Help Needed - Deciding between LED & Plasma models
- Thread starter nipunkul
- Start date
maybe you wont understand that ...
Is it the case that IR/burns are caused more easily in plasma than in an LED?
Lcds are used in many devices from mobile phones,cameras,tablets,laptops,monitors etc.So ask yourself how many times have you seen IR.
Old Gen Plasma's yes wre more prone to IR and burn in when compared to LCD technology..
Current Gen Plasma sare more resistant and will fall into the similar lines of the LCD or LED.
I have done extensive amount of gaming on my set and at times the Tata sky notifications were on for quite some time before it was deleted, have not noticed any IR or burn in.
You have to really abuse your set to achive some burn in wether its LCD, LED or plasma .. However if you displaying a static picture for a long time you may get temporary IR but i have not come across this when my game screens were paused and left like that for a while say like 20-30 mins after which the screen saver form the source or TV itself can take over.
Pioneer Plasma range which actually made remarkable progress in this area was taken over by Panny maybe thats the reason the Panny range got better towards 2009-2010...
Stuff like pixel shifter n all have been removed from current gen plasmas as they are less prone to IR
My 2 cents , cheers

I guess the LCDs in TVs vs small ones in Cell phones are different in the ways they are made. Any thoughts? I mean LCDs are there on watches as well which display time in matrix format. I think these are not the same as the ones on oiur present day TVs.
I didn't include watches did i.
The lcds in monitors even share the same tech like SPVA,S-ips.
Lcds in cell phones are usually TN based.

If you really want to be see what an awesome picture really looks like, then you ought to view the 3D version blu-ray of Avatar on a Panasonic 'plasma' VT20 series 65" TV. I promise you, not only will you be totally knocked out by the picture quality, but you will never ever again, argue against the quality of a plasma TV.

lolz... try seeing that same movie on samsung ua55c9000sr in 3d and you will forget panasonic plasmas forever even with 10" less...
this debate will take us nowhere... you be happy with what u hv got and let the majority shift to LED's...

my younger bro has seen 3-D clips on Samsung 3-D TV in some Delhi Mall(the most costliest 3-D TV of Samsung) and then he watched 3-D movie Avatar in the Panasonic VT20 series 65" and he was blown away by the picture quality and 3-D effects on Samsung.
I feel sorry for the OP, poor chap he had to go through another session of LCD\Plasma debate 
....
@ OP: Use your own perception check out a movie you like on all the sets your have short listed, then make a decision. 3D for now is a gimmick and playing format through USB is not a selling point. Look out for the picture quality and price to performance ratio.

Yes, trust your eyes only; nothing else; 3d is definitely a gimmick and unrational to use in daily use; usb formats is also no big deal as all purists will play only through hdmi based apparatus...
price is a big question mark... u should know how to get the best price/deal; that is where most of us go wrong, as warranty has been grilled into our psyche ... if proper price is realised then the whole scenario changes in perceiving things...

As a matter of fact, I have seen the TV that you are referring to and I sincerely suggest, that you follow your own advice and "be happy with what you have" and let the 'majority' not fall for marketing gimmicks. It actually might not hurt for people to first learn what a 'good quality' picture is supposed to look like, before pronouncing judgement on particular TVs let alone whole technologies.
PS: I speak with almost 30 yrs of experience in the audio/video field.

None of the LCD's(LED lit or CFL lit) can match the 3D or 2D pic quality of the Panasonic VT25.... period.
3D for me is unbearable in LCD's but it looks alright in plasma.
None of the LCD's have the full 1080 motion resolution that the v20 or vt20 or v25 offers, in fact LCD's are the worst in terms of full HD motion resolution.

How can you be so certain about motion resolution of other LCDs when neither SONY nor SAMSUNG nor LG officially publish the moving lines of resolution. Have you received any test data published anywhere? By bare eyes I do not think it is possible to judge moving lines of resolution in a flat panel tv.
Isn't the IFC full motion thingie broken in V20D?

Many reviewers test the motion resolution and on an average LCD has 300 to 600. Also the basic Motion resolution of LCD's with any pic processing is much lower than plasma.

plasma's were good and market standard; but led's have finally caught up; the picture quality is near same; contrast ratio in the newer led's is matching the traditional stronghold of plasmas; viewing angles is also comparable; fast motion flow is matching in the latest led's; their blacks are now like plasma or nearly there; they are energy efficient; they are green; they are slim; they are now within reach....
lets keep the debate rational...

Thanks for the links. However can you send me some link where we have models tested that are available in Indian market like 50V20D, 50U20D of Pana vs BRAVIA 46EX710 or LG 50PK550 or SAMSUNG UA46C6200? Wthout any official test results on these models I cannot give a verdict on the relative number of moving lines of resolution in these India sets.
Also the thumbnail is informative. However it compares all within PAna and that too on older generation ones till 2009 and this is 2011 where 2010 models are in as well.
