Samsung 50" Plasma HDTV** (PN50A450)

I have a samsung 50 plasma and i love it

Samsung. Also look at Panasonic.

out of those 2. get the samsung. the LG's picture is really grainy on regular cable.
like Manic! said. look at panasonic. best bang for buck. you wont regret it. i have one myself

i would get a panasonic but it doesnt have a pc input and i need to hook up my computer to it

if you push beyond 50 in, you need it to be better than 720

then again, HDMI xbox on 42 in on my 720 P is already orgasmic.
to tell you the truth 50% cable = crappy pic
20% avi movies
30% gears of war
i'm fine with my 42 inc.

You can get a DVI to HDMI adapter.

so basically that goes from the back of my computer and into the hdmi in my tv

thanks for the input guys i picked up a samsung pn50a530 from futureshop for $1299

Dont want to create a new thread for this so here is my question:

Plasma vs LCD, which one has longer life before you have to replace the burnt bulb?
Is it worth replacing the burnt bulb or just buy a new TV?

these are not rear projection tv....:rolleyes:

ya, whatever its called!,, i know they are not rear projection TV, I just want to know which one has better lifetime usage. Don't want to buy a TV with shorter lifespam.

either will last long enough until the current technology is obsolete

Plasmas are usually considered the technology that has the shortest life span, but to put things into perspective:

I think most modern plasmas are rated about 60,000 hours of watching ....That's almost 7 years of continuous watching!
(LCD is ~70,000-80,000hrs)

I highly doubt you'll use your TV 24/7, so, even at 12hrs per day, you're up to almost 14 years of life.

In other words, you have better things to worry about :)
