Actually both plasma and lcd have their advantages Mark.
Expected duration of the plasma screen is about 30 000 hours.
Itf its turned on 8 hrs[ch733][ch733] a day that's 10 years.
And the contrast is way better, and no dead pixels on it and black colour on plasma is actually black. And usually it's cheaper
LCD is lighter, consumes far less power, and can have higher resolution (this doesn't always mean better picture).
Probably people should compare by looking and then deciding what to buy
Very wrong....its not the screens that have issues, its the drive electronics. The plasma pixel requires a pre-charge (to wake it up), a strike (to light it), a hold period and tehn a discharge (to turn it off).....its the electronics driving the panel that are the issue. I did a review on a new Matsushita drive chip a few years ago, the package was running at max dissipation which is clearly where the life limit comes from.
And you dont get tru black....unless its turned off because the phosphor has a glow time of approx 30 seconds!
Contrast is the same now....so thats not a plus by any means
And dead pixels are just as likley because the same technology is used for the interconnects!
