Buy LED, LCD or Plasma


Going for a new TV. Any hints, warnings or advice? It will go over the fireplace instead of the rug there now.

Wonder what performance differences there are between Panasonic TC-65V10, TU 65PZ850U and TC-P65S1? Anyone know?

All of these are all 65" but with a big price spread and reviews don't cover the details.
Albert- have you tried avsforum.com for some input on those specific model #s. BTW, no question to my eyes that plasma beats LCD. No question at all. I've never seen LED.
On Audio Circle a guy named Joshk tells of anchoring his 58 inch panny plasma into bricks above his fireplace. The whole mess crashed and was destroyed.

He's selling a large, high dollar swivel mount at a big discount if you are interested.

By the way, the V-10 is the same display as the G-10. Only differences involve cinema playback and calibration versatility. I bought G-10 because I don't value those things enough to justify the $800 difference. I must be losing my anality as I age.
Here's some comments on some of them:

IMHO the extra price doesn't pay for enough improvement, especially at the distance you'll be viewing from, but perhaps to a photographers eye it might be different.
Let me add a little more here.A lot of the upper end sets may produce better pictures on standard def pictures too.A lot of what we watch is still in standard def.Standard def looks bad on a high def set I imagine because they're engineered around hi def.I don't even know if older made for TV shows are capable of being displayed in true hi def.When I shop for one,I look at what the set will do for making standard def look better. Hopefully you could check this out in the store.One BB doesn't have any source in my area for st def,but the others do pickup the local channels which always has something showing in standard def to compare them.Hope this helps some.
