Plasma screens are still vulnerable to image burn in so after a while the ui will get burned into the screen. Just go a a nice high quality lcd as the technology is rock solid and they look stunning in 1080p especially if you have one of the newer 120 or 240 hz screens.

I used to have a LG 26 inch HD TV, which could also be used as PC monitor. AWESOME! I totally recommend LG... really good quality and their screens have pretty good specs. ________________________

Price/Quality wise for lower-end I believe LG is best. Soon as you're willing to pay more than $2G's for a TV, go with Samsung... Made of absolute godliness in quality. Honestly, you can see the difference just walking into a store and looking at the displays...

LG are really great for the price, as are samsung if you can spend more for something pretty high end.

This is complete urban myth.
When Plasma cells first came out they were vulnerable to image burn in, the same as CRT and LCD. As the technology has been advanced, it's been pretty much negated.
The only difference from an LCD to a plasma you get is the fact that with some older plasma cells, if you leave it running with a static image for a number of hours, the image stays shadowed on the screen for 10-15 seconds when you change it.
It's known as image retention, not burn in and it's temporary and lasts for seconds without harming the plasma cell at all. It's a natural by-product of how the plasma cell displays pixels.
In fact, a very high quality plasma TV generally produces a better picture quality than an LCD in the same price range, purely because the LCD ends up with a slight grey tinge to its blacks from the backlight.
Plasma cells give off a slightly less sharp picture, but they're naturally capable of displaying more vibrant colour due to the way they're produced.

Well thank you for the update. Last time I researched plasma screens they were still having the burn in issues which is why I went with an lg lcd panel. Good to see they plugged up that vulnerability.

Pretty sure plasma tvs suffer in the burn in of doom, which requires you to turn off the tv every 30 minutes for 10 minutes when displaying static images, such as the desktop. Things could have changed in the last few years but trust me, watching tv with your desktop overlaying the picture isn't fun (My cousin actually has this).
I have an LCD for both the living room and my computer, an LG and a Samsung, fantastic picture quality and smooth refresh rate, Eve looks absolutely amazing on my Samsung and it's not even one of the high priced models. Plus I don't have to turn them off every 30 minutes, which I can imagine gets annoying fast.
When I looked into it a few years a go, I believe the general rule was that the only plus to a plasma was that they were cheaper at larger sizes.

Hate to say this, but it doesn't matter what TV you have. You will not be able to pick up your computer and run through it.
Now on the other hand, if you want to PLAY games on the TV... Welcome to EVE. |

When using a tv for your computer and gaming there are 2 things you want to check before you complete the purchase.
- Check the supported resolutions
- Check the response time
Some televisions may only support 1020x768 when using certain connections. This is something you have to adjust before hooking it up to your tv. Otherwise your tv will just show you a black screen.
The more expensive ones in that size range may be able to support what you are looking for. I have a home theater pc hooked up and it is ok for gaming on my lcd projection tv. But I really wish I looked at the supported resolutions before I bought it. I would have gladly spent the extra $2-300 more for a better response time and a higher resolution than what we have.

That seems to be the other urban myth I guess though I suppose it will depend on the panels quality. I have an LG70 1080p 42" and blacks are black with none of this grey mist stuff I hear people talk about for lcd screens. Also led tvs beat the grey mist syndrome because each pixel is its own light source so if the pixel calls for black it just turns off the pixel.

What Verone said. I use a plasma and lcd in different area's of my house. Have yet to have any burn in, through countless hours of gaming/web surfing. Plasma's have a tendency to be abit less money than lcd's on a cost/size ratio. The main factor I've found is how bright is the room in which you're going to be using the computer in? Plasma's reflect light like a mirror, lcd's don't. When you get the money, go for the led lcd :) How many must die in the name of God before the Devil is satisfied |

Not quite. Current LED LCD's with local dimming have at least 256x256 pixel zones that can be dimmed, there are visible artifacts (halo around bright areas) from it.
No current LED LCD TV can dim individual pixels. Only plasmas can do that until something else arrives (OLED)...

I see. Never really researched led tvs as they were none available when I got my lg lcds. I'm just glad I didn't buy into that dlp tv craze with the lamps that only last 3000 hours and cost $250+ to replace.

Plasma are awesome, great response and black when needed.
TBH, LED TV's are a misnomer. A true LED display uses LEDs for pixels. "LED TV's" are actually LCD displays as they use LCDs for pixels, and just use LEDs for lighting. The only true LED TV available to consumers that I know about is the Sony XEL-1, which has a resolution of 960x540 (probably because LED's still need to go through a lot more miniaturization before they can compete with LCDs). ----------

I own a Panasonic Viera 42" Plasma, and it most definitely vulnerable to burn in. The thing that shows this off is in the UK watching BBC Breakfast News the damn clock is always in the same place no matter what. I started to notice a grey tinged box appearing there when i turned the TV on and it was still displaying black screen.
Solution is obvious and its the only thing ive noticed. Using it as a Monitor i believe i keep it in 1024x768 mode but i rarely use it as a Monitor. Its regularly used with the Wii console though and i have no problems but then we never keep still for long on our mario kart sessions .
Its not fast burn in, we started to notice maybe 8 months into using it normally - which happens to be morning news and evening shows. It also doesnt show on the screen - just when its black and booting up.

Just use a DVI to HDMI cable and run it at the native resolution for extra viewing pleasure (unless it is one of those old non HD plasmas).
