Yet, it's a matter of comparing given that not all LCDs are the same (now there's also LED) and how much you care.
i think led is the way to go but in some cases my human eye could not tell the difference between led and an lcd tv on some particular brands comparing them. Go for led or lcd. I had a plasma but took it back and got an lg lcd. It was a night and day difference. It was way better

@crutchfieldtv So now that "IPS" LCDs are becoming more mainstream, are plasmas still the superior tv for color production? I am stuck between buying a plasma tv or IPS monitor and want the best picture quality possible. Thanks
@ibanez0830 It's really a matter or personal preference. No one can tell you what looks best to you. Having said that, many of the LED televisions that offer dynamic illumination (Different manufacturers call this feature different things: Dynamic, Micro Dimming, local dimming, etc.) of the LEDs can offer brightness and conrast that is comperable, and in some cases superior, to that of a Plasma display.

@GameNewsPs3 I own a PS3 and have it hooked up to a Panasonic Plasma St30. It is amazing. I have never had any issues with image retention. I will play straight for 3-5 hours.
@FrozenParanormalwolf i have had my plasma tvs from earlier models years on 24 hrs . sometimes i would sleep with the tv paused and i would never get burn in, . i even turned off the safety features and still drama free. i game 12+ hrs a day , cod halo no problem no sign of issues with burn in, .
@ utooberblooper Look first of all, I never posted ANY comments in here regarding LCD or plasma televisions. Secondly, I don't appreciate your comments as to my grammar, considering I GRADUATED from college and write just fine!
Plasmas seem better, they will last you longer in the long run. 600HZ 0 MS Response time, 1080p, better colour and dark levels. The only thing is they are so dam expensive :/
The biggest downside to a plasma is the sheer inefficiency. 500 Watts for a 42 inch monitor is insane. You can tell by the amount of heat being generated that much of the consumed power is simply wasted, and I thought CRT was bad.
@Superbatron the back labels on the power watts does not mean it will run at that watt, thats the peak max. it uses less to operate, although i dont argue its a useful heater on a 50" plasma that runs 24 hrs on most of its life. plasma does generate more power then lcd but the difference is unnoticeable but the superior quality of the plasma is very noticeable
a burn in is when u leave a image without movement for a period of time and the image gets "burned in". U can see the affects by changing your tv to the input (black screen) an example would be the tv channel logos, they remain in the corner of the tv but when they get " burned in" they stay there for a while.
I have a 42" Samsung plasma TV and love it. Bought it in 2007 and burn-in is not really a big issue. Yes it occurs on channels with tickers or sports scores and some HUDs on video games, but 3-5 mins of the screen wipe or changing the channel to a movie will take care of it. This is on an older tv...burn-in on new gen plasma's is less of a problem. Never had any permanent ghosting at all or even when watching regular tv.

@xBorg6of9x That depends greatly on the reason for your eye fatigue. Because we do not know what is causing your eyes to hurt now, we cannot say that plasma would be the cure for the issue.

@gustavo88115 A lot depends on the screen size and personal preference. While 1080p is a better resolution, you really won’t benefit from the additional pixels in a smaller screen size.

