I'm not in the market for something this big (32-37 is as big as our living room will allow) but this seemed pretty cheap.

I heard plasma tvs are the worse to buy. They don't last as long as lcd and are very expensive to fix.

Actually plasma's have a great picture and tend to look better than LCD's for things like sports, etc. The life of a plasma is a question - however, I think depending on what you are using the TV for it just depends.

 

We have an LCD and a plasma and I love both - however I think our plasma has a better picture sometimes with the sports we watch.

 

Plasma's need to be transported upright so if you plan on moving around a lot then a plasma probably isn't the TV for you. Otherwise don't discount the TV. You can often find a better deal on a plasma and they are a great tv!!

I luuuurve my plasma. i did a lot of research before buying.. I dont regret it one bit :)

 

and btw if you are in the market fo ra 42" plasma, amazon has a great price on a highly rated samsung. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-PN42A450-42-Inch-720p-Plasma/dp/B0015AR7AK/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1226199822&sr=8-1

 

ETA this is a 720p, but if you do your homework you dont really *need* a 1080p unless you plan on standing a foot in front of it.. your eyes cant tell the difference from across a room.
