There are two types of TV/Televisions technology that have become increasingly popular over the last several years, and are the new gold standard for televisions everywhere - Plasma and LCD, or liquid crystal display. These two technologies are often confused, and while they produce similar results, they are very different from each other and have different sets of pros and cons. In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the advantages and disadvantages of plasma televisions, as well as how they compare when put up against LCD displays.

Plasma televisions have a lot of advantages over standard TVs. Namely, their ability to be made into fairly large displays (often up to one hundred and fifty inches diagonally) and they are also quite thin (most plasma TVs are less than five inches thick). This makes them significantly lighter than CRT televisions, despite the fact that their screens tend to be larger. They can also be made into a widescreen shape, allowing viewers to watch movies intended for widescreen without shrinking the image size and creating black bars around the video. They offer a much higher level of resolution, image sharpness, and overall quality when it comes to both still and moving pictures.

Plasma TVs do suffer from a few issues, although these are pretty minor when compared to their advantages. For example, plasma televisions can experience image burning after long periods of time of having the same image on a certain part of the screen. This is due to certain pixels being overused for long periods of time, and thus losing some of their luminosity. This is not a problem for most home televisions because they do not frequently display the same unmoving image. They can be somewhat fragile, although their displays are surrounded by plate glass, so touching the screen is not an issue.

When compared to LCD televisions, plasma televisions end up slightly ahead in some ways, and slightly behind in others. For example, both types of technology have very high resolutions and image quality, as well as the ability to display many types of colors. Plasma televisions have slightly better contrast, as they are able to make their dark scenes somewhat darker than on an LCD. They also have better viewing angles, allowing them to be seen clearly in a larger arc than LCD TVs. However, most LCDs are more energy efficient, and can provide a longer life span.