@crutchfieldtv Which would you recommend LG 50 inch Freeview Plasma HDTV 50PK590 or the LG 47LV355U 47 inch LED HDTV. I cannot decide which one to buy .
dont get a Lg i work with tvs and those tv s have the high failure rate if you want a plasma go with a panasonic if not get a samsung led thats it nothing else trust me i know
@gustavo88115 I have a 43" 720p plasma, a 59" 1080p plasma and a 51" 1080p plasma, all Samsungs. I had Sony LCDs in the past and I can't tell you how glad I am that I switched to plasma. The image has darker blacks, better color and dynamic contrast. Don't worry to much about the 720p vs 1080p. My 43" 720p looks great sisde by side with the 1080p. As far as plasm not lasting as long as an LCD, that was in the past. Both will last 70,000 hours. What TVs are you looking at?
@Xbox360bbb Good catch! We are referring to the Plasma televisions brands that we carry as there are some other companies that make them smaller than 42".
@crutchfieldtv then why not say that? say in the video 'We are referring to the Plasma televisions brands that we carry' ? a guy had to actually reveal it to everyone, instead when it should have been you. Your Decieving everyone abd this guy revealed the decieviety. that shouldnt have happened
The new plasmas like panasonic tx-p50x20e are awesome last really long had now in 1 year i swear i have my tv on all day and play games and its still cool not warm.
se acuerda de los anteriores plasma tv , cuando por el tiempo de uso dejaban marcas permanentes de las imagenes que se veian osea quedaban marcadas las figuras como fondo como una sombra permanente en su interior , no se si tendran ese mismo efecto en los tv plasma de ahora.
i love how people votes lcd :) cuz i was starting to think it was a waste of money cuz when ever i watch a movie the people move diffrently than my old tv, but i still enjoy my 55in lcd x)
Wow idk why people keep saying LCD have lag when playing video games it doesn't have any fucking lag you probably have older designs cause my LCD has beautiful images and no lag.
forget about plasma dont listen to this guy, plasma has too mnay problems, you'll start seeing black pathches in parts of your screen, besides no matter what manufacturers say plasma TV's have a lower life expectancy than LCD or LED, plasma is already being phased out, manufacturers like sony have already stopped plasma production, its outdated technology ... this video was made 2 years ago ...... what you should buy is LED ...
Hi I was thinking about buying a HDTV for gaming on ps3 and xbox 360. I been researching for awhile on both and I was wondering what would you recommend
For gaming. I know LCD how a motion blur problem how bad is this problem? I also hear plasmas did have a burnin problem is Burn ins still a major problem today or is that problem fixed? Thanks
You should check out our video response to this video, it's in response to others that asked the same question as you, it's called "LCD vs. Plasma For Gaming"
Hope that answers your questions.
If you still have questions after that, call us, we can help you decide what's best for you.
@bbbeenn32 Plasma TVs are better for video games because they do not lag. If you play video games that require fast response time, like fighting games, for instance, you want to go Plasma. LCDs all lag but there are some that have an enhanced response time so it takes them only like 1 or 2 milliseconds. The response time for Plasma however is like 0. So depending on what time of games you play, I recommend Plasma.
Plasma has the best picture quality. If you have no experience in TV repair, CALL A Professional. Call you manufacture for an authorized service center.
BUY a new TV if your TV Screen is cracked. Anything else we can fix. . . . . .

