Plasma vs LCD ??
If you're considering a flat-panel TV you have essential two popular options. Plasma or LCD. How do you decide on which type is right for you? Well let's have a look. The Plasma TV's have been around a little longer than LCD TVs, and so their technology is a little further along. Plasma screens use a phosphor coating like the old tube style TVs, so they have the natural color we're used to with tube models. Plasma TV's are vulnerable to "burn-in" although it's less of an issue for newer models; screen tends to reflect room lights.
The LCD TV'S looks great in a kitchen or any other room with bright lighting. LCD displays are better at resisting glare from sunlight or room lights, and they're very bright (brighter even than plasmas). LCD is also one of the most rugged display types. Its total immunity to screen burn-in makes LCD an ideal choice if your viewing includes frequent computer or video game use. And if you leave your TV on for hours at a time tuned to a news, or sports channel with a scrolling "ticker," LCD would be a safer TV choice.
Tech Notes:
If you're looking at screen sizes smaller than 40", LCD is your only flat-panel choice Vizio recently announced that it will no longer be making Plasma TV'S. Pioneer is getting totally out of the TV business.
