you need about Plasma Set Television
Long before
plasma set televisions made their
appearance, people bought TVs for their
size. The bulkier, the better and whoever
got the biggest, meanest television screen
won the game of one-upmanship with his
neighbors.
And then picture
quality came along. The game quickly
shifted into whose TV made the grass look
greener and Halle Berry better looking
than she already is. These days, the gold
medal probably belongs to plasma
television sets.
Why plasma
television set looks so good
If you have your
old CRT (cathode ray tube) TV, you've
probably been amazed at the technology
that made pictures come alive through the
screen. CRTs also use pixels or dots that
when grouped together, form a bigger
image. CRTs basically use a vacuum tube
that fires electrons against phosphors.
Three phosphors make up one pixel, which
is made of red, blue and green
colors.
The CRT
technology has a measure of control on
which phosphor group to hit and depending
on the strength and length of the hit, the
picture tube shows us an image with color
and light contrast.
Now CRTs perform
well and are in fact still popular in many
parts of the world. The only drawback is
that they are heavier, fragile and eat up
a lot of living room space. You've
probably noticed the same issues with your
older computer monitors.
With a plasma
television set, the technology is
different. Gas inside a fluorescent light
is excited to a degree and transforms into
a plasma state. Pixels are still made with
the same three basic colors, but since
plasma can be aimed more precisely, more
pixels can be hit to form an image. The
result? A clearer, prettier picture on the
television screen.
Not only is high
resolution a feature that plasma
television sets boast of, there are also
the colors ñ all 16 million and
more of them. Imagine watching the TV and
knowing there are millions of different
colors dancing right in front of your eyes
even if you can only name a few. There's
dragon red, leaf green, ocean blue or
maybe canary yellow and egg white, but
that's just a drop in the bucket of all
the color possibilities that plasma
television sets can offer.
The view
from the other side
Another reason
why plasma television sets win a lot of
admirers is that it gives the concept of
'sitting in front of the television' a
whole new meaning. Remember when kids used
to fight for the 'best seats' right smack
in the middle for TV viewing? This is no
longer true with plasma TV.
With rear
projection TVs, the viewing angle is about
45 degrees to the sides. A plasma
television set can give you perfect images
even at 160 degrees! You can walk from one
side of the room to the other and you will
still have the same picture quality, so
don't worry too much about Aunt or Grandma
sitting to the sides of the plasma
television set. They are enjoying
themselves just fine.
The flatness is
also there for a reason other than giving
the excellent viewing angles; it also
reduces glare. With a plasma television
set, you don't even have to dim the lights
for better viewing. It works just as well
even with ambient light turned to the
max.

Issues
and myths
No, you
cannot refill your plasma
television set's plasma content
or that it's too radiation-heavy.
Those are urban legends that are
too silly to be even given a
second look. Plasma television
sets are a product of the latest
technology and as such, still
have a few issues here and
there.
One of
the most common is the burn-in
issue, where a plasma television
set develops a burned-in image
when it's tuned in for too long
to a static picture. There is
also the half-life expectancy
where plasma televisions are
expected to burn a little dimmer
after a few thousand
hours.

These
issues are quite true, but the
real threat to the life and
quality of a plasma television
set is really a matter of wise
and careful use. If you keep it
on hours and hours on one channel
with a static image, then a
burn-in issue might emerge, but
this will only happen after hours
of day-in and day-out use. The
half-life has also improved from
the 30,000 hours (allowing you 9
years of plasma TV use for 8
hours of viewing a day) to 60,000
hours.
