HD or Plasma?

An Plasma TV is very good, but, HDTV is better.

Many Plasmas*ARE* HD though some are only ED (enhanced definition). Uh, plasmas do not "burn out in a year". I know because I have a Panasonic plasma and it has not burned out yet. I did YEARS of research before making my purchase decision and would not have bought a plasma if it's lifespan was only one YEAR or if modern plasmas were worse than a traditional CRT TV. With a viewing time of 5 hours a day and a phosphor half-life rating of 50,000, you might expect 27 YEARS of usable life fromt he plasma. In a nutshell, Plasma TVs are fine and, if taken care of, will offer a lifespan potentially greater than that of a traditional CRT TV.* Avoid static images for a long time (TiVo menu, DVD menu, video game with no one playing). * Turn off the TV when not in use * Don't use the TV in "Vivid" settings except maybe when you are trying to watch a show in the middle of the day with lots of ambient light * Tune the TV picture (Plasma, CRT, LCD, OLED, SED, Rear-projection, or otherwise), using "Digital Video Essentials" DVD from Joe Kane productions for optimal picture. but i prefer LCD TV.

I have a plasma Tv so i choose plasma.

Look for the no.1080pi or hd.only tv or plasmas given with this no. play's full high definition picture.everything else only look's like high definition.
