I’m not very knowledgeable when it comes to this, I know that LCD and Plasma have been out for a while now, as well as DLP. Just recently I saw one of those brand new LED Tvs.
So…which of these would be my ideal choice? I would use it much like anyone else would (gaming, watching blu-ray movies, HD programming, etc.)
Which of these offers the best overall picture quality? What are the strengths and weaknesses with each of these TVs?
Thanks!
In terms of picture quality…Plasma is the best!
Plasma TV’s = super high contrast ratios(2,000,000:1 dynamic; 40,000:1 native), giving you blackest blacks and more vivid and rich looking colors! Also have the fastest response times(.001ms) as well as fastest refresh rates(600hz), making them perfect for fast motion content like sports, movies & gaming. Currently…the only negative with today’s Plasma’s is energy consumption. On average uses the same as regular LCD’s but uses 40% more then LED LCD’s!
LED TV’s = high contrast ratios(3,000,000:1 dynamic; 15,000:1 native). Close to Plasma’s in pic quality(lower native contrast ratios)! However…response times(2ms) and refresh rates(240hz) still slower then Plasma’s! The main negative with LED LCD’s right now is cost! Very, very expensive compared to similar sized Plasma’s and LCD’s!
As for regular LCD’s, they tend to work ok for games as long as they have very fast response times! However, they generally do not come close to Plasma’s and LED’s in black levels or color saturation! They tend to have more ‘greyed’ blacks and washed out colors!
DLP’s on the other hand have very stunning pic qualities like LED’s and Plasma’s! However, they are very problematic and require new expensive lamps every couple thousand hours of use. Making them a bad long term investment!
Dollar for dollar…Plasma TV’s are the best performing HDTV out their right now! Great picture qualities for an affordable price! http://www.plasma-lcd-facts.co.uk/
