LCD And Plasma TVs Photography Shack Guide
LCD And Plasma TVs In Your Home
By Nikos L Maxwell
First and foremost before you cease reading, you should
know that most people cannot tell the difference, physically,
between LCD and plasma TVs. Most people can tell the
difference immediately between a standard cathode-ray
television and a flat screen television.
The difference is in the size, but it is more than
just the size of the screen. If a television is bulky,
then chances are pretty high that it is a cathode-ray
tv set. Without getting really technical, the inside
of the cathode-ray screen resembles a glass science
beaker laid on its side. The wide end is the part that
you watch and electrons are funneled from the narrow
end.
Difference Between LCD And Plasma TVs
The main difference in LCD and plasma TVs is in how
the picture is made. Plasma and LCD televisions both
have exceptional quality. In the plasma, two sheets
of glass are placed together and gas is pumped between
the two.
The particles are charged and give off green, red and
blue phosphors. The phosphors make pixels which make
up the picture. An LCD is two sheets of glass, but has
liquid crystal instead. Rather than charging the particles,
the crystal cells filter the colors.
Screen Burn On A Plasma Screen
So, which of the two are better? That is a matter of
opinion but plasma flat screen televisions do suffer
from excessive heat if left on too long and can have
what is called a "screen burn." A screen burn
occurs when a static image is left on the screen for
a long time and remains even when you change the channel.
This can also easily happen with computer monitors.
Yes, the information can be a little bit intimidating
and you may not even care about the inner workings of
the LCD and plasma TVs. But at least you will have the
knowledge and be able to tell the difference. Whatever
technology you decide you like better, you can now say
you made an informed decision based on the information
available.
If you have any other questions or still remain unclear
on the difference, then you can always seek out a sales
associate for more information. As well, you can go
online to a plasma forum and find out what others have
to say.

More High Definition TV Facts....
Why watch your favorite movies and sporting events
with a dull picture? High definition television can
completely revolutionize the way you see T.V. Bright,
vibrant colors and sharp, clear images make this the
future of television.
Cable and satellite providers are continually increasing
the number of high definition channels that they offer
because they know that their customers have seen the
difference. If you want to feel like you’re
in the theater or even at the game, high definition
television will take your viewing experience to the
next level.
One look at these sleek, streamlined beauties and
you will wonder how you ever watched television before
without one. Movies and television shows will stand
out. The color and sound are phenomenal and you can
get them in a range of sizes. Don't be the last one
of your friends and family that go plasma.
That big television you have in your living room
was once the most popular television type for its
time. Well...times have changed and its high time
you changed with them. A plasma TV is the way to go
now for great picture quality and sound.
The price may be a little steep but you can still
find great deals on plasma television for under five
hundred dollars. That is how much you probably paid
for that big black box you currently call a TV.
