The pros and cons of LCD TV vs Plasma

If you want to mount your television to the wall, you can opt for either a LCD or a Plasma television. However, if you want to see the screen from different angles without having to rotate the unit you may find that LCD wins by a small margin. Plasma TVs just don’t have quite as much range.

Ironically, the LCD TV vs Plasma competition used to favor Plasmas because LCD’s were originally made for computer screen. There was really no need for viewing the screen from and angle so the Plasma units originally had the upper hand. However, their competitors caught up and surpassed them in little time at all.

What make buying this kind of product really scary are the newer innovations that might come on the market. I hate investing a grand or two on a device that will be quickly outdated. I remember purchasing a Beta movie tape recorder for my television when it first came out. This was a wasted purchase because the VHS units wound up taking the market by storm.

This is why the LCD TV vs Plasma debate is so important to me. I would hate to buy something that needed to be replaced in little time. This is especially true considering the sizeable cost of these units. Until I straighten out the LCD TV vs Plasma question, I’m not going to buy a single thing.

However, I do have to admit that I have a favorite in the competition. I like that the LCD is lighter than the other unit. This is especially true because I would prefer to have the item delivered. I also want to have the television mounted on the wall. A heavier object would make me a little nervous. So far the LCD TV vs Plasma debate is leaning towards the latter.

The great thing is that no matter which you choose you can expect to enjoy the television for about 15 years. This almost makes the LCD TV vs Plasma research seem pretty silly. By the time you need a new one; there will be something new on the market.

Cheap mp3 players every bit as good as expensive ones
When they first came out, I honestly thought that iPod MP3 players were just a passing fad. There were no cheap MP3 players at that point, and I couldn't figure out why it made more sense to get them than to just get a portable CD player. After all, most people already had their music on CDs, so all they required to have truly portable music was a CD carrying case. Even when the first low cost MP3 players started to come out, I still discounted them. I hadn't expected downloading mp3s online to ever become a legitimate thing, you see. I figured that it would wither and die as the RIAA put pressure on the federal government to crack down on illegal file sharing. I had never realized that one day it would become so mainstream.
