[RFI] Plasma TVs vs LCD TVs

[Gary Smith]

The artifact "fractals" issue is why I went with a Samsung DLP set.  Best contrast ratio (10000:1) only thing that goes away is the light bulb.  Had to buy a new one after 3k hour so use, was $140.00 or so through Amazon.  Bulb that arrived was genuine Samsung part, took less the 10 mins to change it out.
MY overall experience with Samung product has been w-a-y beyond my expectations.

  I just bought a Samsung LCD.  I also have a ViewSonic LCD TV.  Both
  are whisper quiet and immune to RFI/TVI from my KW station on all
  bands from 80m up.  I don't operate 160m, so can't comment on that
  one.

  I love the TV, but...I have to admit that I think there are more
  "artifact" issues with LCD than with Plasma.  Color and contrast are
  great, but "motion artifacts" are definitely there.  I would have gone
  with Plasma myself had it not been for the many reports like the one
  you just sent.  I rarely hear of noise problems with LCD, but I hear
  them frequently with Plasma.  I didn't want to buy a plasma only to
  return it shortly thereafter.
