flat panel tv question which to buy?

peoriaguy101 asked:


I’m going to be purchasing a flat screen TV this week and need some opinions. I have my search narrowed down to 2 TV’s.
Philips 50″ Plasma HDTV (50PFP5332D/37)
720p (1366 x 768) resolution
• NTSC/ATSC/QAM tuners
• Widescreen (16:9) aspect ratio
• 10,000:1 contrast ratio
• 2 HDMI inputs
• Virtual Dolby® Surround
Or
Polaroid 46″ LCD HDTV (4641-TLXB)
• 1080p (1920 x 1080) resolution
• NTSC/ATSC tuners
• Widescreen (16:9)
• 1000:1 contrast ratio
• 2 HDMI inputs
• Universal remote control

Which will display a better picture? I will be using the TV for gaming mostly but also watch a lot of hd dvd’s. The plasma has a much better contrast ratio but its 720p compared to 1080p on the LCD. The price is about the same for both 1,497 for the Phillips & 1,398 for the Polaroid. I’m not sure what the refresh rate on either is though, I couldn’t find it on the net. Any input would be greatly appreciated

Why does my plasma tv have bad distortion on it?

I just bought a 42″ Magnavox plasma tv. It looked awesome when I bought it and a few days later it got a distortion to the screen. Kind of like an interference. But it’s there no matter what input it’s on. Even on the tuner. Any answers?
