Making the Right Choice What’s the difference between LCD and Plasma TV If you’re looking to buy a large flat-screen TV, you no longer just need to decide which brand to choose…

Facts you should know before buying a large screen TV. TECHNOLOGY. Plasma technology is relatively new (1964), having been originally developed as a full colour screen at the time of the Winter Olympics in Nagano (1998) as a means of showing sporting events on larger screens than is possible with CRT technology. It was thus developed from the ground up for showing video as opposed to static pictures. LCD Technology is actually an older technology dating back to 1904 and was primarily developed to display static images on digital calculators and watches, before being adopted by the IT industry for computer monitors and eventual development into TV sets. COLOUR REPRODUCTION. With Plasma technology, every individual pixel (3x cells or sub-pixels) contains all the elements necessary to make colours which helps Plasma produce a wider colour palette with more natural tones. With LCD technology, colours are made by manipulating the light coming from either a Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) or Light Emitting Diodes (LED) then passed through colour filters. In the case of CCFL & LCD TVs with edge lit LED Backlight this reliance on a fixed backlight source and colour filters may make it difficult to produce consistently natural and believable colour uniformality and tone. Because Plasma TVs can produce more viewable colours than LCD, Plasmas are able to bring the colour of your world to TV. If you want to see more vibrant colour on your TV we recommend that you choose a big screen Plasma TV. INTENSE BLACKS. With Plasma screens, a pixel can be made to look almost completely black by stopping any electrical current from entering it. Panasonic are now so good at this that some of our Plasma’s boast a dynamic contrast ratio of 40,000:1 (native contrast), helping to create a truly cinematic, deep image. With LCD, some unwanted light from the backlight may seep- through pixels that are supposed to be black, meaning that dark areas may look grey and flat…
