Which Is Better Plasma Or LCD Televisions And Why?

Ah, finally a good tech question
Plasma looks nicer. Has very pretty colors and such, however, plasma TVs are VERY expensive and use a lot more electricity to run.
LCD technology has been refined to the point where it has achieved true HD clarity, is lighter, and definitely cheaper, both in initial cost and in cost of running.
Plasma takes even longer to come on than LCD does, so if you hate to wait for your picture...

Plasma is Bling. It looks nicer, but because of the expense is often paired with a sub-par sound system. Sure you could buy a 7.1 surround sound system, but that is additional expense.

So, which is better? Plasma is nice if you have a LOT of money to spend on the TV, sound system, and power. LCD will still give you very nice HD, at a cheaper cost.

As long as you stay away from the bottom-rack LCD TVs, your best bet is LCD. In the Mid-range, you get price, picture, and decent sound.

In my opinion, this makes LCD tech better.

It all depends on the price range you are looking at, Plasma screens are more heavy duty, whereas LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) can be easily damaged while cleaning or with children who fight over who is going to turn the TV on first!! The Plasma screen TVs as said by [shr3dd3r08] are more expensive but they do last longer in the long run and are much more worth their money
