if plasma is so much better than why dont they make computer plasma monitors?
in general, a plasma consumes more power.
LCD monitors with high pixel densities are more suitable for computer usage than television screens which more commonly use Plasma or CRT screen technologies.
Computer monitors, particularly older ones, contain lead and other heavy metals. Many are toxic and so recycling them is better than dumping them.
LG computer monitors come guaranteed more than 2 years
plasma
LCDs use less energy than plasma sets and do not suffer from image burn in as plasmas may. Plasmas have the advantages of better performance at extreme viewing angles, much much better response time and they are generally cheaper than a comparable sized LCD. Plasmas are often accused of being more succeptable to ambient room reflections but this generally related to the outer coatings used on the screen and is not an inherent disadvantage of the technology.
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.
Plasma screen monitors run much hotter than an LCD monitor, because they use technology based on light bulbs to run.
LCD monitors are rumoured to be a far better monitor due to the color being much sharper, and the pixles having less of a straint on your eyes.
LCD TV's last longer than plasma TV's.
This depends on if you want to watch HD tv. OfCourse an HD plasma tv will be better than a regular plasma if your looking toward watching television in HD.
An LCD will have a generally lower energy requirement than a Plasma monitor. But Plasma monitors energy requirements change with the brightness. If something on the screen is dark, it will use less energy.
