Differences betwen Plasma TV and LCD

LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY TELEVISION (LCD TV).

LCD TV uses LCD technology for its visual production. Liquid Crystal Display, or LCD is thin, flat display device comprising a number of pixels of color or monochrome arranged door of a light source or reflector. In color LCDs each pixel is divided into three cells or subpixels that are colored red, green and blue. Each cell or sub can be controlled independently dispose of thousands or millions of possible colors for each pixel. LCD can do for high-definition television excellent visualization.

LCD-good

1. Excellent Color Reproduction-LCDs can display millions of colors with precision.

2. Multitransport LCD TVs have a plethora of connectivity options. They usually include inputs for composite video, S-video, High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) and the computer in the field.

3. With No-Burn In LCDs, there is no problem of Burn Ins Some televisions, based on phosphors such as CRTs and plasmas can experience Burn In phantom where images are permanently burned into the screen.

4. Intrinsically progressive-LCDs use of millions of tiny transistors that can be controlled individually by the "brains" inside the screen. While LCDs can easily handle progressive scan sources.

5. LCDs high-resolution can display high-definition content with the resolutions of 1366x768. The highest resolution achieved in a liquid crystal display is 1920x1080. 1080 p is also called Full High Definition while the 720P is called high-definition.

LCD-bad

1. Cher-LCD are great, but they are not cheap. ACL more expensive than plasmas per inch.

2. Reproduction of blacks poor-LCD tend to produce gray, not black.

3. Angle of view limited-LCDs generally have poor viewing angle. However, there was a dramatic improvement on this front with the latest LCDs realization of a wide viewing angle of 178 degrees.

4. Slow response time-LCDs have response times longer than Plasmas.For example, when moving the mouse too fast on the LCD several sliders can be seen. This is also known as Ghosting Effect. But this problem seems to have been addressed with the latest LCD TVs with response times as low as 8ms.

5. Low-contrast Contrast ratio is the ratio between the intensity of the brightest lights in the dark the darkest. LCDs are relatively lower than the ratios contrast Plasmas.

PLASMA TELEVISION

A plasma screen contains millions of cells filled with gas (one for each pixel of the image) sandwiched between two pieces of glass. A grid zaps these cells and causes ionize gas (gas and ionized plasma is - hence the name). The ionized gas, in turn, cause a layer of phosphorus on the spectator side of the layer of glass illuminated. Plasma combine a thin and compact chassis with a really big screen. Despite their compact dimensions Plasmas are available in 42 +, 50 + and 60 + inches.

Plasma TVs - Good

1. Excellent brightness plasma-not based on a light bulb shines through or thought of something (such as an LCD or DLP system does). Plasma brightness is even better than the CRT, in a certain way because the picture is uniformly bright across the screen.

2. The high-resolution plasma TVs have these beautiful high resolutions (this image and smooth) they look at life.

3. Progressive in the wild-All pixels on the screen light up simultaneously. You can have progressive HDTV sources (such as 720p) and non-HDTV sources (such as progressive scan DVD players) displayed to full advantage on a plasma HDTV.

4. Wide Viewing Angle-Plasmas have a viewing angle wider compared to LCDs. Plasma displays have a good image, even when you are sitting in "off-axis" (not perpendicular to the surface of the screen). It is a huge advantage for smaller rooms, where the audience can sit relatively far on the side of the screen, with the widest angle.

Plasma TVs - Poor

1. Burn-- Plasmas rely on phosphorus to display video. This can cause Burn - where ghost images are permanently burned into the screen.

2. Lifetime short-Another phenomenon while phosphorus-based display system is that the phosphors eventually "wear out or lose their brightness. The process is slow and subtle, but sometimes unavoidably .

3. Less than perfect color reproduction - Although plasma screens can produce a range of colors breathtaking, many series have the tendency to make the color red-orange as true red.

4. Poor reproduction of black plasma far in the field of video reproduction in black. Most plasmas do a little better than LCD TVs black reproduction, but they are far from certain CRT and projection systems.



Other factors such as price, weight, power usage, performance at high altitudes and transportation are other considerations which apply on a person to person. So, I will simply outline the overall differences in these areas.

Pricing: plasma are still significantly cheaper than LCD in sizes of 32 ".

Weight: LCDs are much lighter and as such easier to set up and install. So… plasma will probably require almost a professional installer.

Power Usage: LCD TVs use an average of half of the plasma Use

High altitude performance: high altitude can affect the performance of plasma television screens because the gas inside each pixel is stressed, and must work harder to accomplish. So…… LCD TVs are better at high altitude (6500 feet and above).

Transportation: LCDs are lighter and less fragile than plasma screens of navigation easier and less expensive.

At the same time, because technology Plasma and LCD TVS progressing rapidly we can find some of these differences (such as size) very minimal, in the near future.
