Samsung is one of very few manufacturers left making both plasma and LCD HDTVs. LCDs are brighter, but plasmas generally have better black levels and are better at reproducing fast-moving images. Debates rage as to which is best, but the fact is that both technologies lend themselves well to high quality high definition images, particularly when fed with a high quality source such as Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD.
Modern plasmas no longer suffer from the short lifespan or burn-in problems of earlier models. This set's plasma panel has a rated lifespan of 60,000 hours until half brightness – that's 27 years of TV watching, 6 hours a day – and if that's not long enough, well then you, my friend, need a life.
