If you haven't already made your choice when buying a large TV, a plasma panel may be the best option for rooms with a large area. Plasma very clearly conveys static images and dynamic scenes. However, plasma TVs also have some disadvantages.
Plasma TV is multifunctional. It can be connected to both a computer and a home theater. The TV has many connectors for various purposes. Plasma differs from other TV sets in manufacturing technology. Plasma cells play the role of pixels in plasma televisions. The cells are placed between two glass panels. The number of cells reaches millions, they are filled with neon or xenon gas. When current flows through the cells, they light up. The cells glow brighter when the voltage rises.
Even on very large plasma TV screens such as 103 inches, the picture quality remains very high.
Plasma TV Benefits
The most significant advantage of "plasma" for families with children is quite strong glass, in contrast to the liquid crystal screen, which breaks at the slightest impact. Saturation of colors, sharpness and clarity, as well as the highest quality of color reproduction, depth of dark colors are pleasantly surprising. For example, a plasma TV displays rich blacks.
Plasma panels have excellent dynamic contrast, as there is no backlighting of the screen. In active scenes, image distortion is not observed, the transfer of movements is most realistic. When a low-resolution signal arrives, the image is softened, the resolution is adjusted to the input channel.
I am very glad that when watching a plasma TV, eyes get tired less, since there is absolutely no flicker. And the absence of magnetic radiation protects not only the eyes, but also all health in general.
The plasma screen has a wide viewing angle (about 160 degrees), the picture is clearly visible even from the side. The thickness of the screen is optimal, it is possible to hang the TV on the wall using the bracket.
The best-selling and most reliable plasma TVs on the Russian market are models from Samsung and Philips.
Disadvantages of Plasma TV
Plasma panel is more suitable for darkened rooms, in bright sunlight or artificial light, viewing becomes uncomfortable. During operation, the TV gets very hot and gives off a lot of heat itself. At the same time, a rather large consumption of electricity is observed, "plasma" can in no way be called an energy-saving technique. The disadvantages can also be attributed to the large mass of the TV (again in comparison with the liquid crystal).
Some plasma TV models are highly prone to image retention. In addition, there is a risk of so-called screen burn-in, the image quality deteriorates over time. But in comparison with a picture tube, of course, a plasma panel wins.
Despite the existing negative points, recently it is plasma TVs that are gaining more and more popularity.
