LED vs Plasma, 60" vs 65"

60in panasonic plasma still going strong after 5yrs here. My other 46 plasma over 1 yr hassle free aswell. Best pic, viewing angle and motion is plasma, its just that simple.

Bullsh--, pure bullsh--.

100 hrs sure, that foolish statement of 90 days straight is crazy. There is alot of daylight between 100hrs and over 2000hrs for calibration. Calibration is of questionable value IMO. You can get a disc and trust your eyes to tell you what looks good, if anyone even mildly critical of video quality cant even trust their own eyes to say a pleasing image has been acheived then god help us.

" My 70" Pioneer/Sharp Elite TV has darker blacks than any plasma I've seen"
 That sounds like your opinion.
I did do a search and first clip was of it being sold on QVC, they thought it was great but they talk the same way about a Dolly Parton collectable plate.
I saw another clip boasting how it "emulates" Plasma, so apparently its the Rich Little of monitors.

So now we are saying get LED cause its "almost as good"? Buy this car, its "almost" as safe. Buy this house its in "almost" good neighborhood. Hey order this heart valve, its "almost" as good. A technology is either best or playing catch up, Plasma is king.

Cant get around some reflective issues with plasma but its worth the trade off for all thats better about image and motion.

Yes we all know how trustworthy blind tests are, and who wouldnt be convinced by a youtube video from a owner of monitor up for review, no chance for opinion there, thats crazy talk! I suppose your monitor somehow also magically overcame the universally known artificial less film like picture every LCD made has suffered from? LCD is closing the gap but you cant honestly ignore there is still a gap. Glare is a fault of the room, not a monitor.

The entire body of specs (as is important to you and I) is to be considered if you desire the best possible option. If indeed there are models of LCD where black levels are now besting Plasma its new news, great but as noted what about motion? What about angles? What about natural film like image? Its still a Plasma world and it seems most who take video serious understand that fact. Again glare isnt a issue of the monitor, its the issue of the room its placed in, that and a tree huggers dream of power consumption are the only slight apparent drawbacks to Plasma. I own Plasma, LCD, HD CRT and LcOS technology so I embrace all, but I understand what best is too.
