doubt it. i spent over a month looking at tv's before buying my plasma. everytime i went to the store and compared side by side, the plasma won in picture quality. at the time i was under the impression plasma was old tech and was more interested in LED. but i couldn't excuse the fact that plasma look so much better. the big difference will be the brand of tv's your friends have. LG is in the forefront for tv's.

i have an LG. i think there was a sony or something. also depending on what store you go to they set up the tv weird sometimes so its hard to tell lol

so you think i spent over a month at one single store? not trying to diss your tv in any way. i find it doubtful it will stand up to a comparable plasma. i know this cause i have both and have spent more time than i would care to admit researching before buying one.

....what? never even said anything about you spending time researching bro lol i mean its cool and all you defending your choice of a TV just to get that extra shade of black but dont go off on me for something i didnt post lol

you said [quote]depending on what store you go to they set up the tv weird sometimes so its hard to tell lol[/quote] this led me to believe you implied i spent all my time researching at one store. if that wasn't your meaning then my apologies. i only defend plasmas because i spent so much time looking at tv's side by side at different stores and every time i kept coming back to the plasmas. i was also comparing tv's of the same level to each other. i went into the stored wanting an LED tv and came out with a plasma. because the blacks are so black, it makes the other colors pop so much more. again, i am not saying your tv is bad. i just doubt it looks better than a plasma of comparable specs based on the research i did.

lol no i was saying as a general statement that depending on the store the tv's are set up diff(like the color settings/mode) . and #FirstWorldProblems fighting over TV clarity lol
