I'm sure everyone reading this article is aware of plasma technology, but how many have heard and/or know the difference from LCD technology?

When going to your electronics store to purchase a new
television set, consumers should be educated as to the
difference between LCD (liquid crystal display) and plasma
televisions.

Each has their pros and cons, but both will give the
consumer a phenomenal picture.

Plasma televisions work by the electrifying of the gases
neon and xenon to make plasma. These televisions come in
sizes between 32 and 63? in size, have flat panel displays,
and produce a clear crisp picture.

A consumer can view a plasma television in a 160 degree
angle and are made for high definition viewing with the
proper signal.

Some of the downfalls of a plasma television include
increased cost, screen burn-in, and the production of
annoying buzzing noise at altitudes higher than 6,500 feet.

LCD televisions work in a similar way except they use
liquid crystal instead of neon and xenon. They come in
sizes ...
... between 20 and 50? in size, have flat panel displays,
and usually have a built-in tuner, not to mention a clear
sharp picture.

A consumer can view LCD televisions in a 120-130degree
angle. They operate well in high altitudes and are energy
efficient.

The downfalls of a LCD television include a slightly slower
response time which can produce a trailing effect, limited
viewing angle, and some color concerns due to lighting
issues where the television is placed in the room.

Depending on what the consumer prefers, both televisions
are worth the money spent on them. LCD's are still better
for computer use is desired, but there are some plasma
manufacturers producing sets that can be used as a computer
monitor as well.
