Press Release Body = Consumers around the globe are pouring millions into plasma televisions. But are they making a smart purchase?
All the big dogs in today's society own a plasma television. And now that the prices are dropping so drastically, the little dogs around town can afford one too. But did you know that plasma televisions are not the only player in the upscale home entertainment game?
The LCD flat panel TV has begun making a name for itself. Home cinema enthusiasts prefer the LCD TV over the plasma because of its superior picture quality. Unlike plasma televisions, LCD TVs have true high definition resolution available at a much smaller screen size. If you want high definition from a plasma TV, you have to shell out the big bucks for a 50 inch or larger screen. But LCD televisions come with true HD capabilities in screens as small as 15 inches.
Another great selling point for the LCD TV, is that they don't have the burn-in factor like plasma televisions do. Burn-in is premature aging of the plasma picture tube caused by the gases manufactures have to use. Which make the image fade and eventually burn out at around 30,000 viewing hours. The LDC TVs life expectancy is between 40,000 and 50,000 hours.
Image brightness is another key benefit to purchasing a LCD TV. Plasma televisions have auto brightness shut down systems, which is used to avoid the 'burn in' problems discussed earlier. The LCD TV on the other hand, doesn't need this automatic brightness control, and it produces a much brighter image than the average plasma tv.
The LCD TV is famous for its virtual no glare quality because it uses color filters to dissolve reflections. Plasma televisions have to utilize phosphors to build the viewing image, so they are more vulnerable to indoor and outdoor light.
The one thing that LCD TV is lacking however is deep, rich color. The black levels on the best LCD TVs is at least 10 times as high as the plasma TV. So the image colors won't look as rich and vibrant on the LCD TV in low lighting situations, which is where plasma television stands above the crowd.
The LCD TV is a home theater system breakthrough. You get true HDTV quality pictures in a lot smaller space, it's lighter, brighter, slimmer, more compact, and it uses 25% less energy than a plasma tv too! It truly is technology at its finest. Do yourself a favor; take an LCD TV for a test drive today.
