What are the main differences between Plasma TVs and LCD TVs?
I’m looking to purchase a new television. I’ve talked to a couple people about the main differences between plasma and lcd. I still don’t have an answer as to why LCDs are so much more expensive. Can anyone give me the most important differences between the two technologies?
LCD’s are expensive mostly because they’re much more expensive and difficult to manufacture than Plasma screens.
Both LCD and Plasma offer almost-equal picture quality. It also depends on a few circumstances, like the build quality of the TV itself, and room lighting conditions.
In larger sizes, plasma will have the advantage. LCD has the edge in smaller sizes. In viewing quality, plasma has an advantage when displaying blacks, but the nature of plasma makes it better for viewing in environments where you can control the lighting. LCDs offer anti-glare and will produce a better visual quality in brighter rooms. The latest generation of LCDs have all but removed the “viewing angle” issue. However, some less-known and cheaper brands of LCD displays will not have as good of a viewing angle. For a long time LCDs were the winner when it came to resolution (pixels per screen size). Plasma, however, is closing the gap in the 50-inch display range.
