In this article I will develop the differences between Plasma and LCD.
Surely for those who do not understand the issue may not even know that today there are two kinds of technology involved in making flat panel displays.
is not the purpose of the article to explain its technological function and how each of these he manages to form each pixel of the screen to finally show the image, but to begin to tease apart the differences between LCD and Plasma, points strengths and weaknesses of each.
The idea is not to reach the conclusion which is better, because in fact neither is the absolute best, but rather each has certain advantages as the use (and our tastes) we can get more profit in your selection. Let's start
.
plasma
Strengths:
Lower cost per inch
The technological cost of manufacturing the plasma is considerably lower than the LCD, in some cases the difference is remarkable. We
encounter cases where the price we can get a 30-inch LCD TV we could opt for a 42-inch plasma.
Best presentation of black
plasma TVs have a contrast range of colors rather than the LCD.
In the case of black in the plasma is really pure black color in the LCD is a very dark gray, realism missing in some images, especially those that contain very dark shades and hues.
Best Angle of Vision
The plasma has a better viewing angle than the LCD image.
this mean?
What if the TV has a poor viewing angle, while the image look from the front (which would be more usual) we will not have any problems, see the image at 100% of its quality, but imagine that we are watching a movie with 6 friends and distribute the chairs horizontally in front of the TV.
probably the two people who are at the tip can not appreciate the image and look very dark, opaque.
The angle of vision offered by the Plasma is on average 160 degrees.
Disadvantages of Plasma:
Burn in - Phantom Effect
I think this would be the worst disadvantage of the plasma front lcd.
The burn in is what usually occurs in the plasma TV when an image remains static for a long time, producing a "ghost" in the image (as if left there, once changed the image)
This problem arises with the logos of TV channels, or any image that remains stationary on the tv.
lot is often said about it, such that this actually happens, the image must remain static for many hours (which we could solve simply by changing channels, so that these pixel static cool new ones to then return to it)
also depend on the quality of the plasma, so due to the large investment that already if you have to do to buy a plasma, choose a reputable manufacturer.
Manufacturers advised to reduce the chance of effect, besides not having many hours visualizing a static image, reducing contrast levels of the tv.
Today most come with decent plasma characteristics
antiburnOne of the best known is the "White Flash."
So it was interesting that in the case of buying a plasma, taking into account that has some method to combat it.
As a reference, it is said that the first 200 hours of the plasma are the most likely to be affected by the burn in effect.
life
Minor
Life in times of Plasma in significantly below the LCD. While both we offer thousands of hours of use. Are encouraged (variation according to the manufacturer) that plasma TVs offer us a range of useful life of up to 30,000 hours. While some LCD manufacturers claim double that figure.
not come in small sizes:
Due to the large pixel size of plasma, is a technology that is used only for TVs of 42 inches and up.
LCD Advantages:
Life
As explained in the previous section, the life of the lcd is higher than the plasma, very useful if we buy the TV with the idea of \u200b\u200bhaving many hours of use, or pretend to have the tv for many years.
not suffer from burn-in
While there are tips to reduce the possibility of the occurrence of this effect, as well as technologies incorporated into the TV to prevent / control it is appreciated that LCD TVs do not suffer from this problem.
comes in a full range of size
Unlike plasma, LCD TVs are available in a variety of different sizes, although more targeted technology to televisions prqueño-medium range, you can also get Lcd above 40 inches, but the cost is very high.
Best resolution
LCDs are easier to reach the high resolution plasma, this does not mean that the plasma TV can not have too, because if they can, but LCDs typically have a range of resolutions supported more higher than the plasma.
Lower energy
Not everything is picture quality, savings account also, and in this respect, the LCD than plasma, having a lot of power consumption lower.
LCD Disadvantages:
Increased cost
Unlike plasma, the cost per inch is higher.
Less realism in the presentation of dark colors
Especially in the black, due to their low contrast compared plasma representation of this color and its nuances is poorer .
Poor viewing angle depend
LCD model, but in this section is always one step ahead plasma TVs.
Summary:
I think he turned the idea of \u200b\u200bthe article, which was quickly draw us to know the strengths and weaknesses of each technology.
This should not be taken to strictly as many of these issues may vary to a greater or lesser extent depending on the model / manufacturer television in question.
Nothing better than having LCD or plasma TV in front of us and draw our own conclusions, of course I hope that after reading this will be a little more informed.
