In Reply to: RE: Thinking of getting a Plasma TV posted by Ross on October 03, 2009 at 13:19:26
I have a 4 year old toshiba 720p plasma set--no complaints about the picture quality, reliability, or features. Two issues to be aware of if you get a plasma set: The screen is highly reflective, so consider whether your placement of the set will result in lots of reflections on the screen (I run mine in a pretty dark room).
Also, plasma sets give off a LOT of heat. If your viewing room has good ventilation (or air conditioning in the summer), this won't be an issue for you. And they are HEAVY (my 42" set weighs over 100 lb).
Plasma sets have traditionally had blacker blacks and thus more shadow detail than LCD's--don't know if this is still this case. They don't blur when the picture has swift movement (which some LCD's do). They have a wider viewing angle than LCD's.
Follow Ups:
I have a Philips 42" plasma and it does not run hot. I feel nothing from the screen and some warmth at the back of the set. It must not be a universal problem.

It must be "a universal problem". A 50" Panasonic consumes about 435 watts. The vast majority of that is dissipated a heat. An LCD TV consumes around half that of a plasma.
I haven't touched ever model, but this has been described by consumer publications as a characteristic of plasma sets. YMMV.
But only for people who constantly move their displays or obsess over such irrelevant details, both of which are personal problems. Once it's on the wall or on a stand, weight ceases to be an issue.