Might want to watch our other video on this subject, "LCD VS. Plasma for gaming."
It used to be true that only a person that didn't care about their plasma only lasting a short while would play video games on it, and burn images in, those were the early days of plasma. Newer plasmas resist burn-in so well that you have to work hard at burning an image in.
Some will retain an image temporarily if you leave it there too long, but it can be "wiped" off.
Sweet! I like plasma better. Having owned both, and comparing them side by side with the same material on an HDMI splitter the difference is night and day. No more "soap opera" like movement. Whoop Whoop! With burn in protection you don't have to worry about burn in. IN fact, without it you would still have to display the same picture for more than t days straight! You can use a plasma as you would have used a CRT tv.
@berzerker11 As a hardcore gamer I recently went from a 120hz lcd to a plasma. I'll never go back. It's much more fluid, and you don't get that horrible artifacting (even with the 120hz turned on).
@shobin05 You clearly do not know what you are talking about. The black levels of a plasma TV is much better than a LED/LCD TV. As per the newer plasma TVs, the refresh rate of those are much higher (equivalent to 600Hz equivalent of LCDs) compared to LEDs (300Hz/240Hz). The only reason why you would buy an LED is if the location that you are putting it in is very bright and that the power consumption is lower. Also, most of the newer Plasma TVs have burn in protection as well.
@AmadeusAslee yes, i clearly do not know anything about tvs...i didnt know plasma has burn in protection, are u sure about that? im considering one...
@AmadeusAslee The 600hz is actually just for advertisements. Plasmas are built with 10 or so panels put together. The 600hz is actually derived from each panel refreshing 60 times a second (60hz). All they've done is add them up. It's just to compete with the 240hz and whatnot of lcd's becaue that's the buzzword these days. Remember when 720P was the buzzword? Then it was replaced with 1080P, and now it's replaced with HZ.
@AmadeusAslee ...the only panel that was worthy of replacing my 53" CRT RPHDTV Panasonic, was SED, but since that looks like it got buried, my CRT will stay... it's too bad too, because SED (basically a thin, flat CRT on steriods) was 10x's better than anything you can buy today.
OLCD is a misspelling, it's actually OLED. It stands for organic light-emitting diode. It's a material that can be used in making extremely thin TVs. Sony made one called the XEL-1 a couple years ago.
It has yet to be used widely for large, super thin TV screens. For now, you'll find it in digital camera LCD screens and such.
@pedrodenadal People with tons of money. I worked on a house (electrician) where the guy had a tv put in EVERY room of the house. Even had 30" tv's in the bathrooms.
@eseblue13 Yes definitely. Low input lag, deep blacks, no off axis issues, and deep contrast. THX Mode on the Panasonic G25 has a very realistic look. And the anti-reflective filter on that tv is very good.
Comparing LCD and plasma is like the special olympics. Whatever the winner is, it's still retarded. Both technologies are rubbish compared to a Sony Trinitron.
Bought me a Samsung 40 630....Got it three days. SHould have seen this. My eyes hurt (even if I turn brightness and contrast way down) , it seems flat almost no depth in the picture. Looks great and is recommended and I have the right series (SQ and not AU panel). Still...it is not for me. Panasonic P42S20 will be it. I don't like the looks, but according to this advice (and others) and reviews it seems to ne the best option available...
new model plasmas do not have burn in. look at any crt or tube tvs. they actually have burn in but do you notice it? yes shitty sanyo or something sucks with burn in but shitty lcds have 700:1 contrast and 40 degree viewing angle with horrible, horrible black levels. now take new model panasonic plasmas and new model sharp aquas lcds. the plasma will have darker blacks, more colors, run at a higher hertz, and NO BURN-IN. dont get me wrong aquas are awesome but even my lg plasma is a lttle better
Plasmas are good for people who want something big but have a budget, while lcd are better for gaming as said by sony but the do cost a bit more due to quality, i see why you prefer plasmas i recently brought a new 2011 plasma but the picture was just a bit clearer on my lcd so i swapped my plasma for another plasma and had the same problem. So anyway i googled it and found out its a common problem.
i used to agree they were good for gaming until i realised plasmas can produce more colors than lcd, so i went in my settings and turned down the contrast, color saturation, and brightness to a more lcd look and now its great. if im watching a movie or playing a game where... lets say a shines its head lights when im in a dim room i actually need to squint cause of the brightness capabilties of a plasma. not for everyone but i like that. also ps3 has full range rgb and 'super white' settings
yea i agree they produce more colors but the quality isnt as good as an lcd image it may look better in slow paced but in a fast paced game the lcd doesnt leave a blur/ghost effect while every plasma does mianly the blur, so it hurts your eyes a bit to focus while moving on a game like black ops.
@0ChrisMackle0 you've got that wrong... LCD blurs, plasma doesn't suffer from any of those problems. I'm playing black ops on a 60" LG 60PK550 right now and w/ 600hz SubField driving.. it's FLUID. Not on the LED/LCD upstairs. Do some research. Plasma doesn't suffer from any of the problems LCD does because of the way it produces the picture.
@djruinerdotcom why would i make this up you stupid fuck. seems like your going around bragging about the pk550 but the joke is on you because the fucking thing has input lag which is not acceptable for hardcore gamers like myself. you can "doubt" me all you want but there's no "doubt" the pk550 has input lag and is not the best for gaming!
@xkillaz18x i just got it in jan so its prob the 2011 one... it says 0.001ms.. I dont know I dont notice any input lag and i'm a pretty hardcore gamer. Def no blur. The panny is definitely a better TV though. Would like to have got a VT25 but I got this new for $750 so couldn't pass it up! It's whatever you like really!
your wrong, plasmas do blur, you may not notice it because your use to it but look it up on google it is a newly discovered problem as far as i know, like the surveys said by sony 86% of call of duty players prefer lcd over plasma, im pretty sure its on the cod site otherwise goto sony.
really, because of burn in? new models dont even have burn in anymore, they fixed the problem with the retained charge in the green. lcd still suffer from lag (and always will since its liquid crystals that take split second time to twist to expose the backlight) they will also never have as high of true contrast since the backlight is somewhat consistant and plasmas are individual mini bulbs that can dim. lcd blacks can never get blacker plasmas can. why would lcd win with so many problems?
Smoothness of motion is about frames per second, which is affected by the hardware in the machine you are using for playback. Also you forgot to mention that plasma TVs can have an image burned onto them, sometimes permanently if you leave 1 picture on them too long, rather like you're doing now! Do you want to see a bunch of overpaid footballers next time you want to watch Pirates of the Carribean in 1080p? Thought not. Get an LCD or LED.
lcds work with blackish liquid crystals twisting to reveal a backlight, this takes a moment which causes slight lag. plasma uses gas lit with electricity, instant creating a smother motion. LEDs are the same with a led backlight instead. true LEDs are called OLED.i have a 50" lg plasma with all the perks and filters, i use it as my pc monitor (like right now) after about 8 hours of the windows symbol in the bottom right there is never burn in. only old model plasmas have that problem.

