Question

What are the main differences between an lcd and a plasma tv?

Answer 1

Plasma televisions have a wider viewing angle and a higher contrast ratio, but they use more power and produce more heat. They also don't work well in high altitudes. They typically have a bigger screen size than LCD.

LCDs have a high viewing angle, but not quite as good as Plasma. They have a lower contrast ratio but they're getting pretty good. They use less power and produce less heat.

I don't know how the prices compare size-for-size, but I think LCD is a little more expensive.

Answer 2

plasma tv uses gas and lcd uses crystals.  i hear plasma t.v. can get burned in images as well. lcd screens are usually lighter too.

Answer 3

Answer: Outward appearances are definitely deceiving when it comes to LCD and Plasma televisions. Although both types of televisions are flat and thin, they employ different technology in an attempt to deliver similar results.
