Your friend is half correct. Plasmas produce richer blacks that LCDs can't match. LCDs, on the other hand, produce a brighter picture that is ideal for daytime viewing and black levels are decent (depending on your level of tolerance) for night time viewing.

Regarding lag - it doesn't depend on either technology. Sony's existing lineup of Bravia TVs offers lower input lag than any Plasma out there. The W800A has the lowest input lag ever recorded on an HDTV. Hence, if this is your primary requirement, I would suggest that you save up some more and get the 42 inch Sony W800A.

Otherwise, you could go for a 46 inch Samsung ES5500, which should approximately fall within your existing budget of 70K.

Also, you didn't mention if 3D was a requirement.

first i am really thankful for you reply
no 3d is not requirement
so you are recommending me sony w800a which is 3d i think
can you tell me anything other then w800a. with lowest input lag and really good when it come to black background

and as long as samsung in concerned i will consider your advice before purchasing so es5500 is best in my price range or anything better

You could also consider the 40 inch Sony W700A. It doesn't support stereo 3D, and should fall within your budget. Black levels are good for an edge-lit panel (best blacks on an LCD are achieved via backlit array, but such TVs are really expensive), and input lag is also low.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
