What is the difference between LCD and plasma screen televisions?
LCD and plasma screen televisions use two different technologies to achieve a similar result. Plasma uses charged gas sealed in, you guessed it, plasma to create a picture. Plasma screens have a larger size availability and have better color and contrast than LCDs and have little or no motion blur. LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) televisions use florescent bulbs through charged liquid crystals. They require less power and produce less heat than plasma screen or traditional sets. LCD screens are typically brighter than plasma and aren’t succeptible to the “burn-in” effect. If you’re top priorities are size (50″ or above) and picure quality, go with plasma. Otherwise, choose LCD. Feel free to visit one of our locations to compare them side-by-side!
