[RFI] HDTV: Plasma vs LCD

[dalej]

If it were me, I'd go with a quality LCD with LED backlighting, ( think most new LCD's now have LED backlight).  I have a small one here in the shack, mounted on the wall, it is a Samsung with LED backlighting and I do not have any noise in the radio from it.  We also have a Sony LCD 46 inch in the living room with the older style backlighting, (I believe they are a fluorescent tube), that does not generate noise and I don't get into it when running full legal power.  I have no hands on experience with Plasma other than what I've read about them over the years. I think they are heavy, but might perform better picture wise if located in an area where there is direct sunlight shining in the room.
