Hi Chow.

I dunno sheitz about TV tech, but I know one thing fore sure, dont get a crappy one if u gonna play alot. Put money in it or u will only be sorry after.

I got a 42 lcd " Phillips "dunno" hrz, its only 2 years old and should be ok but the lack of brightness, sharpness and slow speed of screen update pisses me of.
This is a major problem whilst flying and looking around since the screen update is laggish and blures out. I am constantly trying to optimize its performance.

allo chow ,i have a samsung 6 series lcd,best picture iv seen,but all the fancy crap is off since i calibrated it, you cant go wrong with sony or panasonic aswell ,sony use samsung screens but different engine ,ur best having a look and deciding which manufacture you like ,they have slightly different feel to them.
i was put off of getting a plasma(low life,screen burn)but they have improved so worth considering
go look at the av forum,it helped me. whatever you get dont forget to calibrate it

Personally I would staty away from a Plasma, they are expensive to fix if they go out, and the bad thing about plasma is they get a screen burn really (images staying on screen) easy if you leave a game on pause. I have a LCD and you can get one of these now a lot cheaper than they were a year ago.
