Can be larger than LCD as of 2007 plasmas have reach
as large as 65" but due to the need for real glass they have almost
reached the maxium size allowable for standard production
|
LCD on the consumer level reach 42" however some
statiums and colisums boost LCD screens as large 300"
|
|
Screen Refresh
|
15ms, better than most large LCD's on the market today.
|
This is one catigory ViewSonic stands out amoung other
LCD manufactures most products are 12ms and some as low as 5ms

Burn-In and heat is a problem

operation

|
Durabilty
|
Plasmas are very fragile making them tricky to ship
and install. Unlike the commercials where plasmas are mounted on the ceiling,
plasmas are best installed by a professional, and should be installed
on a wall that can bear a good deal of weight.
|
Much more durable than plasmas. End users can easily mount an LCD TV themselves if desired. |
|
Brightness / Contrast
|
Plasma TVs report higher brightness and contrast levels
than LCDs. Under ideal conditions (no ambient light) this is a true advantage
of plasma technology, because LCD TVs are backlit and therefore light
must be blocked to create blacks. Plasmas have individual pixels that
either on or off, creating deeper blacks and better contrast.
|
LCD TVs can often look better in 'real-world' situations.
Plasmas are made with a special glass surface that can reflect light,
which dulls the brightness and contrast of the image. LCD TVs reflect
very little light, allowing them to maintain levels in well-lit rooms.
