Comments: Yes well I do agree with a comment earlier from 'confusedbyfar'...! I wont even attempt even commenting on 100Hz vs 60 or even 120, to be honest I got some advice a couple of years ago re Plasma downfalls v's wait for LCD's in the larger sizes (6 months away at the time...!) if a plasma is bumped knocked accidently and you lose pixels, short of claiming the new panel under warranty 12 months usually (some of the more discerning manufacturers like Toshiba 3 yrs, Pioneer 5 years, offer alot better value as the product ages... (upfront price is usually taken into account, although are Pioneer still offering delivery & Install.? again I will be challenged on this now Jan 2008 my comments were discussed 2 yrs ago... Lets all agree on one thing.....? the speed by which Technology is changing continues to press the minds and imaginations around the world... regardless weather one decides on LCD or Plasma... truth is... 2 things to keep in mind and for practical reasons only, think about if you have children, toddles especially, from what I heard and read, plasma do not like being poked or prodded, where as the LCD as a family unit would be safer more than likely.? didn't CNet review the new gen Pioneer recently... and gave it the thumbs up...?
