Jsut a quick question.....
Are plasmas better than led tvs out there
Any pros and cons for plasma compared to led????
There are many, many pros and cons compared to LED TVs. I will start with the pros. First off, plasma TVs have the best black levels, hands down. The reason is due to the fact that each pixel gives off its own light, as opposed to LED TVs, which require a backlight in order to give off color. So for a plasma screen, its "black" is simply turning off the pixel. Another pro is their excellent response times, which will make fast moving action scenes look much better.
As for cons, plasma TVs are not very bright, and they have a reflective screen. The combination of both makes it very bad for watching in a brightly lit room. If you watch most of your TV during the daytime in room that gets a lot of sunlight, it's highly advised not to go for a plasma. Next is the maintenance involved for the first 200 or so hours of a plasma TV's life. While you do not have to worry about burn-ins (because the technology has improved significantly since their debut), image retention is still a problem. You will have to make sure you don't have any still images or any show that displays the same parts of a certain picture for more than a few minutes at a time because you will get image retention. Plasma TVs have an option to "wash out" the image retention on the screen, but getting it off will require anywhere from a couple of hours to weeks (for a few hours a day). In addition, you should not calibrate your plasma TV for the best picture quality during the first 200 hours because the phosphors in the screen need to settle-in. You will see increased color brightness/saturation for the first 200 hours you use the TV before the colors finally stabilize and no longer change.
For the absolute best picture quality, plasma TVs will win. However, LED TVs are a bit more hassle free, and more all-round in the sense that you can watch your LED TV even in a bright room. The black levels are nowhere as good as a plasma TV's, but if you get a good LED TV, the black levels will still be decent. In addition, LED TVs do not have any settle-in period or image retention issues. Lastly, LED TVs are much slimmer (and lighter) and consume much less power than plasma TVs.
If you have any more questions, let me know!
