Now since u have asked about Plasmas, let me mention a few things to look out for, before buying them........1) If u are going to watch it, where Sunlight is abundant, then avoid it - coz the picture looks very dull when sunlight falls on it.2) As mentioned earlier, avoid it for PCs.3) Before buying 1, check out how much "Image burn-in" is affecting it. That Ghost effect that is being discussed, is the image burn-in problem. People are saying that its a thing of the past, but in reality it does exist in negligible amounts. Just recently my uncle got it & he said there is minor issue, but he can live with it. So u need to check how much burn-in issue is there.Burn-in happens when an image stays still on the screen, and not in fast-paced sequences. this is the reason why it is isnt recommended for PCs.4) Power usage. Of all the 3 techs, Plasma is the biggest power hungry technology. If Plasma uses 100 units, LCD uses 50 units. LED uses 20 Units..........thats the scale of comparison for power.Still, all said & and done, it gives good viewing experience. Its quality is as good as LEDs & obviously super-high refresh rates make them ideal for sports viewing.And i havent come across this "PROBLEM" of Plasmas, that they need Ventilation!!!!! :O
