I've owned two LCD HDTVs, an ancient but good viewing Syntax Olevia 27 inch, and a 46 inch Sharp which was burgled before I really got to enjoy it. On both the HDTV viewing experience was fabulous to my non-technical perspective, while standard def shows had bigger images and better colors, but no drop in quality. <br /> <br />I was about to buy another LCD but was lured to this Samsung plasma by a great price and deal at Amazon... thinking if it gets lifted like the last one, my out of pocket loss is reduced. And I'm surprised by my disappointment. I'm 30 miles north of Albany, NY, a Direct TV subscriber, so lots of standard def channels and relatively few HD channels. The regular def shows, especially on a light background, have a fuzziness or halo effect around the edges of images, such as a person's face, that is really distracting. Switch it out for my venerable Olevia attached to the same HD Direct Tivo, and the problems go away. <br /> <br />I was also concerned about the elaborate instructions in the (excellent) manual on how to avoid burn-in. Other reviewers say this is less a problem with newer plasmas, but why should I even have to worry about it? Also, the screen when it is turned off is not a dramatic dark black like my LCDs but rather a dull grey, like an old tube TV. <br /> <br />I'm not so unhappy as to send it back, but certainly would not buy this same model again. And probably would think twice before buying another plasma from any manufacturer.

I love the picture and the price but I don't love what it's doing to my power bills. For me this television amounts to a 1 -2kw hr/ per day increase in power consumption and at the end of the month to me that's significant amount. If it wasn't already on the wall I'd exchange it for a more expensive LCD model. LCD televisions are also lighter which can be important when it comes to handling and mounting. the price looks good on these televisions but the catch is plasmas use significantly more power than LCD’S.
