			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Plasma or LCD ? this is the main question when deciding about the new flat panel TV for home .  Though LCD has its own advantages here are the top ten reasons to buy a Plasma TV . One thing is important o keep in mind is that both LCD and Plasma has some very strong plus and minus point  and you should make your decision after comparing those points to your home viewing  environment .</p>
<p><strong><br />
1. Higher Contrasts Ratio : </strong><IFRAME SRC="/ads_336_280.htm" FRAMEBORDER="0" SCROLLING="no"  ALIGN="right" WIDTH=350 HEIGHT=300  ></IFRAME><br />
Plasma TVs can display a higher contrast ratio than LCD TVs and this enables you to see more rich colors and shades or the picture.</p>
<p><strong>2. High  Response time </strong><br />
If  you often view TV programmers which involves high speed actions and you don&#8217;t want to miss the high speed action . Plasma TVs has faster response time and they can display high action as it happens without a delay or trail.</p>
<p><strong>3. Viewing Angle </strong><br />
Plasma TV offer wider angle of view for  a clear picture . If your  TV viewing area is planned in such a way that some family members or guests may always be sitting at an angle greater than 130 degrees ( LCD limit )  to the Television  and you want them to enjoy picture as fully as persons in front of the television .</p>
<p><strong>4. Screen Burn in</strong><br />
You don&#8217;t watch TV for long hours  and don&#8217;t leave TV on with a static image from DVD or Game player for hours .<br />
Plasma TVs may show a screen burn in after a few years . Burn in is the case of an image etching permanently on the screen if same screen area is illuminated constantly over a period of time .</p>
<p><strong>5. Don&#8217;t want to hook a computer to your TV :</strong><br />
You are not intending to hookup your computer to TV to view photos or movies . Plasma TVS are not good in displaying static images or computer output so you have to make a decision here itself if you want to attach your computer to TV monitor now or later .</p>
<p><strong>6. You have a  room with dim or dark light condition :</strong><br />
Plasma TVs shows best image quality and contrast when viewed in dark or dim lights . If this is the normal condition of your television viewing area  than Plasma is for you. If you are planning to buy  a TV for your dedicated home theater  room than also  plasma TV may the the best choice .</p>
<p><strong>7. You are ok with high power consumption : </strong><br />
Because of the technology used in  Plasma TVs , they consumes more power than LCDs so if you watch TV for short time you can live with higher power consumption by plasma TVs .</p>
<p><strong>8. Altitude : </strong><br />
Your house is located below 6500 ft elevation and you don&#8217;t see relocating  up that elevation in next few years . Plasma TVs emit buzzing sound at the elevation of 6500 ft or above and that may prove pretty annoying if you live or plan to live at a higher elevation .</p>
<p><strong>9. Screen Sizes </strong><br />
You are looking only for a Plasmas  TV bigger than 37&#8243; in size. Plasma TVs are are not available below 37 inches so you will have a size <IFRAME SRC="/ads_336_280.htm" FRAMEBORDER="0" SCROLLING="no"  ALIGN="right" WIDTH=350 HEIGHT=300  ></IFRAME>choice only from 37&#8243; and above..</p>
<p><strong>10 . Short Term investment </strong><br />
You want to watch it for next 4-5 years and move on to latest technology than . Since Plasma TV doesn&#8217;t have any replaceable part if the picture quality deteriorates or a period of time there is  nothing much you can do about it . Picture quality can suffer due to burn out of the material used to show the picture leading to less brightness and colors .</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>LCD or Plasma ? that is the question comes to mind when you think of buying a new Flat panel  television. You try to find the answers by end only learning about the technology used and left to decide to compare and choose your self based on a long  article. This fact sheet gives you top ten reasons you want to buy a LCD Television . This is no indication that plasma technology is not good or we have a bias in  favor of LCD but simply the reasons which may suite your viewing <IFRAME SRC="/ads_336_280.htm" FRAMEBORDER="0" SCROLLING="no"  ALIGN="right" WIDTH=350 HEIGHT=300  ></IFRAME>requirement and conditions at home . There is a  separate article describing top ten reasons for buying Plasma Television so  don&#8217;t forget to look at that as well !</p>
<p><strong>1.More Color richness in a room with lots of light. </strong><br />
If you have a living room  where you want to sit back , read magazines , newspapers and watch TV , LCD may be you choice as LCD gives more Color richness a room with lots of light.</p>
<p><strong>2.Contrast is comparable to Plasma   :</strong><br />
The contrast ratios indicate the ratio between white and black level of TV, the higher the ration the better. Though plasma TVS typically have a higher contrast ratios , you can find LCD TVs with  comparable contrast ratios . Contrast is one of the many factor for picture quality and you should not make a purchase just because of higher contrast ration of a TV .<br />
( Contrast is a ration between maximum and minimum brightness , if a LCD has a maximum brightness of  800  cd/m2 and minimum brightness  of  2 cd/m2 the contrast ration would be 800/2 or 400:1 )</p>
<p><strong>3.Picture Quality and resolution is better : </strong><br />
LCDs TV has more picture producing elements per same screen size than plasma TV  and they provide more resolution for the same size of plasma both these factors leads to better picture quality and high resolution picture .</p>
<p><strong>4. Viewing angle : </strong><br />
LCD TV  is  viewed best when it is in the center and everyone will look the TV directly . Although LCD Tvs provide viewing angles of up to 130 degrees  yet  you may think of the situation if you have to watch TV at an angle greater than 130 degree on a daily basis.</p>
<p><strong>5. LCD  consumes less power : </strong><br />
LCD TVs use less power than plasma TVs of the same size so  over the period of time watching LCD  TV will cost less as compared to Plasma Television and save you some money on electricity bill!</p>
<p><strong>6. Less and Replaceable Wear and tear<br />
</strong>LCD has backlight  florescent bulb which can fade over period of few years  . The good news is that this is the only element  susceptible in LCD to wear and tear  and it can be replaced in most of the new LCD TVs. and a new bulb can give the TV a new bright life. This is not the case for plasma where display coating fades and can&#8217;t be replaced .</p>
<p><strong>7. LCD is preferred as Computer monitor<br />
</strong>LCDs are preferred in  computer monitor for displaying static images like text , spread sheets or just images  . If you are planning to use your TV as  monitor for your laptop  to watch movies or work, LCD will provide you better quality than Plasma TV.  Plasma may  give you somewhat hazy letters and images .</p>
<p><strong>8. No Burn in problems :<br />
</strong>Image burnout happens when a static image remains on the screen for a very long time and have a faded impression of the image left on the screen forever .  LCDs  use a different technology than plasma and they do nor suffer from image burn in problem as in Plasma TVs.</p>
<p><strong>9. Improved Response time :<br />
</strong>Response time matters most when you are watching a high <IFRAME SRC="/ads_336_280.htm" FRAMEBORDER="0" SCROLLING="no"  ALIGN="right" WIDTH=350 HEIGHT=300  ></IFRAME>speed action with every thing moving at very fast pace such as car racing. TVs with good response time will be able to display the action as it happens where as in high response time TVs picture may appear to be lagging .  Generally  response time of an LCD TV is less than that of response time of plasma TV but latest improve ments in the  technology has made it possible to provide a very good response time for LCDs as well. Sharp has quoted a 6ms Response Time for some of its model .</p>
<p><strong>10. No Altitude related problems :<br />
</strong>LCD will be your choice if you live or may move to live at altitude of  6500 feet or above (you never know in the current job situation ) . Plasma TVs at this altitude emits a buzzing sound like a neon sign.</p>
