add a
new dimension to watching television. The huge
screens with the life-sized characters make the viewer feel like he is
in the room with the characters. The viewer feels as if he is a part of
the action. The plasma TV screen may be several feet wide and high and
only a few inches thick so they can fit into most rooms. If you are
used to the smaller conventional style televisions, when you first see
a plasma TV with its big screen, it takes the viewer a few minutes to
adjust to it because the viewer is not used to the size. But the viewer
will quickly adjust to the size of the television.
The traditional television is based on cathode ray technology where a
beam of electrons is shot through a tube in phosphorus atoms. The atoms
light up and produce the image you see on the screen. After the cathode
ray technology came the LCD
technology. |
LCD technology
is based on liquid crystal pixels consisting of red, green and blue
held in between two layers of glass. An electrical charge makes them
light up and produces the image on the television screen. This is
similar to the functioning of a computer monitor screen.

The plasma technology is
a relatively new concept in televisions.
Plasma technology consists of xenon and neon gas filled cells. When
electrical current passes through these cells, they light up in the
different colors and produce an image on the screen. The intensity of
the electrical pulses results in different shades of each color pixel.
The screen can range from forty two inches to sixty five inches. The
screens are flexible to the touch since they are so big.
Unlike other television technology the plasma screen can be subject to
burn-in. This is a situation where if an image is on the screen for a
certain period of time, the image will burn-in and will have shadow
remain on the screen. If you use your television for video games, this
is something to take into consideration because burn in can result from
video games. Even so, the plasma screen is terrific for the graphics of
video games.
Plasma TVs are not cheap. They start at approximately four thousand
dollars. Depending on the style and features you want, the price can be
higher. Once you decide on the style and model you want, shop around to
find the best price.
