One cannot argue about the advantages and disadvantages of any product without actually knowing about the product in detail. Because a wrong verdict given will black mark the product thereby affecting its overview and directly affecting its sales in the market. Hence, a comparative study would help us to know more about the product in detail.
A comparative study about plasma TV and LCD TV has been made and the advantages of the plasma television over LCD television has been listed out below.
Few advantages of Plasma TV over LCD TV:
- Screen size
Plasma televisions with wide variety of screen sizes are available in the market. Screen size as big as 152-inches are launched in to the market. Hence, choice is up to the viewer who would purchase a plasma TV.
- Product price
Until there was a clash between plasma and LCD televisions regarding the screen size, plasma TV was the obvious choice. Screen size is considered as the major factor to decide about the price of the product. The price of the product starts increasing only from the screen size of 54 inches and starts gradually decreasing for the screen size less than 50inches.
- Viewing angle
LED televisions deliver poor viewing angle when compared to the CCFL based televisions. LCD televisions that are cheaper produce low grade picture quality when compared to the plasma televisions. This is because of the lower contrast and colour saturation.
- Contrast levels
Contrast levels in plasma televisions are better than the LCD televisions because plasma televisions turn off a pixel fully as the blocking enables more black levels. The colours that are produced on a plasma TV are filled with life and colour.
- Picture performance
Both LCD and plasma televisions deliver crisp, bright and clear images along with high contrast levels and excellent colour. In advantage, plasma televisions are built to have deep blacks and better detail levels when the dark and light portions in the image are shown simultaneously on the screen.
- Bad pixels
Plasma televisions are build to have zero bad pixel label. Whereas the LCD televisions are labeled as zero bad pixel televisions.
- Colour saturation
Plasma televisions are free from washouts and display millions of colours. They are free from washouts because of the finer controls on colour saturation.
- Pixel response time and Image blurring
Plasma televisions are built to have complete blur-free images and high level of pixel response time when compared to the LCD televisions.
Conclusion
LCD televisions and plasma televisions come with their own advantages and disadvantages. Hence it is clear from the above points that the plasma televisions are better than the LCD televisions.
