Comparing LCD And Plasma Televisions

There are many televisions on the market today, with several different types of displays. However, the two types of television most often discussed are the LCD (or Liquid Crystal Display) television and the Plasma TV. Each of these two types has its own unique advantages and drawbacks.

The LCD televisions use individual lights to create the on screen images. These televisions are much lighter than the average television and have a life span of around fifteen years. Although the LCD produces a high level of brightness the contrast and black levels are part of the negative side of these televisions.

Since individual lights are used on LCD televisions, they must block out light to create black. Another downside to the LCD televisions is that images that are fast moving will appear pixelated. So watching sports or fast paced action scenes may be a little unpleasant to the eyes. Although the newer the models have been manufactured to handle the situation much better these pixelated images do occur, just on a less frequent basis.

With a plasma TV, it is said that you will have the best brightness and contrast rates, along with some of the truest looking blacks possible. Plasmas are only available in larger sizes, 37 inches and higher, however are the more affordable choice when you are looking for a 42 inch television or larger. Another great thing about plasma televisions are that they can be viewed from any angle in the room, without picture clarity failing. This makes it simpler to place in your room without having to rearrange you furniture so that everyone can have a clear view.

On the other hand, Plasma televisions do have one significant drawback, which is also the reason Plasma is not often used for computer monitors. If a still image, like a DVD player logo, for example, is left on the screen for a long period of time, there is a chance that this image can \”burn in\” to the Plasma screen, leaving a permanent \”ghost\” after-image of that still picture. LCD TVs also occasionally suffer from stuck pixels, but it is rarely as severe as Plasma burn in. Plasma televisions typically have a longer life than LCD TVs, lasting up to 5 years longer on average with regular use and they do not suffer from the blockiness or pixelation common in LCD televisions with higher refresh rates.
