The Myths Surrounding
Plasma TV Technology
One of the most common misconceptions is that
Plasma Screens only
last about 5 years. Perhaps this was true of some of the
very first models, but nowadays you should expect them
to last at least as long as conventional TVs.
Another worry is that the gas in a
Plasma TV display needs replacing every 2
years. Fortunately this is not true. Plasma screens
should not need any additional service to extend the
screen's lifetime.
Our third myth at least has some truth to it. This is
that Plasma Screens
are particularly susceptible to screen burn - this
happens when an image is left in the same place on the
screen for too long, like those pesky channel logos, and
you're left with a permanent residue of the offending
image. It is true that Plasma screens are more
susceptible than conventional televisions (mainly in
their first 50-100 hours of use) however, at the time of
writing, many models come fitted with a variety of
features designed to eradicate screen burn. That said,
it is probably a good idea not to leave it on all night
and to ensure that the screensaver on your DVD player is
switched on.
What is Plasma TV Up
Against
CRT (Cathode Ray Tube):
This is television as we currently know it, but these
bulky boxes have a physical size limitation and are
difficult to make much larger than 36 inches. (However,
the world's largest has recently come out at 40 inches).
Plasma TVs begin at 32 inches, with the most popular
size being 42 inches.
Rear Projection:
Essentially a self-contained projector and screen. They
commonly range between 40 - 60 inches but if you thought
normal CRTs were big and bulky...
Front Projection:
Video projectors work much like a real cinema. You'll
need either a white wall or a screen on which to project
the picture and you'll need to black out the room if you
want to see what's going on. They aren't great if you
just want to catch the headlines, but they do offer a
discrete, compact option for watching movies or big
sporting events.
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display):
The main rival for Plasma TV, these displays have been
developed from the screens of the pocket calculator.
Like Plasma they are flat, but are limited in size
(although, at the time of writing 30-40 inch models have
just become available). They also tend to have a limited
viewing angle.
