LCD or LED or Plasma

So I want to buy an HDTV to replace the CRT in my room. I have the following options:
1. A 42 inch Plasma
2. A 42 inch LCD
3. A 32 inch LED
4. A 32 inch LCD
5. A 32 inch Plasma
First 3 are of the same price, 4 and 5 are cheaper.
My room is small-ish, so the max distance I can view it from is 10-11 feet, minimum around 7-8 feet.
So would 42 inches be overkill? If not, is there any reasonable reason to go for a smaller LED in the same price?
If yes, would I be better off with a smaller cheaper 32 inch LCD or a 32 inch Plasma than a more expensive 32 inch LED?

Yeah the colors are absolutely beautiful in the LED. But LCDs aren't too far behind. I don't know much about Plasmas but I've heard they're even better than the LEDs in terms of blacks.

Never really used a Plasma TV, when I worked for Fry's Electronics a while back, everyone always complained about them and about how if you turn them the wrong way they dont work anymore? idk if thats still the same now so I just stayed away I have just always enjoyed LED and LCD anyways.

For a good connection, it is always recommended to push the plug all the way into the port. Of course, the first time it happens, there might be some resistance but it should be alright after that.

[R.I.P.]Broken Grouper

Damn, i accidentally dropped on to the tile floor and landed on the corner... R.I.P. (2012-2013) my trusty N7. Now i am facing a new problem: a new tablet. I am tempted to buy an ipad as it may partially replace my laptop on certain school days. however the 32gb grouper is only $250 here, also a good buy. what should i do?

I will wait for the n7 refresh, who knows what Google will do in the next 2 months.

You can buy 32gb Groupers for $199 now since most places are lowering them, I guess, in preparation for the new model.
I have a brand new 32gb sitting in a box downstairs. I guess I'll sell both and buy a new one, if its worth it.

maybe you have to answer this;
- how the urgency of your need?
- if you buy Ipad, will it cover all your need?
if i were you i'll take N10 instead Ipad..

Because apple is better. NO. Because here in Australia good android tablets are as hard to find as it is easy to find iPads. There really aren't many choices things like n10 is just to complicated to obtain. That's why, if I am given a CHOICE, I will choose android every time, but here there isn't any choices.

Which iPad? The 4 is hardly a bad tablet-- I was thinking of trading in my iPad 3 (the performance bump from the 3 to the 4 is really quite nice), but ultimately didn't have time to go in today and the promotion is over. Honestly, I like it more than any of my Android tablets because the thing is rock solid no matter what, but I do a lot of my tinkering on my Android tabs so it's at least partially my fault.

I would wait and acquire the nexus 7 second generation.

My Google Play Edition s4 is SOOO much better than my N5

I have had my N5 for a week now and its back in the box and the Play S4 takes its place, nothing about the N5 is any better than the S4 in fact its worse in available screen size, notification lights don't work and its so slippery I already dropped it twice, and the camera sucks asss, is this really the Google Flagship, I think not!!!!!!!! Not to mention the fact that the S4 has removable battery and SDcard

I had to pee today after I drank coffee, and then I had some toast. Today is a good day.

heres your answer
The screen sizes are identical but Google uses the bottom portion for its on screen controls so the screen area ends up being about 3/8" shorter than the S4, just saying that's all, maybe not everyone realises

So you think a $600 is better than a $300 phone? okay...

Is this thread one of the Samsung's marketing strategy?

Why are you still here if you are getting rid your slippery N5?
Oh, and in case you weren't aware the S4 is worse in screen size then the G2 and Note 3. Just wanted to put that out there for you.

I've owned 5 different phones in the last 3 years and I haven't dropped any of them once, yet you dropped yours twice in a day. Maybe you just have sweaty hands?

but they are not Google phones the last time I checked ROFLMAO

You heard what Erica had to say. She is one of the most impartial reviewer outside and certainly more knowledgeable than you are.

So? She's one reviewer. Displaymate who does the most exhaustive objective mobile device display testing on the Internet thought the S' AMOLED display was brilliant (and backed it up with hard numbers). Why is Erica's repetitive, grating, and subjective hyena screeching video more valid? People should form their own opinions anyway; it's not like you can't find a S to play with and compare side-by-side to a Samsung LCD tablet.

Well, to begin with, most people who have discovered this site are of mostly two camps:
They already own the Tab S
Or they are going to buy it no matter what you said.
I'm from both. I came here knowing I was going to buy my 10.5 and no matter what negatives I read about was going to deter me from my quest, not even yours if I would have read it before hand.
Maybe some mainstream forums but not here.

Truly pathetic and obstinate. Good thing not human are this stupid.

Edit: Rated and typical capacities differ.

I saw this. A shame on OnePlus for sure. Add it to the list, along with cell provider compatibility (Verizon).
PS. Although I have pretty solid SOT, it's probably going back if I can't use it on Verizon reliably for business.

I noticed same with accuser battery app that the estimate is 3800. Maybe it's reserved/locked like a Tesla?

The rated capacity is 3880 while the typical capacity is 4000.

First the fake 3x optical zoom, now this

Or 120 mAh... If you are using that thing called 'math'

For those who have not looked closely at the photos of the battery and/or don't understand the difference between rated and typical capacity:
The battery says Rated Capacity 3800mah AND Typical Capacity 4000mah... so Oneplus HAS NOT LIED at all, it does have a battery with a Typical Capacity of 4000mah.
The Rated Capacity is what you would get if you discharged the battery at 2+ Amps... A cell phone should never be pulling that much current .... If instead you drain the battery at a much lower rate (like 200ma or less) you will get a capacity of around 4000mah.
In other words: Don't accuse someone of lieing without making sure you know what you are talking about first.

120mAh which is 3% of the advertised battery capacity and I don't remember any math class I ever took where I allowed to round up by 120 units and the answer still be valid. This isn't hard drive sales.
Edit: I'm wrong and now looking at the Galaxy S10+ and the Huawei P30 Pro all their "Advertised" capacitys are 100 mAh different from their "typical" or idea rating. It seems every flagship is doing this even though Oneplus is still cutting 20mAh extra compared to other manufacturers.

Well, that makes sense I suppose. Ifixit didn't exactly elaborate in the video, and they have a good enough reputation I think many would take what they said at face value. Like I did.
So, I will definitely scold the ifixit people for making such heinous accusations of lying next time I see them. Which is to say: I won't. And don't be a jerk.

Inbound calls from iphone x series users on Verizon are being immediately rejected (when HD Calling/Advanced Calling in enabled). It's a weird bug that they are supposedly working on.
Also, I was wrong about the capacity rating. I should have looked into it further.

could someone explain whats is meant by "Kernel profile" eg whats this profile for?
