What was his name btw?

I've not seen him post since.

Just So you have Some Idea

Contrast Ratio - 5000-1 Means 5000 Different Shades Of One Color Going Accros The Screen To Make Up The Picture In Its Best Definition........ On Average For A 1080p Screen You Will See Most Are Around 5000 to 12000

Pixel Resolution - 1080i Itigrated + 1080p Progressive - The Best One To Go For Would Be The Progressive.

The Integrated Just Means That The Pixels Move In A Ratio Of Across One Pixel + Down By One Pixel + This Will Take more Time For The Picture To Evolve Properly.

The Progressive Is Basically Opposite, Starting From One Corner The Ration Moves Across The Screen In A Constant Rate Down The Scren In A Constant Rate + Also Diagonally Down The Screen Producing The Image Faster, While Also Making The Picture Sharper + Brighter.

These are The Two Main Things To Look For, 1080p + A High Contrast Ratio

I Hope This Helps Seth

All The Best, Karlos

Viewing Angle Up to 160° Up to 175° LCD TVs have the advantage here, but by a small margin. Your viewing experience is not going to be ideal at 160 or 175 degree angles. LCD TVs used to have a problem in this area, primarily because LCDs were originally used as single person computer monitors.

VIEWING ANGLES

Plasma manufacturers have made much of their 160° viewing angles, which is about as good as horizontal and vertical viewing angles get. This owes to the fact that each pixel produces its own light, rather than light being spread across the screen from one central source. Hence, each pixel is more readily visible because its brightness is consistent with every other pixel on the screen. One consistent area of superiority of plasma viewing angles is demonstrated when viewing dark material content, especially DVDs. A Plasma display holds the black levels from off axis, while LCD TVs lose black level intensity more as the angle off axis increases. This usually occurs after around 90 degrees.

LCD TV manufacturers have done much to improve their displays' viewing angles. The substrate material on newer-generation LCD models by Sharp and Sony has helped to expand those units' viewing angles, though they still have some ground to cover before catching plasma. Expect the best LCD HDTVs to have between 120 and 130 degree viewing angles.

ADVANTAGE: Plasma

Plasma vs LCD: Viewing-angle

We continue our discussion on plasma vs LCD technology by looking at how picture quality behaves with a change in viewing angle.

The viewing angle represents how far one can sit on either side of the screen away from the center, without experiencing significant deterioration in picture quality – mainly because of color shifts and reduced contrast.

Plasma televisions typically have a better viewing angle than LCD TVs. Plasma televisions holds the black levels from off-axis, while LCDs lose black level intensity more as the off-axis angle increases. This usually occurs at around 100 degrees, i.e. at some 50 degrees on either side of a line drawn normal to the center of the screen.

The main reason for this difference between these two technologies arise out of the fact that each pixel in a plasma display panel produces its own light, rather than light being spread across the screen from one central backlight source. Hence, each pixel is more readily visible because its brightness is consistent with every other pixel on the screen.

Manufacturers have either already stopped or are moving to stop plasma production, thats good enough reason for me not to buy one.
