[dba-Tech] [dba-OT] LCD vs Plasma

I looked at some today.  Damned if I can tell any more than the slightest
difference among them.  Of course, I was only looking at the good ones. :)
But one useful thing:  I was after 46".  Now I'm thinking 52-55.  

OK Fry's here we come.

Also had to call the cable company.  No point getting the HD TV without HD
cable signal.  They'll give me a converter box.  Swell  Another piece of
hardware - another outlet.

P.S. Saw some LED panels.  They looked pretty sharp.  LG 47" 240Hz - $1500.
55" - $2000

Rocky,

Frys has lots of em!  There are 6 46" Samsungs on the first page.

That's where I got my 52" Samsung.

Some of the differences are the contrast ratio (shiny has higher ratio),
number of HDMI ports, etc.

It looks like 46" is my sweet spot. So now I'm looking for vendors.  Frys
doesn't carry either. Best Buy is the only place local that I know of with a
good web site.  Sony has 3 and Samsung 2 46" models - 1080p/120Hz.   With a
spread of about $300 from low to high ($1200-$1500).  So now I have to
figure out what's the difference.
