So many of you have asked "which TV or Monitor screen is better?" We hope these descriptions, pros & cons will help with your decision. Personally, budget to me is a major consideration because technology is changing so rapidly - so much technology today is considered "throw-away" so it makes no sense to invest a lot of money...
PLASMA SCREENS use gas plasma cells charged by precise electrical voltages to create a picture.
Plasma Pros:
• Better black rendering, contrast ratio and ability for more color depth
• Better motion tracking (response time) and available in very large screen sizes.
Plasma Cons:
• susceptible to burn-in (being reduced with technology improvements the past few years)
• they generate more heat and consume more power
• screen glare in brightly lit rooms
• heavier weight, and more delicate to ship
LCD SCREENS (Liquid Crystal Display) are layers of liquid crystal pushed into the space between two glass plates. Images are created by varying the amount of electrical charge applied to the crystals
LCD Pros
• No burn-in susceptibility and they run cooler than plasma & consume less power
• less screen glare, look better in brightly lit rooms & more functional at high altitudes
• longer display life (although improvements are being made in Plasma screen life)
LCD Cons
• Lower contrast ratio
• not as good rendering deep blacks
• not as good at tracking motion (but this is improving- look for at least 120 Hz or 240 Hz)
LED SCREENS (Light Emitting Diodes) use backlighting vs. fluorescent lights used in traditional LCD televisions
• LED Pros & Cons are almost the same as LCD but LED come with better contrast ratio, better picture quality , super slim and 40% less power consumption but higher price
