    LCD vs Plasma

    This is probably a worn out topic but I can really use some advice.
    We live in an apt in NY and want to put in a small HT system is a room that is 14x8. We would have a couch on one end and want to mount a flat panel TV on th opposite wall. LCD or Plasma is the only question.
    The LCD we are looking at is a 37" Sharp Acqos but it seems a little small to be viewed from approx 12.5 feet away (our estimate of actual viewing distance). The next size LCD is way more expensive and has some risidual issues (so the salesman says). We could easily get a 42" plasma but are afraid of the burn in issue since we have a 8 year old daughter.
    Is this problem oveblown?
    I believe the picture and color is better on the plasma. Is there anyway to protect from burn in?

        Sony KD-34XS955 vs Plasma/LCD
        by Mukaudio
        I discovered that my Sony Outlet (thanks to a 40% off sale) is getting rid of their Sony KD-34XS955 (34" CRT) models for only $540.

        I was going to sit out the HD race until SED came online, but this seems like a pretty sweet deal. Anybody have an idea how much I would have to spend...

        Plasma and burn in
        by HibbardSmith
        I'm a new plasma owner (Samsung HPN-5039). I keep hearing and reading stuff about burn in. However, a lot of DVD movies and even HD Television is transmitted in aspect ratios well above 16 x 9 which results in dark bands at top and bottom (letterbox) or in 4 x 3 which results in dark bands at the sides...

        For anyone who has looked for a plasma/LCD stand that has a shelf right below with a large enough footprint and weight capacity for HTM3S or HTM2D, have a look at the VTI AGR44 stand.

        I spent several hours online trying to find just such a stand (this is the only one I found that can...

        by Mitchell
        I just came back from looking at tvs at J&R Music in NYC. I was looking for at the Sharp 37 and 42" LCD which are pricey and the salesman suggested looking at plasmas. He said that the Plasma Burn-in issue was largely solved using tech. nology that rotated pixels, put grey bars on the sides...
