!±8± How to select the best Flat screen Tv

Choosing the right technology

Plasma and Lcd Tvs look the same, but they are not. Some features or options don't differ a lot, but these are the major differences:

Size

If you arfe seeing for an extra large Tv, go for a plasma. Plasma Tvs are the current size champions, particularly when comparing Tvs that consumers can no ifs ands or buts purchase. Lcds are catching up in size with their developing technology, however, and may surpass Plasmas in the near future. This may be due to difficulties in producing glass large sufficient for larger plasmas.

Burn-ins

With the most recent plasma technology, this is less of an issue than ever before. The Pixel Orbitor, for example, is a recipe of reducing burn-in used by plasma manufacturers. It requires no supplementary programing from the end user as some older burn-in stoppage techniques did.
Note: If you plan to use a plasma for gaming, some games with permanent 'dashboards' may still cause some burn-in. If you will be using the television for display use only, go for an Lcd. Plasmas are more likely to get burned-in pixels.

Miscellaneous

- Lcd Tvs are far less fragile than plasmas. This is also an advantage when the tv set has to be shipped or moved to a distinct location.

- Lcd Tvs are also much easier to install than plasma Tvs.

- Lcd Tvs have a better carrying out at high altitudes.

- Lcd Tvs are often economy than plasma Tvs. The variation in pricing is getting smaller, however.

Ofcourse, all this data is available all over the web. For a detailed comparison sheet, I suggest using Wikipedia's comparison sheet.
