A leading display technology research company DisplayMate has stated that the viewing angles of plasma televisions are superior when compared to the LCD display panel. They have also said that the best viewing angle is provided by Panasonic with their Pro plasma TV.

A study was conducted in collaboration with Insight Media, who have found that when the LCD TVs are viewed at a 45-degree angle, the vision of the screen is reduced by almost 50% in comparison to the plasma TVs 10% reduction. This reduction in the angle in case of LCD TVs, in turn is said to reduce the contrast ratio and black luminance by more than 50%.

According to DisplayMate, the dynamic contrast ratio, that is an essential factor that determines the picture performance, was not the same as advertised. It has been observed that a wider viewing angle does not compromise on the quality of picture even if the user is viewing from a difficult angle. V display panel.
