Plasma TV

Advantages

• Top name brand plasmas have a fairly long life, lasting about 20 years at a six hours per day pace.
• A plasma screen has a field vision of about 180 degrees without loss of picture quality. That means you can watch the screen from any angle.
• Plasmas are very bright (about 4-5 times brighter than the average TV)
• They have great contrast ratios (enables them to show better shadow detail)
• Plasmas are generally cheaper than LCDs
• They have excellent picture response. There is virtually no delay (blockiness or pixilation) like with LCDs.
• Doesn't take up much space and can be mounted on a wall.

Disadvantages

• Plasmas can have burn in problems. Plasmas do not make as good computer monitors as LCDs. If you were to leave the Plasma TV on for 24 hours a day and there was an image that remained constant on the screen (like a logo), you would run the risk of that image permanently burning into the screen. However, the chance of this happening is often over-exaggerated.
• Plasmas are not available below 37 inches.
