Which tv to buy?
 
We would like to buy a 42 inches TV in Canada(Alberta) but confused whether to buy a LCD or Plasma.Only problem with plasma is it's reflective screen.I would like to seek yr opinion abt which type of TV to buy,LCD or Plasma and which brand is worth considering.We won't be using it for gaming or pc.It will be used only for TV and Cable viewing.

I would like to get the opinion of members here.I have looked into many tv sites but want to know abt people's opinion in this site.

There's not a lot of difference these days. Pop down to your local Future Shop, see what they've got on special offer, then try and haggle them down a bit further (look up the best prices on the internet to help). There are only a few companies that actually manufacture the screens, and they're all perfectly competent. Probably the most important factor right now is to find one that will blend in well with the rest of your furniture.

Will you have it in a bright room, or dull room? If a bright room then get an LCD.

lol :rofl:

Most tvs are flat black / chrome and big!!!!! Take your pick like Bazzz says, most do what they say on the tin, we got LCD due to using it as a pc screen too if not I think we would've got plasma cos they were slightly cheaper and no other reason!
