Flat Panel Display
Hi,
I am going to buy a new TV set, but I am not sure what to buy.. I would like to have a Flat Screen, around 42" (~106cm), but i am a bit confused... Reading the technical papers, plasma displays seems to better, but talking with friends and colleagues, they would prefer LCDs...
Plasma displays are bright, have a wide color gamut and could create the "perfect black" desirable for watching movies. But LCDs has big resolutions and low electric power consumption but they seem to have a very bad response time... The price is not really an argument, because at this dimension both have the same price, around €2000/$2400....
what do you think? any good arguments for Plasma displays or Liquid Crystal Displays? What would you prefer?
Do you know any sites with recommendation what model to buy from the current devices on the market? (english or german)
regards pressy

NAME
plasmaengineexplorer - Provides direct access to plasma data engines
SYNOPSIS
plasmaengineexplorer [--height pixels] [--width pixels] [-x pixels] [-y pixels] [--engine name] [--source name] [--interval ms]
plasmaengineexplorer [KDE Generic Options] [Qt Generic Options]
DESCRIPTION
plasmaengineexplorer is a graphical tool allowing developers to test Plasma data engines without writing a Plasma applet.
If no options are given, it will start without any data engine selected. The required data engine can be selected from a drop-down list.
Only installed data engines will be found. kbuildsycoca4 may need to be run for newly-installed data engines to be found.
OPTIONS
--height pixels
Sets the height of the window, in pixels.
--width pixels
Sets the width of the window, in pixels.
-x pixels
Sets the x (horizontal) co-ordinate of the top left corner of the window, in pixels.
-y pixels
Sets the y (vertical) co-ordinate of the top left corner of the window, in pixels.
--engine name
Start plasmaengineexplorer with the given data engine selected. name is the internal name of the data engine given by the
X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name key of the desktop file.
--source name
Only valid in conjunction with --engine. Requests a specific source from the data engine when plasmaengineexplorer is started.
--interval time
Sets the default update interval for requested sources to time milliseconds. If not set, the source will update on demand (for some
sources, this will be when new data is available).
If --source is specified, this is the update interval that will be used when requesting that source.
SEE ALSO
More detailed user documentation is available from help:/plasma (either enter this URL into Konqueror, or run khelpcenter help:/plasma).
EXAMPLES
Load the time data engine, showing the local time and updating every second:
plasmaengineexplorer --engine time --source Local --interval 1000
