Plasma Versus LCD - Who Shall Be Crowned Champion?

By Jarrod Harriot


There've been plenty of discussions going on lately talking about which one is the better television to acquire. Is it a plasma TV or is it an LCD TV? That's the burning question that most people want answered, and most people want to know who will win the battle of plasma versus Liquid crystal display. The best way to gain the proper understanding of which type of Television is better than the other would be to analyze their differences technically so we can take a good look at exactly what a plasma screen TV and Liquid crystal display TV really are. So let's do that, shall we? When you first look at both a Liquid crystal display Television and a plasma Television they actually look the same if you go by their appearances. But if you're somebody who's shrewd and used to scrutinizing the difference in things you'll notice the subtle dissimilarities if you really try to.

Your average plasma screen is designed with two panels of glass which are sandwiched between spaces that are compartmentalized and consist of millions of tiny plasma cells. These particular plasma cells need to be charged with a very precise amount of electrical voltage in order to create the picture that you watch on your television screen.

LED Power Consumption - Now if you truly would prefer to own a television that requires less energy to operate it then you're in for a treat because you'll want to purchase one of the LED models available today. They have plenty of energy efficient models available for you to choose from, so all you really need to do is shop around and see which model fits your precise specifications and then pay attention to the energy output and requirements that will be needed to operate the Television properly.

Plasma vs LED & Energy Consumption - Unless you really haven't been paying attention to what's been previously written, then you're obviously well aware that LED technology for televisions uses much less power than its counterpart the plasma Television. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, most modern televisions of the plasma variety really don't require all that much power to operate. The average cost of even some of the largest plasma screens will only run you between $5-$10 a month depending on what part of the country you live in and how much your energy bills average per kilowatt. But just to make another brief comparison the majority of the larger LED screens only cost about three dollars or less a month to operate on a regular basis.

Plasma versus LED in the future - As far as power consumption is concerned, the clear winner of this battle is the LED HDTV. But this is only one factor you need to consider when you are ready to make a purchase of this magnitude. There are many more things you want to factor in, and I'm sure the price is definitely going to be one of them. So be aware of this when you are making your next TV purchase.
