Parrot on a PorchA Journey Toward the Little Mansion Dream

Buying a television set then was a lot easier. Before, the deciding factor in getting the traditional ones (CRTs) basically lies just on the brand. But now, one must have an understanding of the current technology about High Definition TVs (HDTV), before purchasing.

Here’s a rundown of the comparison and a few notes I’ve tabulated from my research.

1. LED by far is the newest but the most expensive among the three. Frugally speaking, experts suggest not to buy this just yet until price drops or technology further evolves. With that said, the succeeding notes will be concentrated on differentiating LCD and Plasma TVs. There’s no way we can go for the most expensive, unless Manny Pacquiao gives us one. Hehe!

2. Plasma is a bit better in the category of contrast ratio compared to LCD.

3. LCD handles still images better. Plasma has an edge for moving images though like chase scenes in movies.

4. If opting for large HDTVs like 50 inches and above, Plasma is a better choice because of its better electronics theory. Critics suggest to go for Samsung or LG as they have very large Plasmas that have proven to be very good.

5. LCD TVs use about half the power of Plasmas generally simply because the neon gas that is inside a plasma TV consumes more electricity to light up.

Critics and experts say that your choice should still boil down to what is just necessary. If you are just an average TV viewer who cares less about the picture quality difference, then just go for the one that fits your minimum requirement and more importantly, your budget.
