Plasma TV buying guide – Know the details


Following are some of the most important considerations for selecting a plasma television.

·         Screen size is the most basic consideration for buying a plasma TV. One needs to ensure that the viewing distance is at least 2-3 times the size of the screen.
·         The best plasma TV would have a contrast ratio of 10000:1, a panel life of approximately 60,000 hours (although more would certainly be better) and a progressive scan resolution of 1920X1080 pixels.
·         If a plasma TV is labelled as 'HDTV compatible' or 'HDTV ready', that does not mean it's having an in-built HDTV tuner.
·         If a plasma TV is labelled as a monitor, it would not have speakers, which means that the buyer would have to make arrangements for external sound.
·         Talking of sound, it is a point to be noted that sometimes, it's much better to go for external sound options in case the buyer wants to include the television in a home theatre style of setup. However, if the screen is to be used on a standalone basis, in-built speakers would do just fine.
·         Last but not the least, flat wall mount plasma TVs are much more economical compared to other kinds. These are directly attached to the wall. Other options include a tilt wall mount, where the TV is placed high on a wall and can be angled according to the viewer's choice, and a table stand, which is the traditional style of keeping a television.

Samsung Plasma TVs: Redefining Television

If there was ever an innovation that redefined the television viewing experience, Plasma would take the crown as being the defining achievement in technology. Coming straight to the point, Samsung Plasma TVs are nothing short of a marvel of science. To start with, as soon as one switches on the television, the unbelievable response time of 0.0001 ms for regeneration of pixels for more vibrant and rich picture quality makes sure that not even a blink of the eye worth of display is missed. Further, there is less strain on the eyes, no blur or ghosting. Just pure unadulterated pictures that come to life with every frame.

And talking about picture quality and blurred images that often come up in other kinds of televisions, Samsung Plasma TVs ensure that their Clear Image Panel uses a film filter in place of glass in order to remove layered images and display sharp and rich pictures that look great from every angle without blurs. Further, they also rule out the chances of continuity jerks with 10 full subfields in every frame, i.e., a 600Hz subfield motion. In simple words, viewers are in for an experience of a lifetime with every single frame of picture viewing on a Samsung Plasma TV.
