    Jeeze, LCD vs Plasma war incoming...

    I'd get the LCD for full HD at that size, rather than HD ready on the plasma, but then I wouldn't get either without reading reviews. What do the reviews that you've read have you leaning towards?

    I'd never buy a television without seeing how it performed in real life beforehand.
    I would suggest you go to somewhere like Richer Sounds and have a look at what is on offer in your price range, and decide from there what looks best to your eyes and your pocket.

    On paper the LG has the better spec.

    I would agree with the post above, you should really try to see it working and not a demonstration DVD but a live broadcast.

    Personally, If it were me, I would spend a little more and go for a Sony or a Samsung, even if that meant going for a smaller screen size.

    I wouldnt buy either. Hitachi dont make tvs anymore, they just rebrand them.
    LGs 600Hz mode is awful, so youd be paying for something that makes it look worse
    :idea:
