Fellow dudes, when it comes to all this new television spec's, I'm in hyperspace but the wife wants a new one....nothing wrong with our 32 inch Sony Trinitron....but that's another story.
So, I'm looking at the Emerson LCD 40 inch for 298, but it's a 60hz, 1080p OR the Samsung plasma 43 inch, 700Hz, 720p for 398. I've read some of the lcd vs. plasma debates, but it still seems like a wash. The refresher rate on the plasma is great, but it's 720p....BUT the Emerson is 60hs, but at 1080p. No video games will be played on it, but there will be some football watching and general TV shows. Viewing would be about 6-10 feet away, dead center. Any comments will be appreciated.
