Difference Between LCD And Plasma Televisions

For the same visual result the technology in LCD and plasma are very different. Don't let yourself be deceived with the fact that both are flat and thin because there are lots of differences between lcd and plasma televisions.

The Plasma tv is outclassing the LCD on the size of the display, a better contrast, colour accuracy and saturation and very important a better tracking of motion with almost no lag when it comes to fast moving images. When it comes to price the plasma TV's wins by far in this competition so this could be a decisive factor.

On the other had the LCD has its own advantages when compared with Plasma. The main advantage is the big life span of such sets and the fact that the light source can be replaced with ease. An interesting thing could be that LCD doesn't have any problems with high-altitudes and the running temperature is smaller.

At last if you want to get technical then we should talk about the making technology. The Plasma TV is based on the lightbulb and the display consists of cells. But all in one this has the same disadvantages as the traditional televisions (heat and screen burn).

The LCD making technology is far different. The LCD are made of two layers polarized and glued together so the big advantage could be the less power consuming and the lack of radiation around it, all this because there are no phosphors that light up.
