LCD televisions may be better for some people, while plasma screens may be better for others. This guide will help you tell whether you should purchase an LCD or plasma television.
LCD
Often have a higher native resolution, therefore they often have higher quality, this would be noticeable if one were to enlarge the screen.
Weigh less, LCD's can stand on a weaker table than perhaps a plasma could. A plasma television will require a strong holder.
LCD's tend to be slightly thinner than plasmas
Use less power than plasma televisions, which is better if you are on a tighter budget.
Tend to have a longer lifespan than plasmas
Images do not get "burnt", this is when an image is left on the screen for long periods of time (1 week+), the image will then stay on the screen as a darkened silhouette.
Able to perform at higher altitudes, LCD televisions will definitely be better for those living in mountains .
Plasma
Higher contrast, this will allow you to see greater more darker and lighter colors.
Plasma screens also produce clearer colours.
Because of these above two points, plasma screens are better if you wish to buy a larger television.
