Plasma vs LCD Televisions
Plasma versus LCD ? a fascinating, complex battle indeed! LCD and plasma TVs each have their own characteristics. And the decision about which one you prefer has a lot to do with your personal taste, much like preferring a peanut butter sandwich to a jelly sandwich, or vice versa.
Let us proceed point by point.
Each pixel in a plasma TV is made up of three phosphors ? one red, one blue, and one green.
They emit light when struck by beams of electrons.
The quantity of light emitted depends on the intensity of the electron beam. It is the phosphors themselves that create the light one can see on a plasma screen.
On the other hand, LCD TVs use millions of crystal, which are suspended in a liquid that is sandwiched between transparent panels. A bright florescent light is in place behind this liquid crystal sandwich. The crystals are instructed to either let the light pass or block its passage.

Cheap LCD TVs
As time passes, the prices of LCD TVs are going nowhere but down. A few years back, there were only a few name brands such as Sony, LG, Philips, Samsung, etc. But there are several new entrants in the LCD TV market such as Westinghouse, Maxent, Norcent, Syntax, Olevia, etc. These new companies are pricing TVs lower than the established brands, sometimes even by as much as $1000. Naturally this is creating a furor in the market as even big names are being forced to pull their prices down to keep up with the competition.
The question always asked when buying a LCD TV is, why not go for a cheaper brand if it provides the same quality for a $1000 less? The purpose of a LCD TV is to produce high quality images.
Newer brands (read cheaper brands) force themselves in the market by lowering their prices, but their quality is rarely up to snuff. They may not be able to compare with the images produced by, say, a Sharp or a Sony. There are many nuances in pictures like contrast...

(ContentDesk) March 15, 2006 -- LCD TV and Plasma Television sets have gone from a virtual standstill in the last decade to being to predominant tvs of choice for new buyers. The older CRT television sets had a good run by anyone standards (at least 30 years), but the age of the flat panel has seemed to have dawned and shows no sign of stopping anytime soon.One of the main reasons why LCD TVs in particular have become so popular is that their prices have come down rapidly during just the last 18 months as manufacturers have found ways of making them much more affordable to the average consumer (hint: that's really good news for all of us)."LCD TVs are only going to get better in years to come due to the fact that there is an entire host of new services about to take off. These services will use the high tech features of LCD TV," said Michael Crow recently....
