Choice is Always Good: Plasma vs. LCD Wars (sort) continue on
July 19, 2009 by Derek
It’s not a huge secret that we do like us some Plasma TVs sometimes, but the price ratio has changed a bit as Plasma begins to phase out of existing lines.
The average cost of a 50″ set is $200-300 cheaper for Plasma than LCD, so it isn’t always a bad choice to go with Plasma, even though its considered “older” technology. It duplicates colors and blacks better than most LCD’s do, and contrast comparisons often favor Plasma.
With the pricier TVs, dynamic LED backlighting has made performance gap not as wide as it once was, but LED backlit sets are still not cheap.
Choice is a good thing, as we’ve always said here at SS, and it still is. We actually hope the “battle” continues, as that usually results in more choice, better HDTV prices and more features for everyone, and that’s a good thing for customers.
