One fundamental decision to make when deciding on a new high-definition TV is whether to go with plasma or LCD technology. They both offer big screens, spectacular viewing, and thin packages you can hang on a wall. There are some major differences, however, and more than a little misinformation.
True: Plasma TVs have deeper, richer blacks, and better contrast.
Lcd Tv
In general that is a true statement. But because plasma screens are made with highly reflective glass, plasmas tend to perform best in dark rooms with no bright light sources. If your TV viewing is mostly during the day or in an environment with lots of light sources you may end up disappointed with your plasma's performance. On the other hand, if you're buying your big-screen HDTV to watch movies in a darkened room then plasma would be an excellent choice.

Plasma have another technology limitation. As more of the screen lights up plasmas tend to go dimmer because of inherent power supply limitations. LCD TVs do not have that limitation. LCD screen materials are flatter in texture than plasmas and are lower in reflectivity. That makes LCD TV's better performers in moderately and brightly lit environments.
Myth: Plasma TVs have very short life spans
Newer plasma TV panels have an expected longevity of 60,000 hours to half half brightness. That means that you could leave your plasma TV on for seven years straight, 24 hours a day before it would lose half of the screen brightness that it had on day one. Although there was some validity to the short life claim in the very first plasma models to come to market this claim is no longer a valid reason pass on a plasma TV.
Half Myth: LCDs leave mouse trails all over the screen
Motion blur with LCD TVs is only a half myth have because it remains somewhat of a problem with some models. The term of art is "response time" or "vestigial blur". The very earliest LCD TVs left aggravating trails across the screen every time an on screen object moved. Plasma TV never had this problem. Newer LCD TV's like the Samsung 40 inch have a very fast response time, 5 ms, which is the time it takes for a pixel to go from black to white to black again. Consumer performance reviews for the Samsung, as well as many Sony models and other high end LCD TVs do not report motion blur as a problem that affects their enjoyment of movies or even sporting events where motion blur is most noticeable.
Myth: Plasmas need periodic gas recharge
This was never true. Plasma TVs never needed to be recharged with gas although more than a few extended warranties were sold because of this misconception.
True: Plasma TV is prone to screen burn
For decades people had to live with burned-in images of the CBS logo or a stock ticker across the bottom of the screen. Image retention was an unavoidable problem with cathode-ray televisions and although it's getting better, image retention or screen burn is still a problem today with plasma TV. A careful viewer could probably avoid screen burn with a plasma TV but it would take more than a little effort if you play games on the big-screen or if you watched CNBC with its scrolling stock ticker all day.
True: LCD TV washes out at moderate viewing angles.
If you're always going to view your HDTV at a straight-on angle than LCD angle washout is not much of a concern to you. If you are going to put your LCD TV in a narrow but wide room, however, you may want to think twice about LCD. The people sitting on the far ends of the couch may not be too happy about their viewing experience. Angle washout that disappears colors and contrast is less of a problem with plasma.
