Sooner or later we all face the problem of updating your fleet of devices to display video information. And we ask the question - what technology, plasma or liquid crystal, give preference? This is especially true when choosing TVs with a large diagonal of screens. Today, the most "advanced" two technologies are plasma and liquid crystal display. Both technologies (plasma and LCD) are good enough, but possess a number of differences.
1
The dimensions of plasma and liquid crystal TV screens are almost identical, except that it is impossible to create a plasma display of less than 37 inches diagonally. So here both technologies parity.
2
One of the parameters defining the image quality is the physical resolution of the display. Here both technologies are equal. Both plasma and LCDs are absolutely no problem display full HD permission (FullHD) - 1920 * 1080 pixels with progressive frame scan.
3
Another fundamental parameter is brightness. Here the LCD loses plasma displays. It is essential - the range of brightness adjustment of the image is many times less than that of plasma TVs. Therefore, viewing the LCD TV in a very light room with standard settings causes a certain discomfort, and the brightness adjustment range may not be enough.
4
The contrast of the image at the LCD is also worse than the plasma. It is impossible to achieve perfect black on the LCD display. However, like white. Accordingly, there are certain difficulties with setting up the naturalness of color reproduction. Under this parameter, plasma displays were significantly overtook liquid crystal and the positions are not collected.
5
Image viewing angles The "advanced" models of the LCD televisions are close to the plasma viewing corners and are up to 170 degrees. However, the budget models of the LCD are significantly inferior in this plasma parameter, which creates inconvenience when using - we are actually "tied" to a specific viewing point. According to this parameter of the plasma - the absolute winner.
6
Often you can notice the occurrence of "Clay loops" on the LCD screens when demonstrating dynamic, quickly changing images. But there is no such effect on the plasma. This is due to the fact that the LCD technology does not allow switching the screen pixels as quickly as in the plasma display, where the response rate of the pixel is approaching the speed of light in vacuo. And this lack of LCD - congenital and unreasonable. Thus, the plasma wins again with a large margin.
7
But for the power consumption of the LCD absolute leader. Does not leave plasma no chance. Even the largest LCD TV consumes at times less electricity than the smallest plasma. It is high energy consumption that caused the gradual folding of the production of plasma televisions in developed countries.
8
Well, finally - weight and geometric dimensions. Here again the LCD technology is broken down. The screens from the LCD thinner and easier than plasma, which allows you to make the TV case thinner and with a thin frame. "Advanced" LCD models of televisions as if soaring in the air - very stylish design.
Thus, both technologies have their own advantages and disadvantages. If you need an uncompromising picture with natural color reproduction and as close as possible to reality - your choice of plasma. If most of the time you look at the TV news and other etheric programs, without making special requirements for the quality of colors and the response speed of the pixel - to the world of liquid crystal technologies. Successful choice!
