Aldi are selling an LCD TV next week and they have given the reason for choosing LCD over Plasma as this...
LCD TVs have a typical lifespan of over 50,000 hours (25 years of typical use), Plasma is only approximately 25,000 hours. Plasma TVs are very fragile and can easily be damaged during installation. LCD TVs are lighter, user friendly and more robust and therefore much less likely to get damaged. Plasma TVs can suffer from ‘burn-in’ after prolonged use that can result in permanent ‘ghost’ images being visible on the screen – LCD TVs do not suffer from this problem. LCD TVs use less electricity than Plasma TVs.
What does anyone think?
I prefer Plasma as the best ones have 8000:1 Contrast ratio this LCD has 600:1. I think by the end of next years most TVs sold will be one or the other.
