I heard plasma has poor side viewing quality,but better picture,unknown t.v. life.I took the low road and got a cheap 1080p, 120mhz refresh rate tv,42inch for 450.00 .Thats bang for a low buck.Dont forget to check lifespan expected.New stuff will come out soon like 3d.
Side viewing is pretty good on my Pioneer plasma, certainly better than CRT but less than a projector. Life span seems to be about the same as a CRT which is long enough for me. I like to have a new set before the previous one dies. I ‘m a bang for the buck shopper which means I rarely get tech that’s really new. Plasmas have been around for decades now which means they can be cheap enough for frugal shoppers.

We went plasma about 1.5 years ago because of the side viewing .. our room is wider than deep , lcd was unacceptable for our room..
No, that's LCD's that you're thinking about. You can see the full picture on a plasma from any angle.