please tell me which is better plasma720 p or LCD 1080 p.
gustavo88115 4 months ago 2
@gustavo88115 A lot depends on the screen size and personal preference. While 1080p is a better resolution, you really won’t benefit from the additional pixels in a smaller screen size. Plasmas will generally provide a brighter picture and greater contrast than conventional LCD models. So it’s a matter of what’s more important to you specifically.

@gustavo88115 I have a 43" 720p plasma, a 59" 1080p plasma and a 51" 1080p plasma, all Samsungs. I had Sony LCDs in the past and I can't tell you how glad I am that I switched to plasma. The image has darker blacks, better color and dynamic contrast. Don't worry to much about the 720p vs 1080p. My 43" 720p looks great sisde by side with the 1080p. As far as plasm not lasting as long as an LCD, that was in the past. Both will last 70,000 hours. What TVs are you looking at?

@bbbeenn32 Plasma TVs are better for video games because they do not lag. If you play video games that require fast response time, like fighting games, for instance, you want to go Plasma. LCDs all lag but there are some that have an enhanced response time so it takes them only like 1 or 2 milliseconds. The response time for Plasma however is like 0. So depending on what time of games you play, I recommend Plasma.

Might want to watch our other video on this subject, "LCD VS. Plasma for gaming."
It used to be true that only a person that didn't care about their plasma only lasting a short while would play video games on it, and burn images in, those were the early days of plasma. Newer plasmas resist burn-in so well that you have to work hard at burning an image in.
Some will retain an image temporarily if you leave it there too long, but it can be "wiped" off.

Sweet! I like plasma better. Having owned both, and comparing them side by side with the same material on an HDMI splitter the difference is night and day. No more "soap opera" like movement. Whoop Whoop! With burn in protection you don't have to worry about burn in. IN fact, without it you would still have to display the same picture for more than t days straight! You can use a plasma as you would have used a CRT tv.

