A Plasma or LCD?

LCD's are better, they last way longer.

Plasma:Pros-Makes you look rich...thats about it

Plasma:Cons:Breaks if you place it face down-cant see anything when light is hitting screen-doesnt last very long(bout a year or two before it burns out)

LCD:Pros-Crisp picture-picture doesnt get blured out when light hits-Durable, and other things.

LCD:Cons-Might geta couple of dead pixels(as with everyother LCD/plasma), cant think of anything else.

one thing i also forgot to ask that for me what resolution would be better. 720p or 1080p. and is there a 26 inch 1080p LCD tv under one grand?Mcgnnis1

1080p is better than 720p for obvious reasons. And no I don't think there are.. it's very hard to get 1080p resolution TVs under around 36 inches. Anyways if you want a small TV, buy a 720p TV, you can't see the difference when the TV's that small.

Well i know that LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display but i don't know the difference between how the two types work.

Ask a bunch of people what LCD stands for and laugh at how many can't tell youParasiteDemon

I love my dad's Plasma. Don't listen to these ignorant fools, Plasma technology has advanced beyond the "doesn't last as long, screen burns in way to easily" etc.

Plasma's have darker, more detailed blacks than LCDs. Also a Plasma that has a glass screen is way better than a silk screen LCD, in which you get "silk screen effect" and other bad effects.

Now saying all that, I also like my cheap Vizio VX32L LCD tv .... :)

No, LCDs are better. You only think Plasmas are better because you have one. Its that simple. The argument is redundant anyway since the technology on both fronts advances so rapidly. OLED TVs will end up taking the quality crown in a couple years anyhow.

"LCDs are better" is so objective. It depends on which brands we're talking about, at what pricepoint, how big, etc. I just felt the need to say something for plasma's with people being so misinformed. Here's an article about Plasma versus LCD if you want to read more about it.

In this guys case I'd say an LCD is the best bet, since he wants such a small screen size. Vizio at that size are the best deal I've found, but that was a couple months back as I haven't checked
