you run burn in protection it does shorten the lifespan, by how much i dont know but would it make a difference if it was a black, greyish and white pattern that runs across the tv

I'm pretty sure it's white and only white. What its doing is burning out the burn on the TV.

Ya i think pixel shift would be best to prevent burn-in in the first place, does it do that by itself or do you do that manually?

How about Sony KD-34XBR960 or KD34XBR970 ? ... the Samsung TXS3082W is a good tv however i read on different forums that is not that good for gaming . I read about the Samsung LN-S4041D and this tv has a gaming mode designed by Microsoft so when you play the colors and graphics and blacks are just fantastic even for Ps2 and xbox and of course hd gaming contrast ratio 4000:1 and response time is 8ms 2 hdmi imputs but the price is $1350. the reason i asked about the Sonys is because i read that the Tube kind of tv gives the best picture from an analog cable and that's what i have rigt now anyways (don't know when will get it , not any time soon ) i was even thinking about a Sony KD-36FS170 ( non hd tv )but is probably the best tube non hd on the market however i don't know how good this could be with the new xbox and later on the ps3 . I just want the best all aroun tv for ps2 ,xbox ,360 and ps3 lol or the most bang from my buck thanks for your help

I play my Xbox 360 on my Panasonic 50" plasma and it is amazing.
The great advantage of a plasma is the wide range of viewing.
You can sit anywhere in a room and the picture is still great.
Try that with a LCD or DLP TV and you'll be disapointed.

sd72667 wrong buddy. a plasma craps out from side to side angles... maybe you got the " newwer like plasmas" but plasms will still have that issue for a bit more . the best tv is always a crt tube based.
zippy255 as long as it a crt tube and its hd tv then its sweet. and crt tubes arent as expensive as crappy plasms.
Aroldo : that widescreen set is by far the BEST tv you will ever buy. widescreen is more lie " true " tv... see in widescreen thas how they make everyting. in fullscreen then strech out all 4 angles.. top bottom left and right....
bottom line that tv sounds frekint tight and it is hd right? sounds like a crt tube not sure....

If you are talking about the Samsung TXS3082W yeah it is a crt they call it slimfit from Samsung meaning slimmer tube i guess . The other is Samsung LN-S3251D and is a superb tv is an lcd flat panel the picture is amazing and the style of the tv is very slick but you now lcds are expensive and as far as the Sonys big tvs the picture on those are very good too i ust wonder how good the will be for video games and sports i want to enjoy the Fifa Wold Cup lol Thnks for the help (i am still looking)

Thanks for your help i am considering the big bulky tube tv's i don't have any issues with space plus imo they seem to be like the best all around tvs and they seem to last a long time i really like the Sony KD-34XBR970 $1100 and i saw a KD-34XBR960 at $1080

anoter tip . try to get things only from costco :P .... they have LIFETIME FULL CASH RETURN POLICY. on everything.. say you buy a crt tube ( if you find any ) you pay 1200 and you get bored of it in 3 years... return it no questions asked and you get your cash back . not store credit or exchange... cash ... its a warranty from them on their entire store . doesnt matter if you get bored of it or it breaks or w/e.... thats whre i got my 360 ... hehehe
KD-34XBR960 here is some specs

my next door nevoir bought a 60'' plasma... the best their is ... " soppsly" and insted of watching free hd on fox for sunday football , he comes over here and we watch it wayyy better here on my 38'' widescreen 16x9 HDTV 1080i rca F38310 .
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005BIB8/002-2012761-6348826?v...
and i paid way less then 3 gs when it first came out. i have not repaird anytying to it nor called for any repairs what so ever. because it never has had a problem. and what thats over 3 years of consisitent if not forever use. lol
yes i can say plasmas suffer from this problem , see crt tube was the best then ppl wanted space saving and they were making them and it was called sed but it was too early so they came up with plasmas/lcd ... bascily the sed tvs are crt tube quality but thiness of a plasma... bascily next gen ....
we will see that somehow this year or next... quatie expensive .... \
but whats your info of your tv???? i gave you mine... i know quite a bit of tech / eletornics... maybe you have the new like silicon based tv... , unless this is somhow new i think this is bs on what you say that you dont see drop quality on side angles..
but again let me see your info sd72667 . and remember i stated that most of the plasmas that are old do this... oviosly with time tech gets better.. so whats the model number of this tv... im dieing to look at it on my local store and if its this good i might even buy it for my room...

Your spelling has given me a headache, LOL. I own the
Panasonic TH-50PX50U plasma, which I bought 8-29-05 for $2800. You based your opinion about plasma's from one that you saw at your neighbors house? Did he have it properly calibrated? I researched
the different TV's for the last 3 years. Go to a Best Buy, Circuit City or any local Electronics store and compare the Plasma's, DLP's,
LCD's, and Rear Projections. You may think you know a lot, but go to this site, http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/index.php? and you will realize you have a lot to learn. Not every plasma is the same. Pioneer, Fujitsu, and Panasonic Plasma's are top of the line from what I have read. What brand is your neighbors?

youre right not every plasma is the same , excuse me for my misspelling. but one thing is for sure every and i mean mostly every plasma suffer from side to side angle quality ... it does not look like if you were in front of it .
and no i am not judging peice of crap just based on his but on the entire circuit city , best buy and any store i usualy see a plasma.
and trust me this isnt glare im seeing... however the newer tvs are getting this problem fixed... also the sed are the real " plasmas" that were soposed to come out after crt tube. sed are crt quality but plasma thiness , and thats just 1 problem of plasma , then you got life span and image burn ins.. and if things werent getting better IT IS ALOT MORE EXPENSIVE the the crt tubes... so overall its a pain buying a plasma because your sopose to have alot of precations to make sure it last a while... while a crt tube you got no worries
plus the reason why your tv doesnt look bad on angles " acording to you" its because its now based on the new tech i think they say its silicon based. its an 05 man... like i said as tvs get newer and so fourth its good...
but i wouldnt buy the current gen plasmas period ill just wait sed...... some plasmas are good but the good ones that dont suffer from 1 problem are expensive and you still have image burn ins and other sort of stuff ... too much of a hassle i'd just buy a crt tube.

CRT TV's also have burn in. The life span of a Plasma is no different than any CRT TV. I'm not here to "win you over" about Plasmas, just here to inform you none of your comments are valid. The only TV that is close to picture quality to my Plasma is the Sony ?SXRD? technology. My friend and I looked at the Sony ?SXRD? technology TV and Side viewing was still not good. CRT TV's are a thing of the past.

yes your right crt tube are a thing of the past and the next thing was well is going to be sed , plasmas were mearly a middle thing...
overall crt tube best > time > ??? ideal of sed , not enough tech> lower quality problems ?=plasma .... > time > now ???>SED
crt tube ----------------------------------------- sed
anyting else between is just goods and bads... agree?
same here not trying to win im just saying what flaws are and whats the best thing for your 360... my cousin made a mistake of buying a rear projection and i feel bad saying it looks like shit even plasmas are better .... bottom line sed is the next big thing meanwhile crt is still the best and plasma well its just for luxery..
