From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Plasma TVs can producing deeper blacks, wider viewing angles than LCD and less visible motion blur. On the other had, some people will notice that plasma displays have a shimmering or flickering effect, black lines between rows of pixels may be visible on big TVs, plasma TVs are generally heavier than LCD, and image burn-in occurs on plasma panels when the same picture is displayed for long periods. Modern HDTV plasma televisions usually have a resolution of 1,024×768 found on many 42 inch plasma screens, 1,280×768, 1,366×768 found on 50 in, 60 in, and 65 in plasma screens, or 1,920×1,080 found in plasma screen sizes from 42 inch to 103 inch. A panel typically comprises millions of tiny cells in between two panels of glass. When a high voltage is applied across the cell, the gas in the cells form a plasma. Each pixel in a plasma display is made up of three cells comprising the primary colors of visible light. Varying the high voltage of the signals to the cells thus allows different perceived colors. On July 2, 2014, Samsung announced that they will stop producing plasma TVs from November 2014 onwards.[1]
