A quick tour into the world of Plasma TVs

Plasma TVs have taken the television market by storm. Though there is competition from quarters such as LCD TVs, LED TVs and OLED TVs, the Plasma TVs have cemented their own unique place in the television industry. With regard to its technology, one needs to note that each phosphor in a Plasma Panel Television is individually illuminated, thus illumination power is more efficiently used.

The average lifetime of a Plasma TV Display Screen is 60000 hours and more. They generally come with a 16:9 screen aspect ratio and are quite capable of displaying images of very high resolutions and top quality pictures. They can display HDTV signals as well as VGA computer formats. Another benefit is that they can be wall mounted, thus, adding to the aesthetics of your home. They also have protection features for guarding against burn in. The anti glare or anti reflective coating minimises the ambient light effect and improves video fidelity.

Electronic Program Guides are the e-versions of the conventional paper TV guides. The Integrated DVR (Digital Video Recording) feature enables pausing, rewinding, fast forwarding and recording live TV shows. And if you are a computer junkie, the Wi-Fi feature paves the way for streaming video contents from your PC straight onto your Plasma TV screen. The freeze feature literally freezes moving pictures until and unless you press the feature button a second time. This feature is for freezing that particular frame and not let the moment pass.

Coming to the picture display aspects, one needs to look at its high definition capacity, whether it has a Full HDTV feature with a stunning display resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels or a HD Ready feature of comparatively lesser resolution. More the pixels, better the clarity. The other feature is the contrast ratio. Some high end models have native contrast ratios as high as 40000:1 for displaying the contrasting difference between the brightest whites and the darkest blacks. Another aspect is the good connectivity options such as the HDMI and AV inputs and outputs that it has to offer. Also, the sound aspect is good with dolby digital stereo and V-Audio Surround sound generally featuring in most models. Overall, Plasma TVs have revolutionised the television industry with their huge screen sizes, thin flat panels, high definition picture quality and energy efficiency.
