LCD vs Plasma

LCD is later technology comparing to Plasma. The market has seen a decrease in sales of Plasma TVs as consumers tend to believe later technologies are much better than the older, but is it really a better value for you? To help you understand better the value and difference between Plasma and LCD, we've picked a review from Cnet.

Which is better value for me right now: plasma  or LCD? If you're in the market for a big screen television — and we're  talking 50 inches and above — then we'd suggest plasma as a safe bet.  Plasmas give you more bang for your buck at the big end of town, and  while LCDs can give you better resolution, plasma still has the edge in  terms of picture quality. One other thing to look for, whether you opt  for plasma or LCD, is an integrated HD digital tuner — some TVs still  have analog tuners, which look pretty terrible on a large screen. At the smaller end of things (17-inch to 42-inch TVs), LCD is the  only way to go if you want something slim and tasteful. And the best  thing is that LCDs are getting cheaper all the time. There has also been a lot of debate surrounding use in bright  environments versus dark, cinema-like conditions. The traditional wisdom is that LCD performs better during the day due to its backlighting  system, and that plasma in a dark environment, as it uses a glass front. Nonetheless, products like the non-reflective Pioneer Kuro plasmas and  LED-backlit LCD panels with their better blacks completely turn this  logic on its head. That said, plasmas do generally perform better in the dark, and models with an anti-reflective coating — such as the new Panasonic plasmas — are the best all-rounders.
