I want to know from hifians why lcd sells more than plasma tv even though plasma's have

1. LARGER SCREEN SIZE FOR A CHEAPER PRICE THAN LCD - minimum screen size of a plasma is 42 inches.

2. BETTER CONTRAST RATIO THAN LCD- plasmas have contrast ratios ranging from 100000:1 to 1000000:1.as compared to lcds,which have dynamic contrasts from 10000:1 to 60000:1 maximum.

3. MOTION FLOW WITH 600HZ SUB FIELD DRIVE- plasmas generally have this latest technology which deals well with the fast moving scenes by creating extra frames and intelligently inserting them between scenes so as to create seamless viewing,whereas basic lcds suffer from motion lag,which is the ghost effect in a fast moving scene,which may result in eye fatigue.

4.DEEPER COLOR SATURATION THAN LCD-colors produced on a plasma screen are very life like.black levels are the deepest and whites are whiter as compared to lcds.

While the disadvantages of plasma's over the lcd are only few like

1.MORE HEAT GENERATION-due to the technology adopted,plasmas tend to produce more heat as compared to lcds.

2.BURNING OF PIXELS-this could possibly be seen in a decade old plasmas,now every plasma comes with anti burn in technology,which doesnt allow a ghost image of a channel logo to remain on the screen.

3.MORE POWER CONSUMPTION-plasma's consume more power than lcd's.

COMPARING THE ADVANTAGES OF PLASMA V/S LCD OVER THE DISADVANTAGES, PLASMA IS ON THE UPPER HAND BUT YET WHEN IT COMES TO THE SALES LCD BEATS THE PLASMA BY A LARGE MARGIN .I WANT TO KNOW THE REASON BEHIND IT.

Well one can buy a lcd tv from 22 inches right upto 65 inches!!Also Lcd tvs dont suffer from image retention,burn in.Lcd are thinner,consume less power.I guess only in America and Europe plasma tvs sell really well!

In India most people prefer to buy a 32 inch lcd tv due to space constraints! Also In India people just look at what their neighbours have and blindly follow the sales man's talk when they go to buy a tv, so plasma looses here due to negative publicity.Also people prefer the bright and saturated colours of a Led/lcd tv, which a plasma cannot give!Plasma tvs also are generally more reflective then their lcd counter parts.the higher range plasma tvs have better refection control but they cost much more !!

I'll tell you THREE reasons why LCD sells more than Plasma:

1.SALESMEN.
2.SALESMEN.
3.People's limited knowledge.
 
Hey chungs

Why not start a thread by asking people who have brought an LCD, Why did they go for it rather then a plasma.

Cheers
Sid.
 
Main reason being negative publicity of plasma as andre19 had told & i think another reason being brand image.Indians go by brand image. LCD'S sold by sony,samsung are very popular, whereas plasma's sold by panasonic are poupular worlwide. whereas it's brand image in india is relatively very low when compared to sony which doesn't manufacture plasma's.

2 Dynamic contrast is as good as PMPO,if you compare the best of lcd vs the best of plasma,the lcd still has the edge when it comes to contrast,which is the ratio of deepest blacks with the brightest white.

3 So does lcd ,it to has frame insertion and backlight scanning.Ghosting in a lcd is thing of past,i for one cannot notice it.If it was a issue all the gamers would have bought a plasma being cheaper.

4 So you are saying the colors produced by lcd are not life like ,yeah right.:rolleyes:
Plasma produces colors by dithering.

Plasma blacks are still a very dark grey,comparing the best of 2011 plasma to the best of 2011 local dimming lcds like the sharp elite which has the blackest blacks out there and as far as whites plasma shows a more significantly dull white if the majority of the screen is showing a white or light colored image,look at top gear polar special and you will know what i am talking about.

People today do research a lot online.Or they still atleat by magazines.

In the end its their eyes that play the final role in their buying.

3.lcd with motion rate greater than 100hz only can compete with plasma in this regard. But such lcd's are very costly when compared to the entry level plasma's which boast upto 600hz sub field drive.

Hi
I have a 32" LG Plasma, with no USB port, and a 40" HD LCD, the Plasma gives a much better picture when watching cable TV but for USB & HD I prefer the LCD. Overall the Plasma is more vibrant.
 
I agree its primarily due to salesmen people buy Lcd... Another reason is people in India believe plasma to be older technology when compared with lcd and led. And people here go with whats latest...

which make and model of lcd you have.

plasma's technology may be older but it is more evolved than lcd technology, and lcd is more evolving.

You mean motion resolution,then i agree .

please don't fall for the hz rating be in lcd or plasma its slowly heading towards a another PMPO.
 
When you compare Sales, We should compare 42" and higher LCD sold vs. Plasma Sold. I don't think there should be much more difference
