Why is Plasma Better?
The debate about why is plasma TV better is never ending. Given the fact that LCD Tv is fast catching up in terms of price, quality and popularity, it’s not surprising that this debate topic is even getting hotter. From what I can conclude between the two system, which is better depends on which attributes you are comparing with.
If side by sides comparing which type is better, overall LCD does has an edge over Plasma. However this does not mean plasma does not has it’s merits. Plasma has so far dominate the following over these areas.
1) Excellent contrast and black level displays. Thus far LCD TVs have not been able to address this area well. Hence plasma is best for watching movies and be part of your home theater experience.

2) Plasma TVs provide a wide viewing angle which means if you are watching the TV at an angle, the pictures do not suffer any drop in quality. However it’s not the same with LCD TV. For LCD TV, the images look the best only when viewed directly in-front but when viewed at an angle, the quality drops.
3) Best bang for your buck for bigger screens. The prices of plasma TVs with bigger screen sizes, like 50 inch and above cost much less than an LCD equivalent. Hence when shopping for a wide and bigger screens that meet your needs and budget, a plasma TV can be just the right candidate.
Well the above are three reasons why is plasma better? There is however one more fact I forgot to add to the list and that is plasma has got no ghosting problems for fast moving pictures as do some LCD TVs. However LCD technologies have seemed to caught up on this part and high end LCDs have minimized this issue.
