In the past TV technologies in which there were a number of key advantages in buying plasma over LCD HDTV or a TV with a videocassette recorder (or VCR), Plasma HDTV was less expensive in larger screen sizes, produced far better blacks than LCD technology or your old VCR, and was considered better for sports fans because action remained clear and crisp. LCD provided a sharper static picture, but was confined to smaller screen sizes and tended to blur slow panning shots or action.
And with today’s quality, the LCD High Definition TVs have largely corrected these problems while remaining competitively priced through the 55-inch or 140cm screen size. In many ways the comparison is a draw and might come down to just one or two points that make LCD or plasma the better choice for personal needs. For the ease of watching TV in the comfort of your home.
