Have 47" Samsung LCD in living room with the surround sound and love it....also have 32 inch Vizio in bedroom...equally as good picture

Go LCD....better viewing angles from whereever you're sitting.

CMD noooo:)...Plasma offers better viewing angles...LCD will "wash out" while viewing from the sides and viewing vertically...but!! Technology is getting better and viewing angles of LCDS is better.

tell u what i got a 50" vizio plasma and paid $1300 bucks for it. i think they are even less than that now. think they go for like $1100 at sam's. def best bang for your buck! people say bad things about plasmas. i been having mine for almost 2 years now and havent had a prob.

Go to http://www.tigerdirect.com then go to the TV's section. They have some good deals sometimes. I order all my computer parts from them. They're a pretty good company. Just keep checking the site sometimes they'll be running discounts or they'll be doing free shipping.

would LCD be better for gaming than a plasma?

this site seems to link together good reviews and deals

i also play ps3 a lot! i play ncaa 10' on my ps3 just about everyday right now, and before that i was playing call of duty 4 a whole lot. i have never had any problems with my plasma. now it wouldnt be smart to like pause your game and leave it on the screen for a long time, at least just turn tv off.

just got the sale paper in the mail from Walmart ,Vizio 42" for 797.00 that includes sound bar HDMI cable and tilt mounting kit, Sony 40" 798.00.

Thats an awesome deal........i would jump all over that if I was looking for one!!

After doing a lot of research we decided to go with Vizio rather than one of the typical name brands. Also side by side viewing comparison helped clinch the deal. It's a great TV, quality picture & sound at a reasonable price. With what it cost to go to the movies now days it has been worth the cost of the flat screen TV to have a quality movie viewing experience at home. We have been so impressed with this TV that we ended up purchasing a 37" Vizio for the bedroom. While originally looking at flat screen TVs we weren't sure if we wanted to go with plasma or LCD. The plasma TVs have a shiny screen; so there would be reflections from every window & light source reflecting off the shiny plasma screen. I was a bit apprehensive about the matt screen of the LCD. Yes you get deeper blacks with plasma, but in the end we made the right choice going with the LCD since we didn't want to contend with reflections bouncing off the screen. Vizio makes a nice quality product at a good price.

I'm looking at the 50" Samsung Plasma for $1099 on amazon, vizio's comparable model retails at $1050 or so, I guess they are cheaper in the store.

I do like the look of plasma but will have to do some more shopping around.
