Not exactly a boating topic, but...

What is the difference between 720 and 1080 - resolution?

Which is better - LCD or plasma?


360 lines....... or 30% higher resolution

Plasma.

Don't believe anything anyone else tells you about Plasma vs LCD.


Hm, I would put the two models beside each other with the same normal cable
feed signal, try the remote at different angles and see the picture before
making a decision. LCD has come a long way, weighs less, runs cooler and
many say lasts longer than plasma. But if in the end you don't like
watching it, then it isn't worth anything.

I bet on boats most are LCD. Simple less power/heat and lighter.

Resolution? Higher is better so long as quality is good.

Me, I picked LCD.
