    If they want it for 3D marketing, why not put a 60 frame lenticular lens on it? It's not perfect, but in two directions it will look 3D without glasses.

    For whatever reason, I'm in the market for another TV, and I figured, "why not an HDTV?"

    I've been holding off on getting an HDTV for quite a while. I currently don't have a TV. I watch all of my TV and play all of my games on a 24" 1920 x 1080 monitor. I watch all of my TV online currently.

    I want an HDTV. But I don't want one too big. 40" looks just about right for what I want. I want to be able to watch some movies, TV and play some games. I do want it to be 1080p. Some people say you can't tell the difference, but I honestly can.

    I know that as soon as I get one, though, the price will drop. :(

    Oh sure. You release this the week AFTER I buy a TV.

    Of course, I bought a Samsung pn50b650 Plasma for $935... But, seriously, this would have been helpful!

    I bought a 46" 120Hz Sammy last year for my living room. I might get something for my bedroom, but for now, I'm content with what I have.

    I live in an apartment, so it's maybe a 20-step walk to my TV. I think I'll hold off on another TV for a while.

    In my case, I'm very glad I got a plasma. No matter where you put the furniture you still get a good picture and our room isn't so light that an LCD's brightness would be an advantage.

    @oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...: Not at all - I just got my new 42" plasma last week and it weighed the same as my old (very old, so heavier than they are now) 36" LCD.

    Picture is fantastic, especially considering I got it under $600 shipped. Thanks, Dell!

    @oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...: There are pluses and minuses for each type. Burn in really isn't much of a problem anymore, but why worry about it if you like the LCD's picture well enough? I don't play games on that TV and mostly watch movies and TV so a plasma works for me.

    @ripfire: yeah I mention that in a previous comment, I was saying Id take persistence over burn in dollar for dollar. but if burn in really isn't an issue any longer. Does plasma only have weight as a con now? I may have to actually read this guide.

    @oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...: No problem.

    Really the only drawback I've seen from modern plasmas is they're power hungry compared to modern LCD's. But, you can get a good sized plasma for less than the equivalent LCD as well.

    Back then, I remember recommending lcds to my friends and families. Then lately, I ended up with a plasma (Panny pz800). :P The quality is just too good for the price.

    I love fashion and technology but this wasnt thrilling me. Like most high fashion though, its a concept meant to inspire more realistic pieces later. This concept will show back up, but in a more manageble form. (Imagining what COOL shoes they could make with this.) #galaxyleddress

    When you just absolutely have to have a a dress that screams, "Look at me, look at me! Look at me, I'm blinking, look at me!! Are you looking at me? Look at me, look at me, look at me, I'm changing colors! Look at me, look at me!" for your attention whoring needs, get the Galaxy Dress.
    I'm not a fan of the cut or the display pattern, either. I suppose someone has to do it first before someone can do it right, but it'd be interesting to see something like this done tastefully. #galaxyleddress
