Hi all members, I am still in quandry trying to select a television,there are good choices in this technology world. I am aming to purchase a 46" LED or a Plasma, that is why I enquiring to you members which choice would be the best I have been to many electrical retailers and the quality of the LED sets are superb,the clarity is excellent, but I have not seen many Plasmas only Panasonic sets, the quality of thes sets are good. So I am hoping that you members can give me guidance which way to go ? Awaiting any response, thanking you kindly. Regards :- FROGIT

Some questions you should consider:
What's your budget? Different-priced versions of both technologies can vary enormously in quality
Do you have any light source shining onto your screen/ do you watch in a bright room? (Plasma is typically more reflective)
Are you a big gaming fan? (Plasmas have typically faster response times)

the best led sets imo are the lg 8500/8900 range , they are rear led , what that means is the actual led,s are placed directly behind the screen , and they are in clusters , so when there is an image on screen that contains both a bright and dark image , the clusters of led,s behind the part of the screen that is dark can turn off , helping to create deep blacks , whilst the clusters behind the part of the screen thats showing the bright image can light up , this gives rear led sets a greater contrast and black levels than the other , edge lit led,s , which are not much different to conventional ccfl lcd tvs in these areas ..
if its a plasma , at 46in id reccomend the panasonic 46g20 ..
just bear in mind that the lg sets i mentioned are actually quite reflective too , maybe as much as the plasmas , but they will hold their black levels better than the pana under bright lighting ..

I,ve had a Kuro for about 2 years now, have not had any trouble with it at all and the picture is great, so based on that i would go for plasma.

Some very good points by Clare and Max.
I think it is worth adding that many new LCD sets actually include a front glass panel just like traditional plasma sets.
Contrary, Panasonic have removed this front panel on there G, V and VT series, making them considerably less reflective than previously.
This is an area where I actually think you should be careful to make general LCD vs. plasma conclusions, because it is more down to the design of the screen than the panel technology.

Hence my use of the word 'typically'.
I've seen LCDs with deeper blacks and better motion than plasma, and plasmas that are less reflective than LCDs!
It's also rather a moot point adding the Pioneer Kuro into the equation - that surpassed technology boundaries to simply be a damn marvellous all-round TV at a (from perspective) astonishingly reasonable price.
But the Kuro's gone. And for the first time we've seen sets that surpass some areas of its performance....

This was no accusation on you Clare
I know how you generally do not like the LCD vs. plasma considerations and rather want to evaluate how the actual screen performs regardless of technology.
I however still believe you can make general remarks on some areas, e.g. viewing angles and response times.

Max, don't get your hopes up too high.
I think this was a reference to the 5.000£ Samsung...
you mean the £7000 samsung
