When buying a TV, the usual comparisons are made between the LCD and Plasma TVs available. Now LED have been thrown into the mix to offer further options. Plasma TVs stand out to many for their sleek dimensions, deep blacks, warm colours and ability to display impressive images at large screen sizes. As well as that Plasma flat pannel tvs can be a third cheaper than eqivilent LCD TVs.
There is a fine line between the technology on board Plasma, LCD and LED TVs, all capable of displaying images to a very high quality. Pioneer were the kings of Plasma TV for some time, but in 2009 they announced that they were to cease production of Plasma TVs and concentrate on their Car Audio products instead, handing over the Plasma division to Panasonic. Manufacturers such as Panasonic, LG and Samsung have become the most popular for producing Plasma TVs, with some extremely impressive technology on board to produce outstanding images and the deepest blacks. It is common for a reputable branded plasma TV to have a life expectancy of around 50,000 which equates to 20 years at 6 hours viewing per day. The viewing angle is particularly wide providing a great view from any angle. Plasma TVs also provide very bright images, as much as 4 or 5 times brighter than an average TV.
The main draw back for Plasma TVs is that they use so much energy, some of the big 50 inch Samsung TVs can cost as much as 150 a year to run. On the plus side with Plasma you get a excellent picture quality and a serious lot of screen for yout bucks, 50 inch is now the biggest selling Plasma screen size in the UK.
