Choosing LCD TV over Plasma

It was a tough decision.

Plasma put up a big fight, especially since there's a great offer on a Panasonic Viera which would have made a 37-inch plasma TV cost less than $2,000 after taking the free shopping vouchers into account.

However, after considering LCD's lower power consumption and longer life, LCD won out, and we are now proud owners of a similarly-sized Samsung (pictured, $2,499 from Courts with a free entertainment system thrown in).

I brought Mama Bear to see what we'd purchased and I think she's already looking forward to the pleasure of viewing Discovery Travel & Leisure on the big screen.
