The development of technology puts buyers in front of a difficult choice , which technology to choose? Having decided to purchase a new flat TV, a person invariably faces a dilemma: what to choose, plasma or LED? Even specialists who evaluate the quality of the image from a professional point of view find it difficult to unambiguously determine what is better: LED or plasma?
The difference between plasma and LED
Let's try to consider from a technological point of view, than plasma differs from LED? Modern models of TVs - both plasma and LED - have a high-quality image, and the technical characteristics of the difference is also insignificant: the image on the panel transmits many millions of color shades that are elusive even by a trained human eye and has a high level of dynamic contrast, black depth.
LED has better picture in daylight. Also a big plus is that the LED TV can be used as a monitor to a computer. Plasma specialists are not recommended to connect to a PC, because a long statistical image causes burning of pixels. In addition, plasma TVs are more suitable for viewing telecasts and films in rooms with muted lighting.
Benefits of LED
The difference between plasma and LED is that if it is possible to produce LED TVs with both large panels (more than 50 ") and small screens (less than 17"), then plasma panels can not be less than 32 "in size. and the thickness of the LED case is noticeably smaller (less than 3 cm, and in some models generally less than 1 cm.) LED TVs are more advantageous in terms of power: their power consumption is approximately 2 times lower than that of a plasma TV of the same size. There is no fan, which is equipped with a plasma panel for cooling, cooling Its device creates a barely noticeable background noise.
Advantages of plasma
But comparison of plasma and LED, reveals and the advantages of plasma. Experts believe that plasma TVs show better ether broadcasts, the shortcomings of a bad signal in it are invisible, colors are more natural - the picture more closely resembles the usual image of an electron beam TV. Plasma TV has the advantage of response time, which allows you to better perceive dynamic scenes in movies, programs about sports events, as well as better display traffic in computer games.
Based on the comparison, you can give such general recommendations to potential TV buyers:
- Decide on the main goals of buying a TV: if you intend to watch broadcast programs and movies, then you will be more suited to plasma, if you plan to connect to a computer - choose LED.
- If you need a small panel (less than 32 "), clearly your choice is LED (because plasma with such a diagonal is not available), if the average diagonal (32" - 40 "), then the prices for TVs will be approximately equal if the big diagonal more than 40 "), it is better to choose a plasma, it is likely to be cheaper.
- When buying a TV, consider the size of the room where the TV will be placed. For a large room where a TV can
to be at a sufficiently large distance from the viewer, it is better to choose a plasma TV. - If you are concerned about the issue of saving electricity, then buy an LED. Of course, the plasma consumes little energy even compared to the computer, but more than an LED TV.
As you can see, some differences between LED TVs and plasma are available, but on the whole they are equivalent. These wonderful high-tech devices will perfectly brighten up your leisure time!
