    I’m considering purchasing a LCD or plasma somewhere in the 42″ and up range (give clients a nice big screen to look at). I’ve done some research and I am now trying to wiegh the pro’s and con’s of each technology. I saw Panasonic released a new line of plasmas that look really nice (TH-42PHHD8UK). I’m feeling inclined to go with the Plasma…any advice? I realize LCD technology has come along way…should I wait another 6 months or so? Thanks for the advice.

    We have 2 of the Panasonic Plasma from this series, one 42″ with the SDI input card, and a 37″ with just the standard inputs. I got the 42″ w/ the SDI input card because I do finsihing in my room, and wanted the extra bit of quality. I have to say, I’ve been pretty impressed with it. So, depending on what type of work you do, and what type of setup you have, I would go with the 42″ Panasonic.
    Also, as far as LCD’s go, you will have to spend alot more money to get the same size and quality as the Panasonic 42″. And if you are doing finishing, and want to have an SDI input on the screen, you are looking the the Sony Broadcast LCD series, which is a ton more money.
