do you have any sources that play in 1080p? if not is he willing to give up $100? i'd probably would do just b/c most plasma's have better picture quality. i'm really not familiar with those tv's.

I don't know why people down plasma. A correctly setup Plasma looks awesome and costs less than lcd.

Plasmas are cheaper, so no I wouldn't do it unless he pays, or if your tv isn't in good cond.

i dont know because people have been telling me plasma over LCD any day

 

[funkyab 10+ year member]

then why is your buddy so anxious to trade?

I would do it. Plasma looks much better to me and from my viewing distance 1080p isnt an upgrade.
