Why Choose A Plasma Television?
Why Choose A Plasma TV
Still watching your programs on a standard CRT television?
Heard a lot about Plasma Television recently, but not sure why
you would benefit from having this latest technology sitting in
your living room?
Well, lets start with the basics, without the jargon! What is a
Plasma Television?
Plasma televisions are a new type of display that uses
technology different from other televisions. Although, Plasma
televisions are not a new invention, but it has only been up
until recently that this new technology is able to be produced
cheaply enough for the consumer.
Plasma televisions use gas such as Xenon or Neon between two
glass panels. Between these two panels are over 1 million pixels
capable of producing over 16 million colours.
The gas is excited by a charge from an electrode, one pixel of
the display, turning it into plasma. The pixels are illuminated
by the plasma gas, producing the three primary colours and all
the colours in between, creating the display we see on screen. A
processor in the Plasma television controls which pixels are
illuminated to which colour, controlling the images displayed.
How would a Plasma Television Benefit Me?
Plasma Televisions now are available in a range of sizes, alike
the CRT. But the first main difference is the weight and size
between both.
Due to the large glass tubes in the CRT televisions, these make
them extremely heavy and bulky. As Plasma televisions do not
have the glass tube, they are light in comparison, and due to
their slim design, can be wall mounted or freestanding.
As mentioned before, due to the amount of pixels on the screen,
the viewer would benefit from improved picture quality, sharper
images, more vibrant colours with better saturation. Due to the
nature of the technology within the Plasma television, the image
won't get distorted from magnetism, even if you place you
speaker above, below or to the side of the screen. Plasma
televisions also benefit from high ambience light tolerance and
better contrast, pure flat screen and a slim design.
Plasma televisions have better response times as opposed to LCD
Televisions, and wider viewing angels at 160 degrees.
In addition to this, most Plasma Televisions have connections to
connect to your Personal Computer system, which provide a large
viewing area than the traditional computer screens.
So, with the better picture quality, slim and light weight
design, compatibility, and latest technology, why not choose a
plasma television?
