Plasma vs. LCD

[saden1]

Plasma TVs have more vibrant colors and sharpness. They also don't suffer from flickering issues (annoying on older models). If that's not an issue for you go with LCD otherwise definitely go with Plasma.

As for Philips, I can't attest to their quality but I can for Panasonic. Their quality is top notch and you really do get a great bang for your buck.

I thought that was the whole appeal of LCD is that they dont flicker, such as with LCD computer screens, they dont flicker so they are better for your eyes

I don't know about new LCDs but old LCDs had piss poor refresh rates (~30 hertz) and the higher the resolution the more noticeable it was. They also suffer from trailing artifacts when things are moving quickly.

Yeah that used to be the main issue with LCDs, I don't think it's as much of an issue anymore and it's only improving with the newer models.
