LCD's are more reliable and consume less energy than Plasma tv's. Both have about the same life span, but plasma have a tendency to get burn-in (images left on the screen for hours after the tv has been shut off).

LCDs are more energy efficient and generally last longer.


Difference bet lcd and plasma tv?

Plasma TV uses very tiny cells and the gas in the cells emit the image. But plasma TVs get very hot extremely fast. LCDs are more energy efficient


Which is better LCD or plasma screen?

I all depends on your preferences. LCDs are better for colour as in cartoons and Plasmas are better for fast moving things as in Sports. They do not blur easily. Really they are both great Tvs. A2 Plasmas are more expensive, get hot, use high voltages, consume more power and delicate. LCDs are cheaper and more robust. Plasma's put out more light and have vibrant colors, but LCD technology is catchinmg up.


What TV is best for playing videogames lcd or plasma?

Plasma TVs are better because they offer absolutely no lag time compared to LCDs and they have the highest black levels. Plasmas will use slightly more power, but overall better picture quality. LCD TVs are slightly more inexpensive, but comparing them side to side with a Plasma You will see the difference in quality.


What are some special features of plasma HDTVs?

Plasma HDTVs can still display blacks more accurately than LCDs can, which means better detail in dark scenes. Plasmas offering a higher end range of screen sizes. Plasmas tend to be cheaper as well.


What makes a plasma so special?

Yes, there is a difference. LCD and plasma technologies continue to improve, but currently the largest television screens are made with plasma screens. Plasma screens produce dark blacks, whereas many LCD screens have problems producing dark blacks and look too light to some people. Plasma screens are going to be heavier than an LCD of the same size usually, and LCDs are more energy efficient.


Are plasmas or LCDs more energy efficent flat screen tvs?

Modern LCD panels can use less than half the energy than the same size plasma. Plasmas tend to be brighter however so be sure to see which one is best for you.


How do CRTs compare to LCDs?

CRTs (cathode ray tubes) and LCDs (liquid crystal displays) differ primarily in their technology and design. CRTs use electron beams to illuminate phosphor-coated screens, resulting in bulkier and heavier displays, while LCDs utilize liquid crystals and backlighting, making them thinner, lighter, and more energy-efficient. Additionally, LCDs offer better image quality, sharper resolution, and reduced flicker compared to CRTs. As a result, LCDs have largely replaced CRTs in modern display technology.


Is plasma better than LCDs?

No, it primarily all depends on where the screen will be placed in your home/office, etc. An LCD display is more suitable for areas that will have light being put onto the screen while being watched, like in a family room with windows and so forth (I am describing an area that may be prone to glares). LCDs are also stronger with higher angles, as opposed to a plasma, someone will only see the screen with it's highest resolution if sitting directly in front. With an LCD, armchairs next to, or not directly in front of, may still have a suitable viewing area. Plasma screens are primarily used for theatre type, or theatre quality areas, with dark rooms and seats that are directly in front.


What is a better tv for watching sports plasma or lcd?

Plasma, because Deep colors and it has an infinite response time, unlike LCD's due to the natural nature its technology of LCD's which the pixels have to rotate and is measured in milisecounds (ms). but plasmas response time is infinite because there response time goes as fast as electricity would allow you to, meaning electricity is lightning fast and theres no delay when it comes to electricity.


Is lcd or led television screen best?

LED is a type of LCD. It vastly improves blacks, colors, and contrast for LCD. But it still suffers from motion blur problems. So you need one that is 120Hz or 240Hz refresh rate. The combination of LED and the refresh rate will cost you a LOT. DLP is a great price option for large sets, but its a dying technology. Only Mitsubishi is still developing sets. Everyone else has walked away. Also, while the overall set is super reliable, you have to constantly replace the bulbs. The bulbs have a life of 1-4 years (depending on bulb and how much TV you watch). You can change them yourself, its easy. But its not cheap. A new bulb is $200-$250 at least. Its got great image quality though (just below plasma) if you're willing to deal with the long term bulb purchases. LCD vs Plasma LCD - is the everyman HDTV. It is cost effective, hence its popularity. It is also physically lighter than Plasma. It tends to draw less power than Plasmas as well (though good Plasmas are now competing with LCDs). It has a matte finish so is useful for rooms that have too much ambient light which can not be controlled. LCD whites are a bit brighter than Plasma whites (but how often do you crank your brightness to 100%). LCDs are considered better for gaming (but I don't think you'd be disappointed with gaming on a modern Plasma). LCDs are sharper in SD (think evening news instead of film); this isn't a good vs bad, its just a personal preference thing. LCDs also have a bit more muted colors; again this isn't good vs bad, its purely personal preference. LCD technology has problems with fast motion though. That is why you see ones advertised with 120Hz or 240Hz refresh rates (100Hz and 200Hz in Europe). This does not come close to Plasma though. So they aren't as good for fast motion (sports and movies). The 240Hz ones are making good strides, but right now you're paying a HUGE premium for it. LCDs are also not as strong with their ability to reproduce true blacks. Their blacks tend to be a bit grey and not a true black. LCDs with LED backlighting are coming out now though. These are finally starting to bring LCDs to the Plasma level in terms of blacks. However, like the 240Hz refresh rate, you must pay a large premium for this feature at the current time. -> jf


Is+the+quality+difference+between+Plasma+TVs+and+LCD+TVs+worth+the+cost%3F+?

I've heard Plasma TVs have lower visual quality in darker settings and they break down sooner. So that means more repair costs.
