Re: lcd or plasma

.....BUT the resolution, detail and clarity are outstanding on a properly
working and properly adjusted plasma.... also because it is well suited to
very large screen size without using the "projection method" it has a much
wider angle of good viewing without the dramatic light falloff of the
projection sets whether they are the CRT, LCD and the DLP technologies.
For smaller screen sizes, the LCD flat panel display, not projection, is a
clear choice.... just look at the computer's flat panel LCD monitors... the
newer ones have a much improved response time so movies and fast moving
scenes don't smear.... but again, if you want big, the Plasma is
terrific.... I have owned 3 different Plasma sets and NONE have had any
burn in problems,,,,, but I don't play video games and I vary the
wide-screen modes every so often to avoid most burn in issues.

It depends on the application, size, and budget.

LCD generally is better for use with computers, where smaller screen
sizes
are used, where off axis viewing is limited, and where brightness is
needed.
PDPs are generally better for video, have better blacks, and are more
cost
effective in larger screen sizes. PDPs have phosphors that age, though
newer sets have much improved this area.

These are generalizations. Each factor will vary among brands and
models as
well. The best of one technology may outperform poorer designs in the
other
type in any area. Prices in both vary greatly. View each set under the
conditions you will be using it and judge actual performance rather than
looking just at the specs, which may be very misleading.



My biggest gripe about LCD is the banding effect most(all?) of them seem
to show when displaying smooth color gradients. Look at a blue sky scene
and it normally looks a lot smoother on a plasma but has visible bands
of color across it on LCD and DLP sets. I've seen a lot of burned in
plasma sets, though that can be minimized by properly setting the
brightness and contrast. I've also seen a few with irreplaceable parts
that had craters blown in them. They run at much higher power levels
than LCD which tends to contribute to more failures.
