Question by Steve: Used 60 inch Plasma TV worth 0?
My work has a used 60 inch plasma (LG 60pc1dc) for sale for $ 750. I’m not sure if I should buy it. So I’m asking here, is it worth it?
Pros:
Only seen 12 hours use.
Huge screen, of course.
Cons:
It was moved via van once, out of packaging.
It powers up, but I’ve not tested (nor could test) every option/connector.
No remote, no warranty.
Older plasma technology.
About 3 years old, wall mounted, powered down most of the time. Is this an issue?
Newer technology TVs, granted a bit smaller of course, can be purchased all day long for $ 750 – $ 1000. TVs this size are also under $ 2000 now, and are not plasma.
I’m leaning toward a 47 inch that’s brand spankin’ new instead, but if someone here raises their hand and says “Buy it you fool!!” then I want get get that opinion and the reasons.
Thanks

I don’t know the specs for both, but if you can, compare the specs. If they’re both similar, then get the 60 in AFTER you get a chance to try it out.
Turn it on, let it run for about 5-10 minutes. Make sure the picture quality looks fine, there’s no problems with the screen. See if there’s any really dark or really white spots that aren’t supposed to be. Make sure there’s no physical damage that you can see as well (on the screen, if it’s on like the back, don’t worry about it unless it’s a port or something like that).
If you don’t get a chance to try out the television, DO NOT BUY IT even if the person selling it to you keeps saying it’s in really good, top condition. Otherwise you might be wasting money…
Specs to look for is resolution, the higher the number, the better (1920×1080 is true HD, go higher if you want). That’s really it, you can check contrast, but that doesn’t matter very much…

Question by bob135: Lowest Prices per square inch of screen for 40″+ LCD or Plasma 1080p TVs?
Just wondering if anyone knows good deals. Right now I’m looking at about $ .88/sq in (if my math is right). It’s $ 800 for a Sanyo 46″ LCD 1080p 60hz 2000:1 contrast.
Have you guys seen anything better (ie same specs or better and equal or lower price per square inch of screen)?
I don’t really mind LCD or Plasma but I’d like 1080p and at least 40″

Question by : Should I buy a 40″ LED-LCD TV or a 50″ Plasma TV for same price?
I am looking into purchasing either the new 40″ Sony Internet TV powered by Google or a 50″ Panasonic Plasma.
The Sony is an LED-LCD 1080p, 60hz (I am a little worried with the low refresh rate) as far as a TV goes, but the cool thing is the built in Google TV internet.
The Panasonic is a Plasma 1080p, 600hz, so I like the refresh rate and hear picture quality is typically better on Plasma’s and it’s larger, but doesn’t have the cool, new Google TV.

Answer by mexicotv
If you are going to be gaming I would pick the Plasma. Otherwise I would buy the LED/LCD with the cool internet capability. Just my unprofessional take on the situation. It really is all a matter of personal choice.

Question by Harish: How much more energy does a Plasma TV consumer compared to a LCD TV?
How much more energy does a Plasma TV consumer compared to a LCD TV? Everyone says Plasma consumes more energy than a LCD, but by how much? Twice as much as a LCD? Newer versions of plasmas are now ‘Energy Certified”, does that mean they still consumer more energy than LCD, but overall, does not take that much compared to a traditional CRT TV?
Best answer:
Answer by Elyakim L
A CRT TV uses a lot of energy. The initial power up takes a big jolt and from there it sustains itself while wasting more energy. Think of it as a Incandescent light bulb, putting out heat. When that wasted energy on heat could be used to help output more lumens. I don’t know much about plasmas because I don’t think they will be around much longer, once laser diode TVs are developed that is. Laser diode TVs are still being researched, but once created they will be as brilliant as a plasma and as long lasting as a LCD TV (liquid crystal display).
To find out the wattage you need to use the equation P=I*E
“P” is equivalent to Power “I” is equivalent to Current and “E” is equivalent to voltage. “P” is expressed in Watts, “I” is expressed in Amps and “E” is expressed in Volts.
Standard wall outlets put out about 120 Volts of Alternating current. All you need to know is how much amps this unit consumes. Look on the back of the TV and it should give you an amp reading. Multiply this number by 120V and you should get your answer in Watts. Keep in mind that Sometimes Amps are expressed in mAh (milli amperes)
So an old CRT TV would consume a lot more power compared to a LCD flat screen tv of the same size. An LCD is energy efficient just like those weird Compact Flourescent Light bulbs.
