LCD vs Plasma: 'the differences are narrowing'

11 Dec 2007 17:26

In an interview for kvue.com, Harlan Lawson of A&B TV states that there are a number of issues that separate the two home entertainment options and one of these is what the panel is going to be used for.

He said that LCD monitors often give a sharper and finer picture resolution, are more manoeuvrable and are not as susceptible to glare - making them an ideal choice if the unit is to be placed by a window.

However, it was noted that plasma TV's have traditionally offered a better picture on the larger models and that although they are prone to screen burn this is not as much of a concern as it has been in the past.

"Burning is probably the biggest worry on a plasma panel. It's not as bad as it use to be, but it can still happen," he said.

In a recent review for Cnet.com, senior editor David Katzmaier listed his five favourite high-definition units, among which were two LCD TVs and two plasma models. The fifth unit listed was a 52-inch rear-projection model from Panasonic.
