The question on many peoples mind nowadays is should I get a Plasma or LCD flat screen television? Before making that decision you need to be informed on the differences and then weigh the pros and cons of each. Follow these steps to help you choose between an LCD or Plasma TV.
A plasma screen offers some benefits over an LCD. Plasma’s have better color accuracy, saturation, and deeper blacks. They also have better motion tracking.
A plasma screen offers many cons. Plasma’s have more of a chance to have static image burn-in. This means that if an image is displayed on the screen in a fixed spot for too long it will burn-in that image into the screen possibly permanently. Plasma’s have a shorter lifespan but will still last 8 hours a day for 9 years.
An LCD screen offers some benefits over a plasma screen. It emits less heat and has increased image brightness. It will last about 2 times as long as a plasma screen and will have no burn-in of static images.
LCD screens also have some disadvantages. LCD screens are typically slightly more expensive. With an LCD, it is possible that individual pixels could burn out, causing small black or white dots to appear on the screen. You would have to replace the entire screen to repair this. LCD’s tend to have a little drag, for example, if you were watching a baseball game on television, you may see a little white tail behind the ball as it flies across the screen. Determine which television meets your needs best and then come to a decision. Do some more research and talk to some people who have owned a plasma or LCD TV and ask them about their experience. You will be happy with whatever TV you choose because lets be honest, they are both pretty awesome. If you want this TV to last 20 years then you may want to go with an LCD. If you get new TV’s every 5-10 years then you may want to get a plasma TV and enjoy the more vibrant picture. When shopping for a TV, always check out the prices in the mail ads and the online pricing.
If you don’t take care of your TV, it doesn’t matter which one you get because you will probably run into problems.
