I am currently looking to graduate and join the Plasma / LCD club with a HT System. One of the questions I have been asking around to decide between Plasma & LCD is, which is more 'fragile' while moving.
I have been doing a bit of research on the web as well as have been talking to sales people in E-Zone & Reliance Digital. In fact when I was in the US, I also asked these questions to guys in a couple of Best Buys. Consistently the feedback from ALL PLACES has been that, given a choice, if one is thinking of 'relocating' / 'moving', LCD is a better bet than plasmas. Of course one can argue otherwise and may be for good reasons too.
Do I know anyone who recently 'moved' / 'relocated' with his new SAMSUNG Plasma? Answer is 'yes'. So, it is not like 'no-no' to Plasma if moving, but very very strong recomendations ALL OVER are in favor of LCDs; if moving is a factor. Surely we may get a few responses here stating that, "I know y number of people who have moved z number of times with a Plasma and guess what, no issues. So it is incorrect assumptions". Perfectly understandable and also understand that during moving, an LCD or a CRT could be at just as much of a risk.
However, mentioning this finding here, so that those thinking about Plasma as an option may want to consider this point too (moving / relocating), IF applicable, and do some research on this prior to making the final decision. If you do, please post your findings here so others can also benefit.
