While compared to a LCD TV, plasma TVs always have a better contrast ratio and more colour depth. Also the response time and availability in large screens is better for Plasma TVs. But does that make Plasma TV a clear winner when it comes to choosing a flat screen television? Not exactly. Though Plasma TVs have a few advantages over LCD TVs, they have a few disadvantages too. They are more susceptible to burn-in, generate more heat, screen glares in a brightly lit room, and are also weightier and much more delicate. Added to this, Plasma TVs do not perform well in high altitudes.
At the same time LCD TVs are lighter and if you are planning to upgrade your home theatre system with a Blu-ray disc, HD-DVD etc. then LCD TV may turn out to be more cost effective option than Plasma TVs.
Though in terms of external looks, plasma and LCD TV can be much similar due to their flat panel, the technology used in both differs immensely. In a Plasma TV the display consists of cells and the glass panels are separated within two cells by a narrow gap. A neon-xenon gas is injected and sealed in plasma form within this gap. LCD TVs on the other hand has two transparent layers glued to each other. One of the layers is coated with special polymers and holds liquid crystals that pass or block lights when current is passed through them.
