The buying of large-screen TVs has absolutely skyrocketed lately. It
seems that everyone wants one – and with good reason. The large-screen
TV has come a long way from those faded-out behemoths of old that took
up half your living room and never really produced a picture of decent
quality. Now, however, especially in combination with HDTV, you can get
not only a nice, large picture, but a crisp, clean one too.
Once
you decide that you’re ready for a large-screen TV, you quickly
discover that you only really have two main options – a plasma TV or an
LCD TV. Plasma TVs were first on the scene, but the recent mass
production of LCD TVs by major manufactures has put LCD TVs pretty much
on equal footing with plasmas. That said, you will still have to make a
choice.
If you’re like most people, you not only have no idea
how the two differ, you don’t even know the areas you should be
considering in order to determine how they differ. But they do indeed
differ, and knowing the difference is extremely important if you’re
going to get the TV that’s right for you.
You can essentially
boil the differences between plasmas and LCDs into twelve basic points.
In some areas, plasmas will win out. In other areas, LCDs will win out.
In yet other areas, it will depend on your own personal taste in order
to decide who wins out.
The twelve ways plasma TVs and LCD TVs differ are the following:
1.
The first is a technical issue, and may seem a little boring, but it
really does affect other areas. Plasmas TVs are made of chemical
compounds called phosphors. LCD TVs use millions of liquid crystals.
2.
The next section is related to how big the TVs are and the availability
of larger sizes. You have a wider selection of larger-size TVs with
plasmas (though LCDs are catching up).
3. The next section is
“small size,” which is also important. Plasmas don't come in smaller
sizes, which you will need for places like the kitchen.
4. Next is viewing angle. Plasmas tend to have a wider viewing angle (though, again, LCDs are catching up).
5.
Although the manufacturers may not like to admit it, each “can” suffer
from certain problems. Plasmas can suffer from burn-in effect; LCDs
don't.
6. Another problem area, but for LCDs, is “delay.” LCDs
can produce a jagged figure when in motion. Plasmas tend to do better.
HDTV improves this dramatically for both.
7. The next area is
life span. You can replace the light source with an LCD, thereby
bringing your original picture back. With plasmas you can't.
8.
In the next few sections, the theme of “picture quality” is considered.
First, color: LCDs produce sharp, lively colors. Plasmas produce warmer
and more accurate colors.
9. Next is brightness levels and the
TVs ability to handle different lighting. LCDs tend to do better in
bright-light conditions.
10. Also related to picture quality is “black levels.” Plasmas tend to produce blacker blacks.
