Re: Does anyone play Madden on a plasma?

Plasma hands down is the best type of tv's for anything.

I have 5 hdtv's

I have 2 plasma's and 3 LCD's

I have the Panasonic Viera THX 50 inch plasma which is a great tv but not my favorite for gaming

I have 3 Samsung HDTV LCD's and they look great for gaming but suffer from input lag....Google it if you dont know what that is.

People will tell you that they dont see input lag but is there...

Unless you play in game mode which takes away your ability to edit the picture settings and has to much sharpness which leads to jaggies

1 of my lcd from samsung is the touch of color which is great

but it suffers from input lag worst then the other lcd's

My favorite hdtv that i have is my baby....The Elite Kuro 50 inch

best tv in the market hands down and it cost a pretty penny but gaming with no input lag and color and picture accuracy is beyond real

I game for long hours...in call of duty and madden and ncaa and all types of games and no burn in...that is a a thing of the past

Well this tv is going in my bedroom, I need a 42 or 46".

Right now I'm leaning towards the LED 46"

I forgot to add, if you decide to go lcd, stick with Samsung. They're the best at lcd's.

I bought a nice lcd around this time last year but it's not full HD it's only 1080i but it was good for the mean time, no problems with it at all.

Anyway, If you can help me out. Is a Sony 40" Bravia Flat LCD 1080P HDTV a good buy?

Plasma often has better picture quality, LCD are good but to get an LCD at a similar picture quality to plasma you typically have to spend much more money than you would if you bought the plasma in the first place.

As others have mentioned LCD may be better if you are in a very bright environment, but plasma usually has better picture quality. LCD also has a limited viewing angle.

Best case scenario for a current LCD is a picture quality that is as good as the best plasmas but only if you are viewing directly head on, and even then the top LCD will cost more than the plasma.

I play on a 25" Magnavox. It's basically enhanced definition, I think, because I am able to utilize the HD wires on the console to produce a better picture than standard definition, but it's certainly not high definition. It's good enough for me, though, and it was only like $100!

Most of the time you're better off with the samsung. The one Sony that's supposed to be clearly better than any of the current samsungs is the XBR8, which costs like 7k or so I believe. Like I said in my last post, that TV is supposed to be about the same picture quality as the Pioneer Elite, but again only if you view it directly head on. Move to an angle and the Pioneer is better. If you're set on LCD then Samsung may be better value for a similar or sometimes better picture.

In the end reviews don't matter with TVs, just go and look at both and see what you prefer. Just be aware that showrooms have TVs at settings that you would likely never use at home

I also play on a Plasma. Got a Pioneer Kuro 5080HD. Had it for about 2 years and have never had a noticeable pixel of burn in ever. The anti burn in features are top notch on this one and the picture is phenomenal.
