plasma tvThere are subtle differences between an LCD and plasma TV. For one, plasmas are more fragile. As far as pricing goes, they will be very similar. Size, brand and features will be the main factors in out the door cost. DLP is the most expensive type of screen but I am excluding it or this post. LCDs are hard to mess up. Your computer screen is an LCD and has probably faced some serious wear and tear without any quality loss. Plasma TVs entered as a large force when flat screens first hit the market. Today, plasma technology is harder and harder to find. Every single electronics store will sell more LCDs then plasmas.

The confusion starts when people start hearing that plasma TV quality is superior to LCD. The fact is only the major brands who consistently produce quality product like Panasonic market this type of screen. So yes, a plasma TV may be of better quality then a LCD but it is totally a matter of brand name. According to beststuff.com, “true HDTV resolution can’t be found in plasma TVs smaller then 50 inches.” Price should be your main deciding factor in what kind of screen to buy.
