Actually the senseless LED vs. Plasma debates should stop. Let this be the sovereign kingdom of the experts.
Some people here think that I am an LED/LCD basher. I respectfully disagree and I am not. In fact, there are numerous examples here where I have recommended LED to people. Also, I am gifting my in-laws an LCD or LED this Diwali. Why? Because LCD or LED is perfect for them. The situation is always dependent on several factors:
- what are you going to watch (soaps, comedy programs, sports, movies, etc.)
- what will be the source (DTH, Cable, DVD, BD, etc.)
- what will be the resolution (SD, HD-1080i, 1080p)
- where are you going to watch (bright lit or ambient light controllable room)
I never said LED is not good. In fact, LED TVs are quite good to excellent. What I said that plasma is still a notch better.
Is plasma a dying technology? Definitely, yes. Perhaps in four to five years, or earlier, plasma panels will be manufactured for very large sizes and professional displays only, entirely exiting from the consumer retail section. This is expected to happen when OLED hits the consumer market at a price point that exists in today's LED and plasma segments. When this happens, all advantages that plasma enjoys over LED will be over. Plasma may have a trickle market share as those of CRT of today. And LCD/LED market share will be what plasma market share is of today.
Does that mean that plasma TVs are bad? Definitely, not. As of today, only the absolute top-end LED backlit LCD's with local dimming have come very close to attain the black levels displayed by plasma. This is because one LED lights up or blackens out many LCD pixels. The FHD LCD panel has 2,073,600 pixels. To achieve black levels of plasma, the panel must be backlit (not edgelit) by 2,073,600 LEDs. This is simply not possible because of the cost.
Only a very critical eye may be able to detect the difference. But that is just one factor. LCD panels (whether CCFL or LED) have yet to completely overcome the native contrast, light bleeding, response time, unnatural colours, and many other shortcomings.
Yet, these may not matter to many - perhaps 99%. On the other hand plasma TVs are heavier, bulkier, more power hungry, more prone to IR, and such other factors.
But from plasma bashers, I have heard only one argument - the technology is dead, no more innovations or additions or enhancements. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Look at the all plasma models released every year. They have been improving every year. Panasonic VT20 was the flagship two years ago. Today the ST50 is matching it and even exceeding it in specs.
The debate of "what is better" is like, top loading washing m/c vs. front loading washing m/c. In absolute terms, front loading is better because it washes better. Same is true for plasma. But "what is best" is relative.

ok after side by side compare if someone likes lcd picture style over plasma..it is completly personal view..after all a person shoud chose the color/picture style which looks pleasing to him/her..thats cool.
my point is plasmas picture is more realistic and more close to theatre standard(it is the only movie standard right??) than lcd/lcd-led...specially skin tone..natural view bla bla bla
