LCDs and plasmas work with different technology, and understanding the technology behind each
will help us understand the pros and cons of each. Let's look at response time, since a better
response time produces better quality while playing high-speed video clips. The response time of
plasma screen TVs to compile high-speed video content is very fast compared to most LCD units.
However, in the long run, plasmas can encounter pixel burn out which will negatively affect your
viewing experience. To get maximum sharpness for the longest time, LCDs are considered to
have a slight advantage over plasmas.
The next factor to be taken into account is the screen size of plasma TVs versus LCD TVs.
Watching your favorite programs on a big screen is obviously more exciting than watching that
same show on a small screen TV. In the old days, even a 20 inch screen took up a lot of room
because of the use of electron guns to achieve better quality (hence the term "tube" televisions).
Now, after the arrival of flat screen TVs which consume very less space, you can fit a large TV in a
relatively small room. Usually, you can find a larger plasma TV for the same price as a slightly
smaller LCD screen.
Perhaps the most important difference between LCD and plasma screen televisions is the way
they behave in different lighting. Each type of HDTV has unique advantages and disadvantages
based on the lighting of the room that it's in. Though both LCD and plasma offer good quality
video, the plasma TV has the edge of delivering the better quality pictures in dark or dimly lit
rooms. That said, in rooms that are brightly lit (for example, by the sunlight) an LCD screen will
provide better viewing because it won't pick up glare like plasmas do. Think about where you will
watch your TV before choosing a plasma over an LCD.
The battle between LCD Vs Plasma for the top spot in the television manufacturing industry is an
ongoing one. We've discussed several important points of comparison between the two types.
Plasmas have shorter life spans compared to the LCD screens, which is a major disadvantage.
However, plasma screens are known for high quality pictures and amazing contrast ratios. For a
brighter room with natural, uncontrollable light, LCD screens are ideal. Of course, the lag (or
motion blur) in LCD screens when watching sports or fast paced action movie is something you
won't experience with a plasma TV.
All things considered, we recommend that you go with an LCD or LED TV since they are more
versatile, and the difference in picture isn't very noticeable. However, if you have a dark room with
no natural light, you may want to consider a plasma.
