What Are The Advantages Of A Big Screen Plasma TV?

Combine the large screen impact of the cinema, natural, rich colours and state-of-the- art sound and you start to get an idea of what you're missing. The difference is stark: it's the gulf between Herbie Goes Bananas and  Days of Thunder, the NASCAR movie epic… or colour TV and black and white.

If you own DVDs or have access to movies and other programming in widescreen format, for example, a plasma screen will enable you to view them in a completely new light. The bold colours and large screen size will provide the viewing platform they were meant for.

Widescreen movies and programming are filmed or broadcast in roughly the same proportions as cinema footage. Hence, if you watch a widescreen TV show or movie on a non-widescreen television the image will appear between black borders top and bottom. A flat panel plasma screen enables perfect viewing of both widescreen and conventional 4:3 format.

Most plasma screens now detect the format and automatically display the optimum picture to avoid the TV images becoming stretched and distorted.

Just a bigger screen, that is.
