Buying Guide - Plasma TVs
Why a plasma?
The first thing to ascertain when buying a new High Definition TV is which model best suits what you are looking for. Plasma televisions offer high resolution pictures and can display image resolutions from 720p - with some better models able to display 1080i and 1080p.
Plasma TVs are versatile with the range of signals they are capable of displaying too. They can receive VGA and SVGA signals which means you can hook the display up to your computer, as well as display standard TV pictures and HD signals. They also offer the best quality colour reproduction of any flat panel TVs in the market displaying up to 16.77 million colours and providing an accurate picture quality that is extremely lifelike.
Plasma TVs come in a comprehensive size range and tend to be the best value options for display sizes of over 50 inches. The price difference from Plasma and its competitors is much closer in sizes from 50 to 37 inches - although Plasma options are a tad cheaper. But if you are looking for a smaller screen, maybe for your bedroom, then an LCD option could be the better option. Plasma HD TV's have perfectly flat displays which, as well as eradicating edge distortion, provide viewing angles better than LCD or projection options can offer. Some models can even offer a 170° viewing angle so regardless of where you are sat in the room you will experience the best quality pictures.
Picture
HD TVs come with either HD ready or full HD picture specifications. HD ready TVs have the ability to display 720p and 1080i formats, have a minimum vertical resolution of 750 pixels in widescreen and have an HDMI or Digital Video interface. Full HD offers a better picture quality than HD ready specs with a minimum 1920 x 1080 resolution and the ability to show 1080p with no distortion. With progressive pixels an 1080p resolution display gives a sharper picture than a 1080i resolution which has interlaced pixels. This is mainly noticeable in moving pictures where the 1080i can be blurry compared to the clearer 1080p. But motion tracking on Plasma TVs is generally excellent and they prove a good choice if you want to watch sport at its best.
Plasma HD TVs have a widescreen 16:9 viewing ratio which is the chosen ratio for HD TV content and different models use varyingly efficient methods to scale images that are in the standard 4:3 format. Some models do it better than others and the best Plasma HD TVs use a combination of methods to reduce any noticeable stretching of images. It's worth checking this out before you splash your well-earned cash. Some Plasma HD TVs also include anti-glare coatings which would be handy if your TV is positioned in the sun but this is normally a feature of high-end models. The pricier Plasma TV will also have colour filters to further improve the quality of the picture on offer.
