John_Locke · 01-21-2007, 04:38 PM

suprised the whole family.

our Big Projection screen bit the dust, and I brought the 27 inch to the living room and told the family that they woudl have to be satisfied with this for now becasue there jsut wasn't money in the budget for a new TV.

They handled it like troopers and I went to the tv store and got a 50 inch plasma

betting I don't get "aftershave" for valentines day

Dad got hosed

Science update. Any compressed gas will find its way out in order to find its most stable environment, No matter what they do, the gas in those TVs will still find its way out.

News flash, after 2000 hours the brightness on a plasma display will begin to lose it's brightness at a very high rate, and you wont' get any warranty replacement unless 10% of your pixels are shot.

LCDs lose brightness, too.

**Buck** · 01-21-2007, 05:12 PM

Front projection is the way to go, if you can find a nice screen.

And it's a hell of a lot cheaper to replace an LCD backlight than it is fixing plasma gas leakage + a backlight.

LCD >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Plasma.

In 10 years, most people will probably be using SED TVs over most formats anyway...it offers you the color richness and response times of CRTs with the form factor of LCDs
