Plasma Or LCD? - A Comprehensive Review

When we talk about the size, plasma TVs would earn points. At present, they are larger but it is still important to note that LCDs are close behind and size difference varies only by a few inches. LCD TVs are now catching up and have introduced their 63 inch units. Panasonic had even produced a 103-inch television but unfortunately it has not been introduced for consumer use.

When we talk about viewing angles, LCD TVs earn the points. But then again, their difference can be very little and can be considered immaterial. Plasma televisions have up to 160 degrees viewing angle while LCD televisions have up to 175 degrees viewing angles.

Another point of comparison is screen refresh rates. Both television styles vary slightly in the screen refresh rate. Plasma screen technology displays refresh and controls rapid movements in video similar to the cathode ray tube type of television. LCDs, on the other hand, have an improved refresh rate because the screen technology is designed for data display.

When weight is of the matter, LCDs are comparatively lighter, more portable, and less expensive to ship. LCDs are observed to be less fragile and have a more durable screen than the plasma TV. Plasma TVs are known to be very fragile and are quite hard to ship. Likewise, installation for Plasma TVs should be administered by a professional. This is not the case for the LCD TV.

However, product lifespan may be hard to compare. Plasma TVs usually have half the lifespan of an LCD TV, which is 30,000 to 60,000 hours. The traditional CRT television has a reported half life of 25,000 hours. Therefore, comparing them in this category may clearly define who the winner is.
