Buying a new telly after Xmas, just don’t know what to get… Will use it for tv and movies mainly, not computer. Perhaps gaming console in the future.

from my understanding the LCD or liquid crystal display is a lot cheaper than plasma…don’t know why though :D
Well, what to get depends on a lot of factors.
If your buying smaller than 32”, LCD is your only option. Any larger than 46”, and Plasma is really your only choice. In between however, you have a big choice to make.
A big factor to look at is light. Are you in a very well lit room? Plasma TVs reflect light like a regular tube TV, so if you are in a bright room, LCDs are the way to go.
Another thing to look at is quality. Plasmas look the best and have very little motion blur, but high-end LCDs with refresh rates at 120+htz look just as good.
Consumer Reports did an excellent article on this, I’d link it for you but my miracle-phone doesn’t do that.
I wish I could lurve you more for that, aanuszek1!
