Plasma Vs Lcd Tvs, Which is Better?

im going to get a nw flat screen tv soon and somone told me that one may be better than the other. is this true is plasma better than lcd and vice versa? or are they basically the same but are different because of how there made?

Suggestion:

Each technology have their pros & cons. Here are pros & cons of each for your decision

Pros of Plasma
- Better contrast ratio
- better ability to render deep blacks, more color depth,
- better motion tracking (response time)
- more availability in very large screen sizes.

Cons of Plasma
- more susceptible to burn-in (although this is not as much of a factor now, due to technology improvements in the past few years)
- more heat generation (as well as more power consumption)
- screen glare in brightly lit rooms
- heavier weight, and more delicate to ship.

If you have dark room, want it for watching normal tv, sport. Plasma is your good choice. Good brand that I would recommend for Plasma is Panasonic or Samsung

Pros of LCD
- LCD television advantages include no burn-in susceptibility
- cooler running
- less screen glare, more functional at high altitudes
- longer display life (although improvements are being made in Plasma screen life)
- looks better in brightly lit rooms
- less power consumption than Plasma.
Cons of LCD
- Lower contrast ratio
- not as good rendering deep blacks
- not as good at tracking motion (although this is improving, especially with the implementation of 120Hz refresh rates (and some now offer 240Hz) on higher-end models).
If you have bright room, want it for gaming LCD is a safer choice for you. Good brand for LCD that I would recommend is Samsung, Sony or Panasonic
