what is the diff betweed lcd or plamsa?

Answer 1

If you mean in picture quality, LCD has more colours and more defined colour. Plasma has a longer life.

Answer 2

Plasma! - simply speaking, the technology relies on chemical compounds called phosphors. Each pixel is made up of three phosphors displaying additive primary colours - Red, Green and Blue (RGB). When struck with an electron beam the phosphors emit light that can be controlled by the intensity of the beam to create the images we see on screen.
Unlike plasmas, LCDs don't emit any light themselves. Instead they use millions of crystals suspended in liquid between two transparent panels. A bright fluorescent backlight is then passed through the crystals, which are instructed to allow it or prevent it from passing to create an image, while colours are controlled by a filter.
Plasma picture performance and price beats LCD for the moment, but LCDs are improving at a faster rate and prices are steadily falling.

Answer 3

plasmas tv has a half life of60000 hours they are little light bulbs that turn on when the color is needed they are full of different gases up to five types they dont leak and no you cant refill them lcd tv have light source that is always on and the have three color panels they open and shut like a shutter that opens and let the color pixel turn on the color that is needed this is simple for simple people they also last 60000 hours lcd are small sizes from 8" up to now 50" plasmas start at 37" on up, lcd have ahard time with dark blacks plasma win that battle lcd dont keep up with real fast moving items like sports they can show pixels plasmas can burn an imaged in but big screen have been suffering from that for 30 years so if you dont pause very long its no big deal

Answer 4

Just changed from a 6 month old plasma to a HD LCD with Sky HD, incredible, even normal channels are so much better.

Answer 5

Plasma television technology is based loosely on the fluorescent lightbulb. The display itself consists of cells. Within each cell two glass panels are separated by a narrow gap in which neon-xenon gas is injected and sealed in plasma form during the manufacturing process. The gas is electrically charged at specific intervals when the Plasma set is in use. The charged gas then strikes red, green, and blue phosphors, thus creating a television image. Each group of red, green, and blue phosphors is called a pixel (picture element).

Although Plasma television technology eliminate the need for the bulky picture tube and electron beam scanning of traditional televisions, because it still employs the burning of phosphors to generate an image, Plasma televisions still suffer from some of the drawbacks of traditional televisions, such as heat generation and screen-burn of static images.

The ADVANTAGES of Plasma over LCD are:

1. Larger screen size availability.

2. Better contrast ratio and ability to render deeper blacks.

3. Better color accuracy and saturation.

4. Better motion tracking (little or no motion lag in fast moving images).

The DISADVANTAGES of Plasma vs LCD include:

1. Plasma TVs are more susceptible to burn-in of static images.

2. Plasma TVs generate more heat than LCDs, due to the need to light of phosphors to create the images.

3. Does not perform as well at higher altitudes.

4. Shorter display life span (about 30,000 hours or 8 hrs of viewing a day for 9 years) than LCD. This can vary according to other environmental and use factors.

LCD television ADVANTAGES over Plasma include:

1. No burn-in of static images.

2. Cooler running temperature.

3. No high altitude use issues.

4. Increased image brightness over Plasma.

5. Longer display life (about 60,000 hours - at which time all you may need to do is replace the light source, not the entire set). This can vary according other environmental and use factors.

DISADVANTAGES of LCD vs Plasma televisions include:

1. Lower contrast ratio, not as good rendering deep blacks.

2. Not as good at tracking motion (fast moving objects may exhibit lag artifacts).

3. Not as available in large screen sizes above 37-inches

4. Although LCD televisions do not suffer from burn-in susceptibility, it is possible that individual pixels on an LCD televisions can burn out, causing small, visible, black or white dots to appear on the screen. Individual pixels cannot be repaired, the whole screen would need to be replaced at that point, if the individual pixel burnout becomes annoying to you.

5. LCD televisions are typically more expensive than equivalent-sized Plasma televisions, especially when comparing EDTV Plasmas to HDTV-LCD Televisions.

Answer 6

lcd liquid crystal display longer lasting than a plasma and cheaper to buy. lcd all the way

Answer 7

plasma is awesome but it doesn't last long enough like lcd. Lcd only has a few more years on plasma though

Answer 8

Plasma is ephemeral, whereas lcd is liquid. Oh, you're talking about... never mind.

Answer 9

about 1000 euros
