I was just now listening to Clark Howard on the radio, a financial expert, and was talking about this very subject.
He says that for the money, the LCDs are the better buy in the long run, though he has a friend that disagrees and says that Plasma cost will come down enough in the next three years to make it worth the money.
He also says that we should know that in a magazine that deals in consumer money spending or something reports that some high-cost name brand TVs are coming from companies that make the identical quality with a lesser cost, being that they just are not carrying the name brand. he said that in that magazine, there were two examples of TVs that compared the same TV with and without the name stamp...and the cost difference was doubled.
He said that in the past 90 days, LCD costs have dropped very well, and he estimates that they will be dropping more and more as the consumer demand grows. That is why I am waiting for a while before I buy mine.
One more thing...he said alot of people pay the extra cost to have HD ready or HD integrated...without even knowing what that means,,,and then they do not get the true HD quality because they do not have access to that type of incoming signal. There are TVs made that do not have the HD-ready mechanisms with it...and that is the type that I would buy, since I do not nor ever will have Digital Cable...unless they make it standard and the analog gets removed from consumer options. I just don't watch TV shows that needs the digital clarity. I want to watch my DVDs in digital clarity, however,,,and that is why I will buy a DVD player with the true digital hookup that I linked to earlier in this discussion...before I buy my Digital TV.
