TV plasmas where the large screen television of choice between the late 90′s to mid 2000. LCD have recently surpassed plasmas in terms of popularity due to advances in LCD technology and reductions in price, but plasmas still offers many great benefits, making it an entirely viable option when looking for a home cinema TV screen.
General characteristics
Comprising of many miniature cells that contain nobel gasses trapped between two panels of glass, tv plasmas generate their output by running electrical current of various strength through each cell converting gas into plasma – a process that emits light as a result.
Offering a wide color gamut and characterized by the emission of extremely bright light, plasma tv screens offer a thin, flat profile with the ability to scale up to ultra-large sizes. Up to 150 inches in some cases! On the other hand, plasma televisions don’t down-size well, the minimum size widely produced plasma tv screen is 32 inches.
Plasmas utilize the same amount of power as AMLSC TV or the older CRT screens. Power consumption varies widely depending on the type of image displayed. Recent technology changes claim to reduce power considerably with new new-Plasmas display boxes, however these are not widely available yet.
Plasma Screens vs LCD and Others
Despite declining popularity, plasma television screens offer numerous advantages over other display technologies:
TV plasmas offer incredibly accurate color reproduction and a “true black” that is far superior than that offered in LCD screens. Plasmas boast a far wider viewing angle than LCDs and due to their high refresh rate and response time, virtually no motion blur.
The down-side of plasma TVs is the extra bulkiness of the set due to the weight of the glass cells. Earlier models were more prone to burn-in and while still experience in lower-quality sets, a good set has greatly reduced this problem. Plasmas can suffer from “large area flicker” as well and glare reflected off the glass. As already mentioned they are also more power-intensive than LCD screens on average.
Summary
Few who have seen good quality TV plasmas will argue that they have been witness to one of the brightest, crispest, high-quality pictures available. While the plasma TV suffers some drawbacks, the superiority of its picture quality means it is still well worth considering as a big-screen home viewing option.
