Plasma or LCD?

“i didn’t quite understand your experiment… and did i mention i use an s-vid cable?

btw, “component cables” are rca’s to me… same plugs…”

They are the same plugs, as I said, they’re just a different color. That’s why I said you can use a composite (red, white, yellow) cable to connect component video, you just have to be careful not to mix up the colors (red=red, white=blue, yellow=green). the difference is on the inputs/outputs on the TV/DVD player. If your TV doesn’t have component inputs you can’t connect component video.

S-video is superior to composite, but not as good as component. You really should try my experiment. I would be very surprised if you don’t notice a difference.

“we recently found out that if you leave a static image on for about 5 months, you actually can burn in the image.”

Did the burn-in stay permanent, or did it fade over time? Ususally when you start playing other images on the screen the burned-in image WILL fade. This will not occur with plasma or CRT sets. Just curious. That was a good experiment!

You should rent! It would be crazy to buy now IMHO. Rentacenter has much better deals. The TV bubble has just started to burst. I am going to buy in 2012.
Havn’t you learned anything from piggs. sdrealtor, I am ashamed of you. Don’t be a knifecatcher.
Why would anyone pay for TV signal when it comes free via rabbit ears.
I could keep going but my phone is ringing. I hope everyone has a great holiday season. Mery Christmas you all.

Haven’t you heard that some people buy for reasons other than financial reasons. Perhaps their husband is pressuring them and they plan to keep it forever. In the long run it usually works out. I bought a 9-inch B&W TV from KMart in 1979 and it still works really great. It’s probably even worth more than the $39 I paid for it. It even has some plaint splatters on it, so now it has some color. Maybe other people want to convert their B&W to color by painting it. You can’t paint a rental.

P.S. – My opinions: LCD and DirecTV over Plasma and Cable. Also, MaryAnn over Ginger.

“Did the burn-in stay permanent, or did it fade over time? Ususally when you start playing other images on the screen the burned-in image WILL fade.”

Your question got me curious so I just checked it again today. It looks like the burn-in image faded away. The TV has been mostly off for a while now (maybe a month or so) so I’m not sure how long it took to fade. Anyway, its good to know there’s no obvious permanent damage. LCD’s pass the burn-in test as far as I’m concerned.
