Re: Compelling reason NOT to go plasma?


Really the only issues with plasma is they dont like the heat so if your room is warm in the summer this will shorten its lifespan. Plasma's also tend to have more of an issue with dead pixels at an early stage (less than 3 years).
On the plus side they have great contrast and work well in bright locations.