shobin05 11 months ago
@shobin05 You clearly do not know what you are talking about. The black levels of a plasma TV is much better than a LED/LCD TV. As per the newer plasma TVs, the refresh rate of those are much higher (equivalent to 600Hz equivalent of LCDs) compared to LEDs (300Hz/240Hz). The only reason why you would buy an LED is if the location that you are putting it in is very bright and that the power consumption is lower. Also, most of the newer Plasma TVs have burn in protection as well.
AmadeusAslee 11 months ago
@AmadeusAslee yes, i clearly do not know anything about tvs...i didnt know plasma has burn in protection, are u sure about that? im considering one...
shobin05 11 months ago
@AmadeusAslee The 600hz is actually just for advertisements. Plasmas are built with 10 or so panels put together. The 600hz is actually derived from each panel refreshing 60 times a second (60hz). All they've done is add them up. It's just to compete with the 240hz and whatnot of lcd's becaue that's the buzzword these days. Remember when 720P was the buzzword? Then it was replaced with 1080P, and now it's replaced with HZ.
alloriginal 10 months ago
@AmadeusAslee ...the only panel that was worthy of replacing my 53" CRT RPHDTV Panasonic, was SED, but since that looks like it got buried, my CRT will stay... it's too bad too, because SED (basically a thin, flat CRT on steriods) was 10x's better than anything you can buy today.

@jjalepeno55
OLCD is a misspelling, it's actually OLED. It stands for organic light-emitting diode. It's a material that can be used in making extremely thin TVs. Sony made one called the XEL-1 a couple years ago.
It has yet to be used widely for large, super thin TV screens. For now, you'll find it in digital camera LCD screens and such.
Hope that helps,

Bought me a Samsung 40 630....Got it three days. SHould have seen this. My eyes hurt (even if I turn brightness and contrast way down) , it seems flat almost no depth in the picture.

I don't like the looks, but according to this advice (and others) and reviews it seems to ne the best option available...

@joggingbanana
Plasmas are good for people who want something big but have a budget, while lcd are better for gaming as said by sony but the do cost a bit more due to quality, i see why you prefer plasmas i recently brought a new 2011 plasma but the picture was just a bit clearer on my lcd so i swapped my plasma for another plasma and had the same problem. So anyway i googled it and found out its a common problem.
0ChrisMackle0 1 year ago
i used to agree they were good for gaming until i realised plasmas can produce more colors than lcd, so i went in my settings and turned down the contrast, color saturation, and brightness to a more lcd look and now its great. if im watching a movie or playing a game where... lets say a shines its head lights when im in a dim room i actually need to squint cause of the brightness capabilties of a plasma. not for everyone but i like that. also ps3 has full range rgb and 'super white' settings
joggingbanana 1 year ago
@0ChrisMackle0
yea i agree they produce more colors but the quality isnt as good as an lcd image it may look better in slow paced but in a fast paced game the lcd doesnt leave a blur/ghost effect while every plasma does mianly the blur, so it hurts your eyes a bit to focus while moving on a game like black ops.
0ChrisMackle0 1 year ago
@0ChrisMackle0 you've got that wrong... LCD blurs, plasma doesn't suffer from any of those problems. I'm playing black ops on a 60" LG 60PK550 right now and w/ 600hz SubField driving.. it's FLUID. Not on the LED/LCD upstairs. Do some research. Plasma doesn't suffer from any of the problems LCD does because of the way it produces the picture.

lcd wins due to the burn in of the plasma
iownudie108 1 year ago
really, because of burn in? new models dont even have burn in anymore, they fixed the problem with the retained charge in the green. lcd still suffer from lag (and always will since its liquid crystals that take split second time to twist to expose the backlight) they will also never have as high of true contrast since the backlight is somewhat consistant and plasmas are individual mini bulbs that can dim. lcd blacks can never get blacker plasmas can. why would lcd win with so many problems?

Smoothness of motion is about frames per second, which is affected by the hardware in the machine you are using for playback. Also you forgot to mention that plasma TVs can have an image burned onto them, sometimes permanently if you leave 1 picture on them too long, rather like you're doing now! Do you want to see a bunch of overpaid footballers next time you want to watch Pirates of the Carribean in 1080p? Thought not. Get an LCD or LED.
PkerWhomerang 1 year ago
lcds work with blackish liquid crystals twisting to reveal a backlight, this takes a moment which causes slight lag. plasma uses gas lit with electricity, instant creating a smother motion. LEDs are the same with a led backlight instead. true LEDs are called OLED.i have a 50" lg plasma with all the perks and filters, i use it as my pc monitor (like right now) after about 8 hours of the windows symbol in the bottom right there is never burn in. only old model plasmas have that problem.
