^ resolution does matter. and quality is way more important than screen size, cause once you buy such a thing, and if you realize it, with time you start regretting it.
the best way is to go to the store, watch live picture quality of both the 32" full hd one and the 42" hd ready one. and buy the one which looks best to you :)

hey DO NOT get a plasma!
get an IPS supported LCD.. it's almost like an LED but wayy cheaper and is reliable too.
i got a Panasonic LCD with Japanese IPS panel abt a month ago for a good price.. it's mashALLAH working great

check this video for IPS technology:

and this aint fake.. it's practical reality.. IPS is the father of current conventional bravia and samsung lcd models available in the local market today
42" IPS supported is gonna be much more expensive than a plasma but definitely worth-it!
goodluck though :)

LED is best quality and most expensive, then LCD then Plasma is cheapest!!!
If you wanna game then it's better to go for a Full HD LCD TV.If you don't have enough money then save up for a while.You won't regret the results.

If you are gonna use the TV primarily for gaming then get an LCD, If you're gonna watch movies then get an LED and finally if you're gonna watch cable a lot on it get a Plasma. Also gaming on a Plasma is a big no no, There is a huge quality difference when playing fast paced games. Need any more help? Shoot me a VM.

yes leds are better than lcds. i think plasma tvs are outdated. they were good when lcds and leds were not available.

    The only valid thing from his pov he said in the video is AC dead since Black Flag. According to woke police that game was woke too. Welsh man in West Indies. So atleast he's consistent I guess lol

    Nope. They have a very valid case. The above video explains it all.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    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.
