I have always been more partial to Plasmas than LCD, but in my current situation at this precise time in space, I have the opportunity to purchase a TV... follow my drift ? and also the opportunity to have a $3200 tv for $2400 of which I have personaly seen portions of a recent BD movie play on it and was very impressed. Does the 52inch 7 or even 8 series of Samsung Plasma look better than their LCD counterpart ? don't know.. I have not seen a Samsung plasma of that size, or in that price range..so going on the factors at hand 1. I have seen the tv and I like it. 2. The price is as good as it going to get for that set and 3. I have the approval of the financial committee to go ahead with the purchase..so, that pretty much wraps it up.

Of course, I already know that in the near future, ie: 5 - 8 years, there will be some insanely better tech to be had for the same price I will pay today..maybe 60" OLEDS for $3K.. don't know.. but this will have to "tie me over" until something drastically better comes along at the equivalent price (for the day of course).
