Here's my story:
I bought a 42" Toshiba LCD HDTV back in the summer. But they had to special order it. So in the meantime they game me a Panasonic plasma and it think it was around 40". But i didnt like it because compared to my parents 1080p LCD the picture was not very sharp or as clear as it could have been. Now maybe the models was only 720p or just a bad model im not sure. But anyways I loved everything about The Toshiba TV after i got it excpet for its horrid viewing angles and black levels. So im going to sell that TV within the month.
So im starting to look for a replacement ($1,000-$1,500) and i was looking at LCD's because that's what I'm quite knowledgeable in. (at least now after having bought the Toshiba). And i was looking for a good LCD with amazing black levels and viewing angles in dark settings, and there really aren't any unless your want to pay an arm and a leg for an LED backlit LCD.
So then i thought about plasmas. But im a little skeptical after my run in with the panasonic plasma earlier and the issue with burn in.
So my question is, Are they any plasmas that would suit my needs and concerns? Below is the list of requirements and concerns.
1. Great Black Levels in dark room
2. 1080p
3. 42" 40" Possibly even 37"
4. No Burn In (I tend to accidentally leave my TV on for a couple hours sometimes)
5. Sharpness look compared to LCD's that i explained earlier
Thanks a ton!
