Q. We are thinking of buying a new tv and dont know which one to get.Plasmas seem to be cheaper but I am looking for the pros and cons between a plasma and a LCD.
A. Due to posting limitations in Yahoo! Answers I have posted my attempt at a reasonably thorough overview of the pros and cons of plasma and LCD technology on the Google Docs Webpage to which I’ve provide a link below.
Plasma vs. LCD Technology

If you seriously value video image fidelity and would like a reasonably immersive experience when viewing movies then I strongly recommend purchasing the largest direct-view 1080p HDTV that you can afford (preferably a minimum of 50 inches, give or take 2 or 3 inches, up to a maximum of roughly 70 inches.) It is important that you choose an HDTV that will provide the best video (processing) performance when using a wide mix of video source material without sacrificing user-friendly operation as well as interoperability with other video equipment, namely HDMI-equipped video components such as upscaling DVD players, BD players, cable set-tops, etc.
Based solely on video image quality the pricey Pioneer KURO PDPs set the standard and remain one of THE best consumer TVs currently on the market. I highly recommend taking a serious look at Panasonic’s (PZ800 Series) PDPs and—to a somewhat lesser extent—Samsung’s (650 Series) PDPs as well as VIZIO’s new VP505XVT if you’re interested in good quality, lower-cost alternatives.
If you have a viewing environment containing substantial illumination I would give additional consideration to LCD TVs from Samsung (A650 Series,) Sony and a few other brands.
When shopping for a new HDTV (assuming you still watch—or plan on watching—a moderate amount of SD video material,) be sure to thoroughly test the TVs in which you’re interested using a wide variety of source materials, especially average quality non-upscaled, non-HD source material, (as well as Silicon Optix’s HQV Benchmark discs, if possible,) input directly into each of the TV’s video inputs that you plan on using. Doing so should help you quickly assess the TV’s video and image processing performance as well as the TV’s ability to provide such video and image processing without incurring noticeable lip-sync error.

can i get HD and get the full value out of my HDTV through a TV card on my PC?
Q. i want to use a large LCD HDTV as my monitor. I am wondering if i can get a nice video card with a TV Tuner, and then get a cable or satellite package that includes HD channels. Is this setup feasible, or am i not going to be able to receive good digital signal in my TV through a TV card?
A. You can get good tuner cards and video cards, but generally, you'll be limited to standard definition, over the air and in the clear cable digital, including HD. You won't be able to get any of the satellite HD or scrambled cable HD.
The problem is that there are no tuner cards that will accept an HD input from a cable or satellite box.
There is an exception. Cablecard PCs will work as if you have a cable box connected to a PC. There aren't many of these PCs available and they are pretty expensive.
