Lets start with LCD TV
This choose is good if you want a thin, lightweight TV that comes in a range of sizes.The common LCD TV screen sizes ranges from 23 to 45 inches. Price wise for 32-inch is $1000 plus to $4000 for a 45-inch LCD TV. The price may have drop so is good to check for the latest price.
Here is what’s good about LCD TV. They are slim and the lightest type of TV. Even for size up to 40-inch-plus screens they are not heavy. High end LCDs have excellent picture quality. Native screen resolution tends to be higher than for a similar-sized plasma set, which allows for finer detail. Antireflective surface makes an LCD TV a good choice for bright settings.
Now to the not so good part,most LCD TVs still haven’t caught up with plasmas for viewing angle, color accuracy, and the ability to display the deepest blacks, although the best LCD sets have made strides on all those fronts. Some sets have difficulty displaying the gradations of subtle shading smoothly.
And off to PLASMA TV
Choose if you want a thin TV with a 42-inch or larger screen.Common screen sizes 42 to 50 inches; more 55- to 65-inch models arriving.The prices 42-inch, $1,500 to $4,000; 50-inch, $2,500 to $5,000.Hence price wise they are cheaper than LCD TV of comparable size.
The good thing about Plasma TVs is the capability of displaying vibrant, accurate colors and can render almost as deep a black as a picture-tube TV. The best are capable of excellent picture quality. There’s no limit to the viewing angle, so you can watch the set from anywhere in a room without quality suffering. Plasma TVs are thin, but relatively heavier compared to an LCD TV.
The problem with Plasma TV is the shiny surface of a the screen can create annoying reflections. And static images displayed for a long period of time–such as video games or stock tickers can cause burn in. However, more models have antireflective coatings and features to minimize burn-in. Plasma TVs tend to display more of the screen-door effect (visible pixel structure) than LCD sets. Some sets have difficulty displaying the gradations of subtle shading smoothly.
