May 3, 2007
Choosing a right flat panel display for your home can be easier than you think. All you have to do is a simple comparison of Plasma TV and LCD TV in correlation with your needs. If you want a huge display for your home theatre usage, Plasma TV will be an excellent choice.
To begin with, Plasma TV is compatible with almost all video formats NTSC, Pal, DVD and HDTV. Almost any video input device can be connected to Plasma TV. Moreover, Plasma TVs are upgradeable to add advanced features that come up now and then in the market.
DVD materials are best viewed when they are supported by a display device which can render excellent black levels and wide viewing angles. The true black levels enable the viewers to see the finest details in a dark back ground, in other words, the pictures look more realistic on a Plasma screen. This is because, Plasma TVs usually have a contrast ratio of more than 3000:1 while the high end Plasma TVs come with a contrast ratio of 10000:1.
Viewing angles imply how far your TV can allow you to sit on either side of it and enjoy the uniform picture quality. The more the wide angles your TV allows, the farther you can sit on either side of your TV. As each pixel on a Plasma screen is a self-illuminated unit controlled by a digital board, the picture quality does not get affected when pictures are seen off-axis. A standard Plasma TV supports a viewing angle up to 180 degrees.
The newer HD Ready Plasma TVs that hit the current market often have a competitive price combined with some of the advanced features that make them comparable with the best LCD TVs. While most of the LCD TVs suffer from motion lag or ‘ghosting, fast movements on a Plasma TV are devoid of artifacts, so look very real to the viewers.
