Flat screen TV
Now that big screen TVs have the convenience of being flat, they are more popular than ever. Whether you're interested in a plasma, LCD, or projection TV, there are many options available today. Big screen TVs have numerous advantages and disadvantages; understanding these factors helps consumers shop more intelligently.
Plasma Advantages
Plasma TVs are one of the most popular types of big screen TVs. They are available in a variety of sizes, especially if the consumer is interested in TVs that are over 40 inches. Plasmas have good response time, contrast ratio, and color depth, making them extremely versatile.
Plasma Disadvantages
Plasma TVs---especially older plasma TVs---sometimes have the problem of "burn-in," a condition where images can become embedded in the screen, and no matter what is on the TV, a faint, alternative image will still be visible. Plasma TVs also have the issue of screen glare, and are one of the heavier types of big screen TVs.
LCD Advantages
LCD TVs have been considered by many to be the top type of big screen TV. LCDs are advantageous over plasma TVs for several reasons, including: no "burn-in," longer life for the display screen, and consuming very little power. LCD TVs are also offered in high resolution of up to 1080p. LCDs are lighter than plasma TVs, making them easier to mount on walls.
LCD Disadvantages
LCDs don't have exceptional contrast ratios when compared with plasma big screens. They are also not as good at displaying motion, meaning that if the images on the screen are moving rapidly, the display might become distorted or delayed at times.
Projection
Another type of big screen TVs is rear projection TVs that project an image by using a group of mirrors. These TVs have the disadvantage of not being flat like LCD and Plasma TVs, which makes them more difficult to move. They also are more limited when it comes organizing your home, due to their size.
