which of the tv forms in your opinion is the best? LCD TV or PLASMA TV?

Question

what is the difference between the two? what do you mean by HD ready?

Answer 1

Each has advantage and disadvantages; here is a summary of the differences:

Picture quality of plasma is brighter, better color, better blacks than LCD. (There is something about looking directly at glowing phosphors!)

Sharpness is the same for equivalent pixel counts. Some newer LCDs have 1080 x 1920 resolution, most plasmas still in the 720 x 1280 range.

Plasma is heavier and uses more power than flat panel LCD.

There are reports that plasmas are not as reliable or they don't last as long, but that is no longer true with the latest models. Plasma phosphors dim slowly over time (but not as fast as CRT phosphors); but direct view LCDs use flourescent lamps which also dim and eventually burn out (some are replaceable). Projection LCD sets have bulbs of limited life, but are replaceable and the lifetime is a few thousand hours of viewing.

Plasmas are subject to burn-in. A stationary image left on the screen for a long time could produce a permanent ghost image. The most risk is when viewing a lot of 4:3 ratio pictures (non-HD), which are displayed with vertical dark areas on the left and right to fill in the wide screen. There are ways to minimize this, however. many sets have a "stretch" mode which widens the picture to fill the whole screen. This could also be a problem with extended playing of video games if there is a background image that remains stationary.

Plasmas come in larger sizes, although large flat panel LCDs are coming out, but they are expensive. LCD projectors can be 70".

LCD contrast and brightness can be reduced when viewing from off-center (both flat and projector, but sets will vary).


HD ready means the set does not have a built-in tuner to receive over-the-air broadcast. If you hook up to digital cable or satellite, it doesn't need one. However, FCC regulations require nearly all new TV sets to have digital tuners, and while these do not have to be HDTV tuner, they always are (if the set is an HDTV). So, "HDTV ready" will soon be a thing of the past.

Answer 2

Plasma. not in ordinary words do Plasma TVs have extra constructive "community" evaluation ratios(5,000,000:a million on some 2010 fashions) then liquid crystal reveal(including LED), they actually have swifter reaction situations(.001ms) and swifter refresh expenses(600hz). Making them the great at generating the sharpest and smoothest action available. Unbeatable in truth! activities, video clips & gaming received't seem extra constructive on something else! As for such issues as burn-in...do not worry about it! immediately's Plasma TVs have more recent gases, pixel orbiting technologies and reveal savers to help make burn-in not available! in addition they don't use mass parts of electricity like human beings nevertheless imagine. they're really reminiscent of similar sized liquid crystal reveal's now(except LED)! I noticeably recommend a Plasma television from Panasonic. they're the most good style i have considered therefore far!

Answer 3

if u watch the same channel for a while and there is there logo in the corner or sports with the score bar thing or video games it will burn that into the tv and will never go awat even if u change the channel and unplug the tv get LCD! they are the same type as flatpannel and laptop monitors.
