RE: Plasma, LCD and other displays



Sorry Gerard, but I've got a top notch LCD, and while it is much better
than a generation ago for displaying fast moving pictures the response
time is far too slow. Just watch a football match and see the ball smear across the screen. Compare that with best of breed plasmas, where it
doesn't happen. In fact my current plasma is far better in this respect
than my old Philips 100 Hz TV.
