LCD or plasma: screen size

LCD or plasma: screen size
After studying the differences between plasma and LCD televisions in relation to issues such as contrast, brightness and color, now we move around in a classic battle of televisions: the size and other negative aspects associated with plasmas and LCDs, as the effect of burning the screen, life expectancy or the issue of dead pixels.
Until recently, the size of a screen forced us to decide entry by a type of display. If we wanted teams with a diagonal over the 37-inch, the choice was clearly a plasma TV. Below that size, the LCD reigned at your leisure. The progress of both technologies has led us to be already on the market plasmas smaller, and above all, LCD televisions with no problem reaching the diagonals classic plasmas. In fact, we could still say that for large sizes, value for money still benefits the teams plasma.
Without wishing to enter absurd wars, choosing the right size screen can bring many benefits. There is nothing scientific item, but they are very sensible recommendations. Of course, this aspect comes into play what everyone wants, and if you prefer a television so much larger than can afford because they think that they are going to enjoy it more, as is their right.
Finally, in this part of the special on television, let’s see who wins in the battle for life. In other words, what we will run more TV without the image is resentment. As many know, wins LCD TV, because plasma technology has a lifespan smaller motivated by the progressive erosion of the matches, at some point that worsen the image up to a limit not admitted.
Thus, the average tells us that a plasma TV keeps an image of acceptable quality about 25,000 hours, compared with more than 50,000 hours of an LCD TV. Frankly, with the pace of updating technology, I do not think a determining factor even less, because it is fairly certain that in 10-13 years that we could in theory take a plasma TV, and we renewed the TV.
