LCD are usually better and plasma screens use more energy and are bigger.
I would get the plasma screen TV. They have a much better picture and they are much better to watch movies on than a LCD TV. They also cost less than the LCD TVs.
Plasma, plasma can have the "burn in screen" but so can lcd, lcd is actually more likely to burn in that a plasma, now the whole picture wont burn in but each individual pixel will, For Plasma TVs, the advantages over LCD, are: Better contrast ratio, better ability to render deep blacks, more color depth, better motion tracking (response time), and more availability in very large screen sizes.
This subject has alot of debate but research of owners opinions shows that LCD screens are getting better reviews. Plasma's are still very vulnerable to damage if bumped and burn in on the screen.
Both have their own advantages. LCD has a better resolution than plasma of the same size, but plasma is better priced and has better viewing angles. LCD is lighter if your putting on a wall, but the bigger the TV the better reason for getting Plasma for viewing purposes. LCD are better smaller TVs.
LCD's (liquid crystal display) tend to have a higher resolution, are lighter, and use less power than plasma screens. However, plasma screens allow for better viewing angles.
LCD is better for hd viewing and the colours wil be more bright on lcd but plasma has got a glass screen and the colours are a little bit dimmer but the picture is great for standard viewing aswell as hd viewing , i have a lcd and for standard viewing the upsetted me but a hd plasma i have to say is better than a lcd in my opinion
Plasma screen TVs differ from LCD or LED TVs. Plasma TVs use electrically charged ionized gas to display the picture. The advantages of a plasma TV are that they provide a clearer and better picture than LCD or LED TVs.
"Depending on your preferences, the plasma might be a better buy for your needs. Plasma screens are known to have better viewing angles and obviously better price. The plasma screen has more of a ""cinema"" type look to it."
No most people consider lcd tvs better than plasma tvs. Plasma tvs are harder to fix than lcd tvs. Lcd tvs also have a clearer picture than plasma tvs do.
There are major differences between Sony's LCD and plasma TVs. A LCD TV presents in 4:3 ration, while a plasma presents in widescreen. Plasma TVs smallest size is 37 inches, while LCD are available in much smaller sizes. LCD TVs actually look better than a plasma screen when viewed center on, but plasma TVs can be view from multipe angle without picture distortion. LCD TVs, however, a better in rooms with a lot of light than plasma TVs. The decision will depend on your needs, preferences and budget.
A plasma television has a higher picture quality over a larger sized screen, and better colour definition, especially deeper blacks. There is also less lag on moving images, and it can be viewed from wider angles.
LCD TV's last longer than plasma TV's.
