Trying To Choose Between LCD Or Plasma TV
By Dave Kettner

When it comes time to upgrade your television there are many choices available including the standard cathode ray tube, projection, LCD or plasma TV. While one of the main considerations in choosing a television remains price, the picture quality and screen size is also important to individual viewers. In many cases the size of the unit plays a role in making a choice, and those looking for a television that remains closer to the wall the choice is narrowed down to a LCD or plasma TV.

the technology of both types still relatively new, LCD televisions initially cornered the market for smaller screen units, commanding a large segment of the computer monitor industry. The restriction of size in LCD monitors also held a slight edge over plasma technology until a few years ago when it was able to increase the screen size for about 40-inches. In making the choice between LCD or there are a few other factors to consider.

When large plasma televisions first hit the market, a 50-inch unit could cost as much as a used compact car, but better manufacturing and competition brought the prices down to where buying a LCD or did not have to focus entirely on price. Plasma units, however are still relatively unavailable in smaller sizes, a market the LCD technology still dominates.

Also consider the lighting in the room when choosing between LCD or as a LCD unit generally offers a brighter picture in bright light conditions, a plasma television usually has a higher contrast level providing a sharper image.

The technology of a LCD or is also different, and the  backlighting necessary for LCD’s sometimes does not provide for a true black image while plasma televisions can better show a solid black. The power demand of the LCD or is about even, although the brighter the image on a plasma television the more electricity will be used. Plasma televisions also have a tendency to suffer from burin-in, creating a ghost image over time, but newer technology is removing that from the equation.
