Both plasma televisions and LCD TVs can give you a big picture within a thin case, but there are some differences between the two. While larger (up to 63 inches) and smaller (down to 32 inches) screen sizes are available, the vast majority of plasma TVs have either a 42- or 50-inch screen. Mainstream LCD TVs top out at around 45 inches and get as small as 8 inches, but the most popular sizes are 32 and 37 inches. Larger screen sizes are available, but they are more expensive than a comparably sized plasma TV (although the cost difference is beginning to narrow.) Plasma TVs are known for their better ability to display dark colors as compared to LCD TVs. This makes them a good choice for movie watching, where dark scenes are common, and it is the reason why most reviews say plasma is a better choice for a home theater.
LCD TVs appear brighter, but they don't usually display details in dark scenes as well. If your room is brightly lit, an LCD TV may be a better choice. Plasma TVs can sometimes look washed out in a bright room, and they often have problems with reflections. Plasma TV screens have wider viewing angles than LCD flat panel televisions. That means you can sit at more of an angle and still get the best picture. With most TV technologies, including plasma TV, the picture stays the same from virtually any angle. With LCD TVs, however, sitting too far to one side will result in a loss of brightness. In addition, LCD televisions can sometimes have problems with moving images. That's because it takes LCD pixels longer than plasma pixels to switch color. For more information on comparisons between LCD and Plasma TVs, check out Plasma-hdtv.info. |
