Plasma HDTV

Change the way you used to watch the television with the new TV on the block that has made the conventional analog television sets run for their survival. We are talking about a plasma HDTV. It’s a new technology that has altogether changed the whole scenario. The High Definition Plasma Television is here, that is what popularly known as Plasma HDTV, that has given a new dimension to the TV watching experience. But, is the technology worth of receiving so much of praise. In this case you have to see it to believe it. As the name itself reflects, the HDTV is a high definition TV that changes the picture quality by bringing more life to it and thus has many advantages over the conventional analog TV set.

Lets talk about what you get when you go in for the Plasma HDTV.

Much Higher resolution: this is where the Plasma HDTV can beat any competition coming its way. Compared to the conventional TV sets, the Plasma display devices have much higher resolution, and are capable of displaying full HDTV and DTV signals as well as XGA, SVGA and VGA signals from a computer.

Elimination of scan lines: Contrary to the Plasma TV the conventional TV monitors use an electron beam to scan the picture tube at regular intervals that may produce the scan lines, in a standard NTSC TV. Plasma displays in this case, include built-in line doubling to improve image quality when switched to standard analog video sources such as TV broadcasts and VCR tapes.

Exceptional color accuracy: Another great advantage is the exceptional color accuracy that is achieved through displaying 16.77 million colors that can bring any picture to life.

Wide-screen aspect ratio: To bring back the experience of watching films in theatre, Plasma display devices have a wide-screen 16:9 aspect ratio, that allows the DVD-Video movies to be viewed in wide-screen format.

Perfect flat screen: is another biggest advantage with Plasma screens. This helps to eliminate the edge distortion that can occur in normal displays.



Uniform screen brightness: the realism can be achieved with this factor that also helps in soothing the eyes with the plasma displays illuminating every pixels evenly across the screen.

Slim space-saving design: a few inches thin, hag it on any wall you like and it gives you the installation options as never before. Don’t bother about the standalone way if you don’t want to keep it like that. The best part is the can match your décor, and actually increase the style statement of your home.



Wide viewing angles: of 160 degrees allows a larger number of viewers to enjoy perfect image reproduction irrespective of their position in the room.

Universal display capability: makes them include and play a wide video formats. Most of the plasma HDTV ware compatible with composite video (NTSC, PAL SECAM) (standard RCA jacks), S-video and component video inputs, plus one or more RGB inputs to accept the video output from a computer.

Resistance to magnetic fields: as they do not use the electron beams like the conventional TV sets, they are unfazed by the effects of magnetic fields. That is why it can be placed in a close proximity to any device that produces magnetic fields, for instance, speakers.

You want a flat screen TV that’s HD ready and you have heard about Lcd and Plasma TV.

But which is better, LCD or Plasma?

What is the difference?

Your requirements will actually help you make the decision.

What Screen Size do you require? Where are you going to put your TV?

LCD (liquid crystal display) – LCD TVs are becoming the most popular technology. They have many advantages such as low power consumption, ability to display the highest resolutions (1080p), LCDs are flat, many are wall mountable. The disadvantage of an LCD is that their ability to show contrast is less than some other technologies like plasma. LCDs in the past were also slower to refresh (not so with the current models). These disadvantages are quickly disappearing. Today’s LCD HDTVs have greatly improved on contrast and refresh speed. The latest LCD technology is 120hz. Most LCDs are silent with no moving parts or fans. LCD’s are brighter than Plasma HDTVs and so are better suited in well lit rooms during the day than plasmas.

Plasma displays are very popular as well. They have higher contrast than LCDs (although that gap is closing), and can display HDTV with stunning clarity. Plasma sets also display fast action (sports, action movies) better. The disadvantages of plasma are that they take more electricity than LCDs, and can generate more heat. Many have built in fans. Plasma screens are susceptible to screen burn-in (new models compensate with various screen-saving methods). Heavier than LCDs.

Some HDTV’s displays have a more limited viewing angle than others. They lose contrast and become hard to read at some viewing angles and they have more contrast and are easier to read at others. Generally the higher the viewing angle, the better. This is especially important when a group of people are watching an HDTV at the same time. Modern High Definition TVs have much better viewing angles, and it is not as big an issue as it was in the past.

You could count on at least 20 years for an LCD TV screen life, and a Good 10 years for the Plasma screen life.

When purchasing an HDTV you will see familiar top level brands such as Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, Toshiba, Pioneer, etc. Then you will see 2nd tier brands that sell at substantial discounts to the top brands. We recommend only top tier brands for several reasons. One is that many of these 2nd tier brands offer poor servicing should something go wrong. Some charge you the freight to either ship the TV to them or back after repair. One brand we saw offers no parts after the one year warranty is up, so in effect it is a throwaway TV. Higher end TVs have better video processors for upconverting and reducing digital noise. For these reasons we believe that top tier brands are the best way to go even though there is a higher initial cost.

I also know where the LG 42″ LCD TV is sold, for $1029.00 and here is the description…
