e550 plasma is much superior than the es5600 anybody here could say the same thing...kaso lang ang plasma you really have to take care of it, you know those annoying static images from the tv stations could cause image retention in time. basically having a plasma screen means you really care about the exact tone of the movie( contrast, deep blacks,color accuracy, saturation, motion) you know stuff like that, as what the film projectors or movie theaters present it. Only plasma screen could somehow mimic that characteristics in our home, some led screens(high-end ex. series 7 to 8 ) could do that but somehow they are expensive for some other folks.
