How Do You Compare The Features Of LCD And Plasma Tvs?
High-definition flat-panel TVs offer unprecedented size and quality for home entertainment systems, but they also create a new set of technical considerations that the home consumer must decipher before making a purchase. LCD (liquid crystal display) and plasma TVs rely on very different technologies. LCDs use crystals that twist or untwist depending on the amount of electric current applied; as the current increases, the crystals untwist and hide the back light. Plasma TVs use the equivalent of thousands of tiny neon tubes that display different colors depending on the amount of electricity applied. It’s important to keep these differences in mind when you’re comparing TVs. Take your DVD to a home entertainment store and ask a salesperson to play it for you.
