So you want the best plasma home TV, but what is it? What do our eyes, newspaper photographs, antique TVs, plasma TVs and LCD TVs have in common?

We see a world of dots. In the back of our eyes are rods and cones. The rods notice black and white dots, and the cones notice color dots. Take a magnifying glass to a newspaper photo and you’ll see that the blacker the area, the bigger the dots, to prevent white being reflected from the paper.

The three kinds of TV don’t use reflected light. They make light of their own in different ways. Ancient CRT TVs swept a beam of electrons across the inside of the screen. The phosphor on the screen glowed in one of 3 colors if it was a color TV, but the problem was to make the dot really small. You would be lucky if you ever got it as small as a 32nd of an inch. It relied on your eyes remembering the color until the electron beam swept past again. The screen was curved, so introduced distortion and would never qualify as the best flat screen TV. It was inferior to any flat screen deals.

Back in these days a torch light bulb was considered small, so they couldn’t use plasma or LCD. Best plasma home TV screens have thousands of very tiny fluorescent lights in three colors to make the dots that your brain sees as a picture. LCD screens use Light Emitting Diodes for a back-light, and the Liquid Crystal Displays in front allow more or less light to pass through them, depending on the electric voltage applied to each one.

Advantages of the best Plasma home tv screens

  • They’re flat, so you don’t get the distortion of old CRT screens
  • They’re thin – only a few inches thick, so you can mount them on the wall or even the ceiling if you like to lie down to watch TV. Plasma vs LCD: LCD screens are a lot thicker.
  • They have very much higher definition (smaller dots) than CRT TVs
  • They can be viewed from a wide angle, so are best suited for group viewing. (Plasma vs LCD: LCD TVs require you to be almost in front of them to get best viewing results.)
  • Back in 2004 they only lasted about 20 thousand hours, but modern ones have a half-life of at least 50 thousand hours. That’s a lot more than you got with a CRT TV. Plasma vs LCD: You can expect 50 thousand hours from an LCD screen too.
  • You can have enormous screens limited only by the size of your room and the distance you have to get back to view the screen.
  • LCD dots only light up when needed for the picture. LCD panels have a panel of LEDs behind them that are always on when the TV is switched on.

Disadvantages of Plasma HDTV (High Density TV)

  • The cost. My blog will introduce you to great discounts from the most trusted discounter in the world, but the best Plasma home TV is not cheap. You may find a flat screen tv sale, or just discounts on Samsung 50 inch if you prefer a Samsung flat screen TV, but it will still cost more than a Samsung 32 LCD TV
  • Burn in: This is a problem that ancient CRT screens had as well, so screen savers were invented for computers, to avoid icons etc burning into the screen when you walked away from it. If you’re an HBO fan and watch it for hours, you’ll have a faint HBO logo on your screen even when you’re watching a different program. You can avoid the problem by reducing the contrast to 50%.
  • Screens are fragile, but no worse than CRT screens. If a child kicks a ball at even the best plasma home tv they will destroy the screen in safety. But if they did the same with a CRT screen, it would implode, and flying fragments of glass could blind everyone within reach.
  • You must have really secure stands, as if the stand isn’t strong enough, or you trip while mounting the screen, the screen will stop working. It would be an expensive mistake.

So what is the best plasma home TV for you? Unfortunately that is still up to you. Technology is changing so fast that you can be sure that anything you buy will be inferior next year and the new models will be cheaper too.

So why should you buy now? If you wait because TV sets next year will be better, then next year you’ll have to wait because………………
