Many people know they want a flat-panel TV, but aren't sure which type to get.
A plasma TV might be for you if:
- You want really rich, warm colors and deep blacks.
- You'll be sitting off-axis when you watch TV or movies.
- You don't watch a lot of TV shows or play lots of video games with static images on the screen for more than a few hours at a time.
- Your viewing room doesn't have a lot of ambient light, or you can easily reduce the light by closing the blinds, for example.
- If you're looking at screen sizes under 40", LCD is your only flat-panel choice. LCD looks great in a kitchen or any other room with bright lighting. LCD displays are better at resisting glare from sunlight or room lights, and they're very bright (brighter even than plasmas). LCD is also one of the most rugged display types. Its total immunity to screen burn-in makes LCD an ideal choice if your viewing includes frequent computer or video game use. And if you leave your TV on for hours at a time tuned to a news or sports channel with a scrolling "ticker," LCD would be a safer TV choice.
A flat-panel LCD TV might be for you if:
- You watch a lot of TV shows or play lots of video games with static images on the screen for extended periods of time, multiple days a week.
- Your TV room is relatively bright, or you do a lot of daytime viewing.
There are many more 1080p LCD models than plasma — that's the highest resolution currently available, so you'll see a very sharp, detailed picture.
- LCD TVs are usually more energy efficient than plasma models of the same size.
- You want really rich, warm colors and deep blacks.
