Plasma
TV Price Range: £900 to £25,000
The
plasma tv has brought a futuristic slim looking screen to our living rooms
and made cathode ray tube tv's look positively bulky. They come in all
shapes and sizes and are ideal for watching DVD's and widescreen broadcasts.
1. More Expensive than
LCD and CRT TV's
2.
Very large screens combined with slim designs
The average plasma tv screen size is now 42" , but 32'' sets are
becoming increasingly common. Most plasma tv models now integrate with video,
dvd and home cinema equipment.
You
can also release a significant amount of living space within your home
and create a centre-piece for your room (either on a stand or mounted
on a wall) but all this comes at a premium price.
Positives:
Modern
slim looks combined with large screens that deliver excellent picture
results for DVD discs.
Negatives:
Plasma TV screens can display 'picture noise' (that looks like blurred little blocks
on the screen). Screens can also lack picture contrast.
Our
Verdict:
Prices
are coming down and picture quality is improving. If you want a large
screen picture, regularly watch DVD movies and require a superb centre-piece
for your living room then do consider a plasma tv.
