Well,one of my favorite sayings is "compared to what". Plasma,compared to the same $$in an overhead projector,I think not. However this is only based on 'everything 'I read, and two demos in stores that have both on display. I would say once in a while,let the wife choose;unless she too wants the best for the money. I say, if you can, take the wife out and give a look together .Things like this help marriages to have hidden dividends.
Flat Plasma: Worth the W.A.F. Premium?
Having just completed all of my homework to purchase a 34" direct view 16:9 HD TV, my girlfriend has declared that the flat plasma screen is the only thing she really wants in the bedroom. My first impression is that a) flat plasmas are way overpriced and b) the picture isn't really that great. Please correct me where I am wrong. Maybe the pictures are quite good? Especially as we are replacing a 13 year old NEC TV? Also, if I do succumb to her flat panel wishes, is there any consensus regarding the best value in the < $25,000 flat plasma screens? Thank you very much.
