Technology can be a bit confusing when you are dealing with terminology. Take for example LCD and plasma TVs and how most people do not realize that there is a distinct difference. Sure both are flat screen televisions, but the technology behind that glorious clear picture is vastly different.

To further complicate matters, you have to also realize that not every flat screen television or flat screen monitor is actually a plasma or LCD.

The main difference in LCD and plasma TVs is in how the picture is made. Plasma and LCD televisions both have exceptional quality. In the plasma, two sheets of glass are placed together and gas is pumped between the two. The particles are charged and give off green, red and blue phosphors.

A plasma TV has two pieces of glass and gas is pumped in between. The gas is charged and the particles, once struck by the gas, give off red, green and blue phosphors. This process produces pixels and makes up the picture.

So the question remains, between the two, which one is the best? When deciding it is inportant to note that plasma televisions will experience what is called "screen burn", caused by a heat build up when the set is left on too long.

If a static image remains on the screen for a long time, screen burn happens and the image stays on the screen permanently. This can also easily happen with computer monitors.

LCD and plasma TVs are probably still considered much better than their predecessors. They are much slimmer and are generally preferred because they take up less space. They can even be hung on walls with the proper mounting equipment and brackets, or you can purchase LCD and plasma tv stands.

If you decide to buy a plasma or LCD television, then compare the differences and then decide for yourself.
