No, it primarily all depends on where the screen will be placed in your home/office, etc. An LCD display is more suitable for areas that will have light being put onto the screen while being watched, like in a family room with windows and so forth (I am describing an area that may be prone to glares). LCDs are also stronger with higher angles, as opposed to a plasma, someone will only see the screen with it's highest resolution if sitting directly in front. With an LCD, armchairs next to, or not directly in front of, may still have a suitable viewing area. Plasma screens are primarily used for theatre type, or theatre quality areas, with dark rooms and seats that are directly in front.
Yes it is competitve with LCDs.Neither one is better than the other.Both has equal pros and cons.And even Plasma and DLP projectors are competitive.
Plasma HDTVs can still display blacks more accurately than LCDs can, which means better detail in dark scenes. Plasmas offering a higher end range of screen sizes. Plasmas tend to be cheaper as well.
I all depends on your preferences. LCDs are better for colour as in cartoons and Plasmas are better for fast moving things as in Sports. They do not blur easily. Really they are both great Tvs. A2 Plasmas are more expensive, get hot, use high voltages, consume more power and delicate. LCDs are cheaper and more robust. Plasma's put out more light and have vibrant colors, but LCD technology is catchinmg up.
There are really only two types of TVs right now; Plasma and LCD. LED is a type of LCD. It really has to do with backlighting. The first wave of LCDs used fluorescent backlighting whereas current LCDs use LED backlighting. http://www.ledvslcd.com/
LCD's are more reliable and consume less energy than Plasma tv's. Both have about the same life span, but plasma have a tendency to get burn-in (images left on the screen for hours after the tv has been shut off).
if plasma is so much better than why dont they make computer plasma monitors?
Don't be too quick to write off plasma TVs. Even with all the advances in LCD technology, plasma displays still produce the darker blacks that account for the sharpness of their pictures. Plasma TVs also have a slight advantage over LCDs when they are located in a bright environment. Highly lit rooms may cause LCDs to have a washed out appearance, but plasma TVs will not experience this issue. Also worth mentioning is that as LCDs ascend to domination, plasmas will continue to offer exceptional pictures at ever declining prices.
Plasma TVs are better because they offer absolutely no lag time compared to LCDs and they have the highest black levels. Plasmas will use slightly more power, but overall better picture quality. LCD TVs are slightly more inexpensive, but comparing them side to side with a Plasma You will see the difference in quality.
LCDs require less power than CRTs, they also do not flicker.
No most people consider lcd tvs better than plasma tvs. Plasma tvs are harder to fix than lcd tvs. Lcd tvs also have a clearer picture than plasma tvs do.
In most cases no. But there are plasma computer monitors you can buy. Most monitors are LCD. LCDs use less power and are less prone to burn in.
LCDs are more energy efficient and generally last longer.
