Nowadays, in the market of flat screens, we are going away to find with two models, or types of flat screens:
* Plasma television
* Televising LCD
In future we will see that differences it has among them and who typical they have.
Everyone has its advantages and disadvantages, knowing them it will be able to know which is the suitable type more for its house, business or company.
1. – What differentiates has between television of plasma and LCD?
The differences are many, although at first all seems equal.
The first fundamental difference is the price, but that we will analyze or it ahead but, so we are going to evaluate the differences that encontrariamos as far as image once the tuvieramos or installed in the hall house. We have gathered the main typical in the following table:
plasma televisionTelevising Plasma televising LCD tftTelevising LCD
Size It is adapted for screens of great size, from 25”, 37” normally. More it is adapted for screens of normal and small size.
Angle of vision Excellent, 160º Acceptable, <160º
Images in movement Excellent Acceptable
Brightness Excellent,
Darker blacks.
Clearer images. Excellent
Characteristics
special He is ideal to see of almost perfect form images in movement, without loss of color. For this reason, they are ideal to see films and sports with the highest quality. It is adapted to see text in screen, and the suitable one for televisions of regular size in luminous surroundings, or portable monitors of PC and.
As it will be able to observe, the technology of the plasma televisions more is adapted for screens of great size, offering a clearness and brightness superior to the LCD of the same size.
The manufacture of screens LCD of great size is very not extended, for a simple reason, the manufacture cost is very expensive, making it only viable to televisions of 32” at the most to date of today.
2. – Brightness shapes versus Brightness LCD
Besides the size, the clearness and the brightness mark to the difference between the plasma television and television LCD.
In the following image the difference between the brightness of the screen in surroundings different from environmental light can be observed.
1. Light of type tube of neon.
2. Habitual light in an average home
3. The dark

3. – Price shapes VERSUS price LCD
This it is the most important point for whatever it wants to buy a flat screen nowadays, and more likely the one that makes him show preference by plasma or LCD, or one or the other model.
We speak of prices.
Screens LCD, and the variants TFT, that nowadays are used like synonymous, are enough more faces than the Plasma screens.
Comparing, within a same mark, a screen of 32” of LCD-TFT can get to almost cost the double that a screen of 42” of plasma.
We put an example, a television of average range, marks LG.
The Lg of plasma, 42”, HD ready, with 3 entrances HDMI, we can find it by 550€ IVA including in many vestibules of Internet sale.
A LCD lg, of the same size, with similar characteristics, does not lower of 900€.
On the other hand, like reference, a LCD of 56”, marks Philips, full hd, with hdmi we can find, it by 3500€.
It is necessary to also clarify that we can find televisions LCD with prices very fit. Eye with them, since many manufacturers include optimization of image by hardware, which causes that they try to increase the quality of image of smaller resolutions, causing than the image is seen “pixelada”. It is the reason that the LCD cheap, is very cheap.
In any case, since we have seen with the previous examples, between a LCD and a plasma television is a difference of substantial price, that there is to study before choosing a televising LCD or a television of plasma.
If it wants to consult up-to-date prices, it can consult the supplies of vestibules of sale of electrical appliances in Internet, as he is pixmania and redcoon. It considers that the price can vary with respect to a local distributor.
4. – Price repair shapes versus price LCD
The life utility of a plasma screen usually is near the 30,000 hours, whereas the LCD superior has an average life enough, being able to arrive almost at the double of the average life of the plasma television.
On the other hand, the repair of plasma television can get to be more expensive than the one of a televising LCD, so that a LCD can get to amortize a greater cost when buying if we consider that is more probable that behind schedule but in undergoing a failure.
5. – Consumption of plasma television versus LCD
It is a subject somewhat controverted. I explain myself. The plasma screens have a variable power consumption, due to their form to present/display the image, that causes that according to the type of projected image it consumes electricity more or less.
On the other hand, the consumption the LCD is always constant, and will depend solely as large as the screen on the apparatus.
As a rule, it would dare to me to say that the LCD would have a power consumption something smaller than the equivalent by size in plasma.
6. – Average life of the plasma versus average life of LCD
It is a subject that we have commented before. The average life of the plasma more is reduced than the average life of a screen LCD.
This not always means that a plasma screen lasts more, since the durability or life utility of the apparatus also depends on other factors, like quality of the manufacture, ventilation of the apparatus, protection before electrical tips, blows… to which as much the plasma as the LCD are exposed the same.
As a rule, usually one says that they have an average life next to the 60,000 hours.
7. – Distance of visionado and angle of vision
This point is common to both, and will depend on many factors and taste of the person who this seeing screen. Usually one occurs like visionado optimum distance of the resultant to apply 10cm of separation by each inch of the television, reason why, if the screen has 32”, the dsitancia to which to be placed to see the television of correct form, will be of 3.2 meters.
As far as the visionado angle of, practically in the two, is of 160º.
8. – Resolution of the screen. Full HD or Hd Ready.
This it is a subject that has struggled widely. FullHD is the format HD, high definition, that must give a resolution us of 1920×1080. On the other hand, HD Ready is not in himself a format of High Definition, if not rather a marketing strategy, that arrives solely at the resolution from 1200×720, almost half of the previous one.
In this case, the size matters. Whatever more resolution, major quality and clearness of image we are going to be able to obtain.
Like explanation, to be able to enjoy 1080p of the FullHD, we needed that the data or the signal arrive through HDMI 1.3.
9. – The mark matters
Following the type of television that escojam tendra that to show preference for one or the other mark.
Sony and Philips only commercialize technology LCD,
Samsung, LG, Panasonic or Pioneer for example, commercialize both types, shapes and LCD.
In any case, we recommended to him that it chooses a recognized mark, cheap only is expensive.
