Plasma is a superior technology to LCD, I told and acknowledge the advantages and disadvantages of both technologies without bias, but are you "man enough" to accept them, or is Screen Smeari.. I mean LCD unconditionally the bestest without any faults. "But you lack the capacity to understand that." How does that condescending attitude work? The way you try so hard to act tech informed and superior is cringeworthy but amusing.  |
That's true, Plasma in many regards is superior to LCD, but not in every case.
* CCFL LCD has better gamut and in most instances beating LED LCD and Plasma.
* LED LCD usually has the best brightness. (And CCFL+Plasma's get darker with sheer age, LED stays as bright as the day you bought it.)
* Blacks easily go to plasma.
* Contrasts more often than not goes to Plasma's, however there are LCD panels (The one's with local dimming especially) that can beat the Plasma's, but they cost a pretty penny.
* Resolution goes to the LCD easily.
* Refresh Rate... There are genuine 120hz and 144hz panels available, beyond that most people don't notice an improvement, but the nod goes to Plasma.
* Power Consumption... Hands down LED LCD territory.
Thus, there really isn't an "ideal" panel that is PERFECT for all use-cases, of course buy the best that you can afford and think of it's use-case, for instance you would be batty to throw a Plasma onto a workstation PC that only shows the same thing 24/7 due to the Plasma's image retention, my local air port discovered how quickly Plasma's become useless in such scenario's.

To me, the disadvantages of LCD are bigger than its advantages, thats why I went with plasma 4 years ago. In a store room, LCD's definetly stand out more in a brightly lit store room, making people choose them one because it looks so flashy in that instant. But in a normal living room, you will definetly not feel like the Plasma is dark, the Dynamic option on my TV actually hurts my eyes after a while lol. Power consumption is higher on plasma's, but its something I'm not bothered with. Image retention is not a problem anymore like the older plasma's, my 4 year old tv has seen lots of static images of XMB and my HTPC's desktop for hours, it eventually goes away. I hope I can afford an OLED tv in a few years, seen one in mediamarkt, so good !
