PLASMA TV Vs LCD TV

Plasma TV

1. Plasma television technology is based on the fluorescent light bulb concept.

2. The display consists of cells and in each cell two glass panels are separated by a narrow gap in which neon-xenon gas is injected and sealed in plasma form during the manufacturing process.

3. Although Plasma TV eliminates the bulky picture tube and electron beam scanning of traditional televisions, it still employs the burning of phosphors to generate an image

LCD TV

1. They are made of two layers of transparent material, which are polarized, and are "glued" together.

2. LCD crystals do not produce their own light, so an external light source, such as florescent bulb is needed for the image created by the LCD to become visible to the viewer.

3. Less power is needed for operation and the light source in an LCD television generates less heat than a Plasma TV

4. The fast moving series is the 32" LCD TV

Why LCD TV is better

It has no burn-in of static images. It runs in a much cooler temperature. It has increased image brightness compared to Plasma TV. It is much lighter compared to Plasma TV and most importantly, it has longer display life.
