Hi I need the help of you gurus to decide this one.
I was about to get a 32" LG (32LG80FR) when I came across a 42" Panasonic Plasma (Panasonic-TH-P42C10D) at around the same price point.
So now I am confused about whether to go in for LCD or Plasma of bigger size.
The plasma is tempting because of the price and obviously real screen estate. Does anyone have any experience with this particular model?
My main use will be for watching DVD movies(upscaled) and DivX, though I will eventually upgrade to BluRay once it becomes as mainstream as DVD. Normal TV watching will be through ordinary cable. Also I will want to hook it up to a PC now and again for some intense gaming and also for surfing the net. (Mainly the TV should serve as a monitor as well).
So I need your valuable advice and suggestions on which model to go for...
Madbullram and others have constantly reiterated that the benefits of Full HD become apparent at 42". Am I going to be missing out much on a 42" HD Ready TV?
Thanks in advance.
PS: I have also heard about the 2009 Panasonic Plasma, that they become noticeably dimmer within one year. Is this particular model a part of the 2009 lineup?
