An LCD television uses individual lights to create an image on the screen. TVs with LCD imaging have a relatively long life span, lasting an average of 15 years with regular use. LCD TVs are much lighter than traditional televisions and generally even slightly lighter than most Plasma TVs. LCD televisions are known for the high levels of brightness they can achieve, but contrast and black levels are where an LCD TV typically loses to a Plasma television.
As mentioned before, the LCD uses individual lights to create the images, therefore it must block out these lights to create black. Also on the negative side of LCD televisions is the pixels. When the viewer is watching a fast paces show, such as a sporting event or an action film the image will often be unclear and look pixelated.
With a plasma TV, it is said that you will have the best brightness and contrast rates, along with some of the truest looking blacks possible. Plasmas are only available in larger sizes, 37 inches and higher, however are the more affordable choice when you are looking for a 42 inch television or larger. Another great thing about plasma televisions are that they can be viewed from any angle in the room, without picture clarity failing. This makes it simpler to place in your room without having to rearrange you furniture so that everyone can have a clear view.
