For The Bigger Picture Choose A Plasma Tv

The excitement of the big screen has been something we have become used to enjoying over many generations

. When we were younger, we went to the cinema to enjoy all the latest films brought to life on those massive screens, and it whet our appetites for watching everything on a similar, grand scale.

Thats why television manufacturers were motivated to devise sets which took our home viewing beyond the 24 to 26-inch screens which were considered the best available for many years. It was the switch from the old cathode ray tube to plasma, and later, LCD, screens which made the transition to a completely new way of experiencing television possible.

The first, and still the most popular, type of large-screen television has a plasma screen. These work by feeding an electric current in between two layers of glass, the space between which is filled with a gas. This has brought substantial advantages over the older technologies used in TV screens, principally that moving images shown on a plasma screen look far more realistic. This is due to the fast response time the time it takes for each individual pixel which makes up the screen to change from black to white and back again. This time is measured in milliseconds, so the colour change is imperceptible to the human eye, and in most TVs it means that movements appear smooth and not jerky.

Another way in which a plasma TV scores over an LCD TV is in the level of contrast which can be achieved. This means that the darkest blacks and the lightest whites are much further apart on the colour spectrum, and the measurement of this is expressed in the TVs specifications as the contrast ratio, eg 500:1 the higher the number, the greater the ratio, and therefore the more distinct the colours on the screen.

These two factors are what distinguishes a plasma TV, and gives it better-quality pictures which are best appreciated on the largest-size screens available. And when it comes to the screen size, the barriers have been well and truly broken down, and now plasma TVs are available with screens up to 65 inches wide the width measurement is taken diagonally from corner to corner, and not across the top or bottom of the screen.

Such huge screens are best viewed in a very large room, and usually require special mounting brackets or stands as their weight means they have to be very carefully mounted.

But anyone who has such a room, and wants the ultimate in home entertainment, a plasma TV is the ultimate choice.
