Both Plasma and LCD technology, an attempt to deliver the same (kind of like, in any case) the result, both used in TVs, which are flat and thin. Here you can read side by side list of what each can offer that the other does not.

Plasma TV Review

1. Plasma displays consist of cells that contain glass panels. There’s a narrow gap between the panels filled neon xenon gas in plasma form. This gas will be charged with a plasma TV in the use of electric. This is a charged gas strikes the phosphor (red, green and blue) the production of television images. Each red, green and blue phosphor picture element, better known as a pixel.

2. This Plasma TVs burning of phosphors to generate an image. Hence, it has some negative qualities of traditional television sets, namely: you get heat and screen recording of static images.

3. The screen does emit radiation.

Review LCD TV

1. LCDs are made of layers (2) of transparent material that polarized and ‘glued together. One of the sectors covered by the substance (polymer), which contains the individual liquid crystals. When electric current is passed through individual crystals, they allow light to pass through or block it. So once you have the panel set up correctly, you put the light source (fluorescent lamps) Net to him and creates the image LCD to become visible.

2. Liquid crystals produce less heat than CRT phosphors or plasma TVs. As a light source that makes the image visible uses less energy.

3. The screen emits no radiation.

Here is a list of advantages and disadvantages of Plasma and LCD TV technologies in relation to each other.

Plasma – the best contrast ratio
LCD – worse Contrast Ratio

Plasma – deep dark
LCD – less deep dark

Plasma – the better saturation
LCD – worse than saturated

Plasma – the best accuracy
LCD – worse accuracy

Plasma – burn in static images
LCD – no entry in the static image

Plasma – individual pixels do not burn (causing black or white spots, which can not be installed as individual pixels can not be fixed)
LCD da make individual pixels burn (causing black or white spots, which can not be installed as individual pixels can not be fixed)

Plasma – generates more heat
LCD – generates less heat

Plasma-consumes more energy
LCD consumes less energy

Plasma – have problems at high altitudes
LCD – no issues at high altitudes

Plasma – weighs more (if the screen size is the same)
LCD – weighs less (if the screen size is the same)

Advantages that have disappeared or are close to

Plasma used to have better tracking (or at least behind the fast moving images).
LCD used to have a backlog fast moving images. Nevertheless, in these days, LCD TVs, which have 120 Hz refresh rate and 240Hz Plasma processing match in motion tracking quality.

Plasma is used for the latter is much less. However, new technology that has changed, so now Plasma TVs have a life expectancy of 60,000 hours.
LCD used, will last longer, more than 60000 hours life expectancy.

Plasma – used to only available in larger sizes.
LCD – will not use available in large amounts.

Plasma – still cheaper than the rule, the same size LCD TVs, in particular EDTV Plasma TVs HDTV vs LCD TVs. However, the gap is shrinking. With a resolution of 1080p plasma TVs from 37 to 42 inches, usually more expensive than the same size, with a resolution of 1080p LCD TVs.

LCD – usually more expensive than the same size, plasma TVs, especially HDTV LCD TVs against EDTV plasma. Nevertheless, the gap is shrinking. 1080p resolution LCD TVs from 37 to 42 inches, usually cheaper than the same size, 1080p plasma TV.

Finally, do not be a problem. Some of them (plasma TV bodies) indicate that the number of LCD television containing mercury. It’s true, but the amount is small and does not come into contact with users. LED LCD televisions do not have mercury at all.
