Asda 40" Full HD 1080p LCD TV cheap!

[Channel Hopper]

Not to start a LCD vs plasma war, but I would never knowingly buy a LCD set. Yes, they use less energy. Yes, they don't suffer screen burn ins and are much better suited as a computer moniton. Yes, they are cheaper. But... they look like a plastic glamour model - there's nothing real looking on it. My girlfriend's latest Samsung LCD.. sorry, LED (as she likes to point out), is a singing and dancing Smart TV, Internet blah blah... but the image quality is just... fake. LED-backlit looks better than older LCDs but are still behind plasmas in terms of realism.

Untrue. The very first LCD TV's I saw (from a Turkish company) were streets ahead of the plasma in terms of contrast/speed of pixel change. I think they were bought out by the competition.
