Plasma TV vs LCD TV
For those seeking to buy their first flat panel TV
display device, it is easy to be confused with conflicting and counter claims by
different interest parties. So what is the truth in the competition between LCD
and Plasma TV? Here's are some pointers before you rush out and buy your flat
panel TV on impulse . Just consider and keep them in mind when choosing.
Actually, both types of technologies have their pros and cons.
Let's start with various factors.
Picture Quality
Plasma TVs have better contrast ratios and show better blacks
than an LCD TV. That means in a dark scene, you are able to see images more
clearly defined. This is because in LCD technology, liquid crystals are unable
to shut off all the light completely due to the presence of the backlight
resulting in light leakage and therefore it is impossible to get absolute black.I understand plasma TVs are able to produce better color
saturation than LCD TVs. Generally, the native resolution of LCD TVs are higher
than that of plasma TVs so you may get greater details when watching your
programs especially in high definition video sources.
Screen Size
If you looking for a really big screen, then you have to go
for plasma TV
as they are available in sizes up to 60 inches. LCD TV on the hand come in
maximum sizes of up to 40 inches. If you compare prices on both technologies for
the same screen size, you will also realise LCD TVs are more expensive.
Life span
Digital Cameras + Photo Printers = Quality Instant Photographs
In the 1950's and 1960's Polaroid's instant cameras were all the rage. You could shoot a picture and have the finished print in a minute or so. The quality wasn't that great, but hey, you had your pictures now! Today with digital cameras and high-tech photo printers, we have quality instant photos virtually indistinguishable from processed prints. And unlike the old instant cameras, you have the digital equivalent of a negative for future use.
