Pretty much everyone with a TV less then 1080p is going to say you can not see a difference. Get a 1080p period. If you can afford it, get it. Taijiquan

Actually you are wrong. the screen resolution is towards the end of the list on what is most important in a TV. Most people really can't tell the difference between the two, probably including you. What they do see, however, is the increased contrast ratio, brightness, and refresh rate that probably come with that higher end model. I'm not saying that more expensive TVs are the same as cheaper ones, but it is foolish to base a decision on a TV off a resolution that you will only actually use when watching Blu ray disks.

hey this is one of the only threads i could find on this subject, my question is 42" 750p Plasma tv vs 42" 1080p LCD. ive heard that plasmas sometimes get "burn in" but ive met people who have had their plasma tvs for a long time with no problems. so my question is really almost plasma vs lcd... can anyone give me some good info?

Edit: Also the plasma has a "gaming mode" not sure if its 120 ghz, but the lcd does not have a gaming mode and it is 60ghz.

Hey,

I also am in the market for buying a new TV as I just got the money to afford one. At my parents house they have a both a plasma and an LCD. I have played my 360 and now my ps3 on the plasma more often because I personally love plasmas over LCDs. Plasmas are usually 600hz compared to 60hz and have a refresh rate of around 2 ms compared to 5 ms for LCDs. Burn in is no longer an issue, but it would be best to not game for the first 100 hours of the TVs life just to make sure as this is when the TV is most vulnerable. Again though, I have logged thousands of hours on a plasma playing games and have never experienced an issue.

When doing research for my TV for my new place, I came to a few conclusions. The first is that plasma would be better for me. Although they got the bad rap in the beginning about having burn in issues, they are in my opinion superior for gaming. The response time is a lot quicker, and since when I am not playing video games I am watching sports, motion blur would be a huge issue. Most LCDs, including 120hz tvs have some motion blur. If this would be an issue for you steer clear of LCDs. If not, or you don't notice it on certain TVs then go for it. Secondly, I would not jump for 1080p unless money is not an issue. Buying 1080p is only an investment for the future, as it is suported in only a small fraction of the content you will be watching. Most video games will upconvert, as will your HD cable or satellite. The only true source of 1080p usually is blu ray. Obviously you will probably watch a few if you have a ps3, but even then the difference is minimal at this size (I am an electronics freak and have an eye for this stuff, and so do the people at cnet if you want a second opinion.)

Bottom line, it is up to you. Most people who game like LCDs, but I prefer plasma. Consider motion blur, and make sure you study the TVs in the store. While the TVs are adjusted for the harsh lighting of the store and not the room your TV is going to end up in, ultimately it is up to your eye to decide which you like best.

he isn't worth the dog crap of the dogs he had fighting at his house. if i ever saw him in person i would spit in his face.

The game was so bad I sold my 360 to buy a PS3 so I could have The Show and NEVER buy a 2k game again. Honestly, after I played the game once I thought it was a huge joke somebody was playing on me. Games where 20-18 scores were common, fielders dropping catches on routine fly balls, fielders overthrowing players, fielders running through walls, players looking even more unrealistic than they did last year, all of these things were a sad reality for me and any other person tricked into buying this game. There are several more BIG issues that I had with this game, but I will start throwing things out my window if I continue. This game deserves the 4.5 it got on this site, and I would have rated it even lower. I love The Show and will never regret selling my 360 all because of this pathetic excuse of a game and waste of $60.

Anyone know if this is going to be made available everywhere? I know it's not much but I have gamestop credit and I will take that over nothing, even though I washopingfor a price drop.

To get the 20% extra for 4 games only works for store credit. Ebay or Craigslist will get you 2 or 3 times as much cash.

Find one more game to sell and you will get an extra 20% store credit for a total of maybe $90. Without a third game you will get $20 for madden $20 for NCAA and probably $15 for CoD4. Cash you would be lucky to get $30 total. The 20% extra credit goes until April 5th.
