Re: Plasma or LCD?
Congrats on the purchase. Like previously mentioned, make sure you lower the contrast (50-60). Assuming you use your tv approx. 4 hrs a day, your "break in period" is about a month. Also, make sure what you're watching/gaming takes up the entire screen. Lastly, and pretty much common sense-- don't leave a static image on the screen for hours on end.
PS- - Don't get alarmed by a little image retention. It goes away within seconds to a few minutes. That's common on a new plasma.
Thanks for all the advice and info in this thread.
I wound up going to P.C. Richard and picking up the Panasonic TCP50-G25.
He would have given me a '58 inch for practically the same price, but I measured everything out with the entertainment center and 50 was really the largest it could accommodate.
Anyway....it's a nice 1080p Plasma with the built in apps for Netflix and such(which is a homerun, since I wanted to hook a PC up to it anyway for Netflix...although I have conflicting info on whether the Netflix app made it in for the set. I haven't set it up yet obviously
)
I got the monitor and a 2 year warranty for $799.(I get the warranty, since basically it's a third of the price for us and this particular P.C. Richards always takes out things back for repair pretty much no questions asked. We buy a LOT of things from this place....and they are very good to us....so it's kind of a courtesy)
Pretty good deal IMO.

I'm finally home to my LG. Charging the 3D Glasses for the first time, getting ready to delve into some 3D watching. Wife hasn't watched it without me... She's too good, haha.
