Hmm... I think the price is about the same for LCDs and Plasma over here. So it's a toss up between better picture and shorter life or worse picture, some dead pixels and easier repair. I'm leaning towards the plasma right now...are there any other advantages/disadvantages for the two? Also, what the heck are projection tvs?
|
Projection TVs are simple. They have a projector (usually installed in teh ceiling... if you're rich ;) )
They project the picture onto a screen. A rear projection simply projects onto the back of the screen... (in reverse, so that it appears the right way round from the front.) That means you need space behind the screen as well... and if a crt is too big... then a rear projection tv will be as well. |
Oh... so you couldn't buy normal DVD's to play on it? Or could you, and it would do whatever and project it?

Really... so my Xbox and stuff would work too, I suppose. How much space does it need to project it?
|
Big con to Plasma screens is a huge burn in issue. Plasma has a higher risk of burn in than CRT's do.
|
Burn? Do you mean starting on fire burning? Or some other kind of burning?

Burn in is when an image sits on your screen for awhile. later, say when you turn off the TV the image (rather a shadow of the image) is still there. The image is pretty much burnt into the screen. It'll be there forever.

<font color=skyblue>Actually, I take back what I said when I said I "thought" that Plasma was more expensive. This is why. I just now remembered that the guy at Circuit City told me that Plasma was a little cheaper than LCD these days for one reason. The media has spread the word that plasma has alot of problems and is harder to take care of and that one should only last a person 10-12 years. With that on the mind of a person, they'd be crazy to buy one over LCD...unless the price was too appealing.
For your comparison questions... Plasma or LCD?? Plasma or LCD?? </font> |
