About Plasma TVs

The plasma television offers many advantages over other television technologies, and this accounts for why they are the fastest selling TV technology on the market. The plasma television is able to display a higher resolution compared to conventional TV sets, and is capable of displaying HDTV signals. Many plasma televisions are now capable of producing 1080i pictures. Most plasma televisions include a built in line doubler; a feature that basically doubles the resolution of conventional TV signals, greatly improving their image quality.

About Plasma Television Technology:

Plasma television technology is different from the technology used in other display systems in that red, green and blue lights are created in every pixel, reducing the need for space. Charged electrodes between glass panels cause tiny pockets of inert gas to change a state of plasma. This process causes UV light to be produced, which in turn reacts with the red, green, and blue phosphors in each pixel to produce visible light.

Unlike traditional displays, where the image is scanned across the screen, in plasma televisions all pixels are "lit" at once. Having no electron beam, back lighting or light polarization, the image is inherently sharper and brighter. Perfect from edge to edge.

Why Plasma Televisions Are Better:

The parts used in plasma televisions do not require a lot of space which make them very adaptable. This allows the consumer to hang them on a wall. In addition to the advantage of slimness, a plasma television is flat rather than slightly curved as a CRT display, (regular television) and therefore free of distortion on the edges of the screen. Unlike many displays, a plasma television offers a very wide viewing angle. Plasma televisions come in conventional PC display sizes and also in sizes up to 63 inches for home theater and high definition television.
