Plasma displays offer higher refresh rates than LCDs, but can you really see a difference? Watch the video to find out if you should worry about finding comparable refresh rates on the two types of HDTVs.
What a load! "Think of it as the number of times the image is flashed" Hey dude, these aren't CRTs, the image is not being flashed. Pixels aren't changed unless there is new data to represent, unlike a CRT where you have a magneto gun that is strobing the phosphors on the front of the screen and keeping them energized. I think response time is a much better way of thinking about this, but I think marketing people like hertz, and so they go with hertz, even though it's not very fitting.
@DarthMuse No need for a TV that fast at this point and time. It's a matter 'natural' blacks and other advantages. Even 480 is overkill
Sony is hands down the most overrated and overpriced brand on the market today. (atleast here in Canada) I also sell tvs
Dear HD Nation:
Please give us a topic about Plasma ABL (Auto Brightness Limiter).
Everyone talks about Plasma cons such as energy consumption, flicker, burn ins but not its deepest darkest secret ABL! (Brightness Fluctuation)
And also Horizontal Line Bleend
There still seems to be NO CONSESUS even if the famous AVS forum if this is inherent in all plasma displays.
Thank you
@bearderific Plasma is way better for gaming, it will be hard to get burn in with the new model as long as you don't leave your TV on with a static image for a long time in the first 100 hours of buying the TV you probably don't gonna get burn in, check HD nation video about burn in, is call: Got A New Plasma TV? Break It In Properly.
i have some LCDs, LED and Plasma in my house and there are differences.
LCD and LED looks almost the same LED got better light but its also more expensive.from LCD/LED to Plasma there is a lot of difference especially if your seeing sports or video games, normally on LCD,LED the image kinda break when things are moving and on video games if you move the camera every line on the game shake also you can see some annoying blur around characters. Plasmas are way better for sports,videogames and 3D.
LCD OWNS PLASMA during the day and for longevity use. Plasma is cool for assholes who may have a basement apartment or sub-level living room setting. LCD will win above ground in broad daylight settings. LCD wins!
Plasma TV is extremely underrated. I've been selling TVs for 7 years now and I still have customers that come in and complain that plasmas "have to be recharged"...morons. IMO, plasmas are better all around TVs than LCD or "LED" (cough, still LCD). Better blacks = better picture period. LCDs tend to have an advantage in most stores simply because most stores are beaming florescent lights right onto the screen. Dim the lights or turn them off and plasma destroys LCD.
How come everyone says there is barely a difference between 1080p and 720p. because when i change my resolution on my 24" lcd monitor (native 1920x1080), to 720 i see a big difference.
BULL-FUCKING SHIT!!! : P
3D content looks WAY BETTER on a 600Hz plasma than any LCD/LED out there...
And don't forget that plasma always has better blacks.
Amen! You guys nailed it and I really love the show! Get my Panny G25 in a few hours. Wish you would have gone into a little bit more detail about how the plasma's get there 600hz number. By my limited knowledge, it is 10 panels layered and each showing a 60 hz image and IMO you get better 24p representation over 120hz+ led's.
Plasma TV's often creates radio interference problems (EMC). Pleas use LED or LCD ! Plasma TV's are altso very power hungry (lot's of watt used). Thank you.....
i have a 50in 720p Samsung Plasma TV in my living room and i have 40 SAMSUNG 1080P LCD TV in my room, the plasma i bought it in 2007 and the lcd in june 2010, and personally the plasma has more color ,more details and looks more clearer than the lcd. And it looks a lot better in sports. and personally i didnt tell the difference between 1080p and 720p.
