Well, if your Plasma TV is not HD, then the HD is better. This is because television stations are required to change their format to Digital in the coming years. This means that any TV which is not Digital ready may become obsolete without a conversion device. It is unclear if having Cable/Satellite will allow such a conversion, but if not, then almost all televisons made in the last several years will be difficult to use without a convertor. No solid news as to how much such a convertor might cost.

the panasonic is larger than the perfect liquid crystal exhibit, yet you nevertheless produce different plasma television's that are better than the Panasonic (like the pioneer kuro). The panasonic has a one hundred,000 hours of lifespan, and it has better reasonable hues than maximum LCDs. liquid crystal exhibit is gonna be a dull technologies 2 years from now because it's going to get replaced by technique of OLED. Plasmas received't die because they offer enormous exhibit screen sizes and performance that opponents CRTs.(CRTs are the perfect). in spite of the indisputable fact that the Panasonic isn't proper for extremely brightly lit rooms, because it does no longer have a good anti mirrored image clear out. The Pioneer Kuro is asserted the perfect television contained in the international, and they have good anti mirrored image clear out. stay faraway from LCDs in case you watch activities, and play video games, because LCDs have action blur. do not pay interest to the individuals who allow you to understand that plasma has burn-in. only previous plasmas have burn-in. those human beings for sure stay lower than a rock.

There appears to be a misunderstanding in some of the responses about the required changeover to digital television in 2009. The FCC requires stations to shut down analog broadcasts by then. To continue broadcasting, they must switch to digital. However, this does not mean they have to broadcast High Definition digital; they may opt for "standard definition" which has the same resolution as current analog (although the digital picture looks better anyway). As a practical matter, it appears that almost all stations will broadcast programs that are produced in HD in the HD mode. Still there are, and will continue to be, many programs broadcast that are not HD, but still digital. (Examples of digital that is not HD are the current DVD standard, or non-HD digital cable or satellite.)
Not all plasmas are HD; to qualify as HD the sets must have at least 720 lines. Standard def has at most 480 lines.

Federal regulations require that any conversion to HD (High Definition) TV me made in such a way that non HD receivers can still get the signal. There are other problems as well at this moment. Remember the problem, years ago, between VHS and Beta TV recording technologies? Well, VHS won and those who bought Beta lost their money! At this moment, some of the same thing is going on, there are two systems to record HD programs. I would advise you to just wait till the whole thing settles down on a single system, not to mention that the prices are bound to go down, before making a decision.

This question doesn't make sense. Most Plasma TVs ARE HDTV. There are some which are EDTV (Enhanced Definition TV).
HDTV is not a display technology, it is a television picture definition / technology requiring TVs accept and display pictures that are 720p or 1080i. 720p is considered HDTV and requires that TVs display at least 720 lines vertically, progressively scanned. SDTV or standard definition TV is 480i (480 lines vertically, interlace scanned). EDTV is 480p (480 lines progressively scanned).
Many commercial plasma displays display 768 lines vertically and so are capable of native display of 720p or down converted 1080i.
New HD disc players (Blu-ray and HD-DVD) as well as many new TVs are supporting 1080p which is beyond the HDTV standards.
I'm quite happy watching my HD Plasma TV right now. It's great!

Plasma! Most channels aren't available in HD yet, and those that are show up great on a plasma screen as well as those that are not broadcast HD.
