Why is Plasma TV Better Than LCD TV?
The LCD TV is a great invention, with its polarized panels, while one panel is infused with liquid crystals. Your pass current through the crystals, while some block the light and some pass the light and together this creates the image to be displayed on your screen. The crystals are then fed light from an external source such as a florescent bulb thereby forming the viewable picture. Less power is needed for these functions than either a plasma or traditional television, as well as the light source used generates less heat. Also, LCD TV has absolutely no radiation emitted from the screen. Even though plasma TV may not enjoy being as radiation deficit on the whole as LCD TV, there are many more pluses to consider. Plasma TV enjoys a higher resolution than any of the other modes of TV transmission. Plasma TVs can display full HDTV and DTV signals in addition to XGA, SVGA and VGA signals that come from a computer. There are no scan lines with Plasma TV. The images projected onto the screen are digitally reproduced, unlike conventional televisions which scan the pictures from top to bottom at set intervals and then lighting the phosphorous glass and creating the image and with it visible scan lines. Furthermore, the plasma TVs usually include line-doubling that is built in to improve image quality for standard analog sources such as TV broadcasts and VCR tapes. Plasma TVs display exceptional color capabilities with 16.77 million colors possible thus creating more realistic image displays due to the ability to display a very large standard of color and shade gradations. Plasma televisions exhibit richer blacks than LCD screened TVs, and have a better motion tracking, which means there is less lag or no lag in fast moving images. Plasma TVs are also available in a wider range of large sizes than the LCD TVs, that can be mounted in multitudes of ways. You can hang them on a wall, or even from the ceiling, giving the effect of a real movie theater to your own home. The display screen of the Plasma TV allows a viewing angle of 160 degrees, meaning from top to bottom and from left to right, this is more than you get from the LCD display, plus this means more viewers will be able to view the proper reproduction from a bigger selection of locations in the room that hosts the television.
Some very interesting and insightful thoughts. I like this.
