Advantage PLASMA
LCD & Plasma TV are both hang-on-the-wall TV technologies. But they have very little else in common. They work very differently, and the results both have there pros and cons. Here is a round up of the advantages of each technology.
Why Plasma?
Grey scale response / contrast- Plasma technology can deliver superior subtleties - which means plasmas can generally give you more detail in dark picture ares.
Response Times - Response time is the amount of time, measured inmilliseconds that it takes for a pixel to go from inactive to active back again. Although the latest LCD screens have made big mprovements in this area, plasma is still considerably better, so its picture quality generally sufferes less.
Size - LCD is catching up, but it's still cheaper for manufacturers to use Plasma for really big screen sizes - certainly 42" and above - than its for them to use LCD. On the other hand, plasma isn't really viable at sizes smaller than 32".
Viewing Angle - LCD screen frequently boast viewing angles of anywhere upto 175 degrees. But our experience suggests that these figures are very optimistic, as LCD pictures start to lose lots of contrast & colour at angles much less than those quoted. Pretty much all plasma screens, on the other hand, retain their quality upto around 160 degrees.
Colour Saturation - Plasma traditionally scores high here because of the way it blocks light, turning off pixels when they're not needed so that no stray light can dilute its coours. With LCD there's always some stray light in the mechanism, which adds a greying influence to colours.
