Plasma TV Review

Plasma TVs are ultra thin flat screens that are able to produce dark blacks and bright whites, which helps make movies and television shows look amazing. Plasma TVs produce astonishingly deep colors, feature a high refresh rate for fluid motion and have a wide viewing angle. In our research, we found the LG Infinia 50PK950, the Panasonic TC-P50S30 and the LG 50PV450 to be the best plasma TVs available on the market today.

Plasma TVs are also a very popular design for larger televisions. In larger sizes, they are often less expensive than LCDs and have a slightly better picture quality. They support HDTV and have a life span of up to 100,000 hours, which is almost 35 years with an average of over eight hours a day, before you lose picture quality. Because plasma TVs are affordable in large sizes, work best in dimly lit rooms, and produce brilliant color, they are perfect for movies. However, there is some chance of burn-in, so they are not the best type of TV for gamers or sports fans.

Plasma TVs: What to Look For

Shopping for a plasma TV can be a daunting task, and you want to make sure that you get the best features possible. Here are a few things to look for when you are getting ready to buy a plasma television:

Features
There is more to a TV than the size – although that is important as well. In this section, we examine the screen size as well as the dimensions of the panel and base, so that you can determine which television will best fit your entertainment center. We also take into account the power consumption of each plasma television and the life span of the display, as well as parental controls. Additionally, since connectivity is an important feature of any electronic device these days, we looked to see which televisions are Wi-Fi ready.

Display
Plasma televisions are known for their vivid colors and sharp contrasts. We examined each television and compared the resolution, dynamic contrast ratio, brightness and aspect ratio to see which ones give you the brightest and boldest display.

Connections
People today want to connect a variety of devices to their television. Therefore, whether you're using a Blu-ray player, a VCR or a thumb drive, it is important that your plasma screen television has a port for every plug.

Help & Support
When you purchase a big-ticket item like a television, it's important that the manufacturer is available to resolve any problems that you may have. We looked for manufacturers that have user-friendly websites and multiple ways of contacting customer support. We also compared the warranty length of each plasma TV.
