We just bought our second Panasonic plasma. A C-42" for our bedroom. Our other one is a G-54" in our living room. We TRIED to buy and use LCD in our living room and in our bedroom. The end result was we sent Sony, LG, and Vizio LCDs packing and bought outstanding plasma tvs for the two rooms we spend most of our time in.

We've come to the realization that we are plasma people.

This. I read that they would go thirty years at 8 hours a day before they lose half.

We have a Panasonic plasma as well. Fantastic TV with absolutely no issues.

Well, he didn't call me back tonight on if he wanted the plasma so he missed out on the deal. Oh well.

Guess I have to keep looking.

What on Earth were they doing to scratch your tv screen?

Hell if I know. It happened while I was gone. I do know it had to be my 2 year old based on where the scratches are. This is one time I really do wish all TVs still had glass screens though.

I've had a DLP for 5 years and have yet to change a bulb.

doesn't matter. He needs the TV to be wall mountable so DLP is out.

The bad things about Plasmas are the energy they use and the fact that they heat up.
I'd be very wary of buying any Panasonic plasma right now. Their 2009 line of plasmas would have their black level halve itself after about 500 hours of usage. Without a significant adjustment in QC, caveat emptor.

I have a 42" Hitachi plasma in our bedroom and I'm very happy with it.

Just depends on personal preference. I happen to think plasma provides a better picture. I bought a Samsung plasma 2 yrs ago and havent regretted it for a second.
