Why plasma?


Today’s plasma displays are uniquely suited for high-definition home theater environment. Through a white paper you can learn more about the longevity and versatility of plasma technology.

Plasma is for those discriminating enough to want the best overall high-definition experience for their primary home theater.

You have probably heard a lot of myths about plasma technology. Here are a few that are either based on outdated plasma technology, or they’re just plain wrong:

  • Plasmas have short lifetimes: FALSE*
  • Plasma black levels are lower than other technologies: FALSE*
  • Plasma viewing angles are no different than other technologies: FALSE*
  • Screen brightness is inferior to other TV technologies: FALSE*
  • Color accuracy is the same as other technologies: FALSE*

    Plasma buyers beware.
    I hope the newer plasmas don’t have this problem now but…

    I have a 22 month old LG 42″. It’s a lemon! 2 months after purchase I had every electronic module replaced due to overheating, fan mulfuntion and not recognising the remote. That was OK – under warranty!

    20 months later suddenly one night a green vertical line appears on my screen. I learn it’s permanent. The screen must be replaced. One of the elecectrodes which charge the plasma gas has malfunctioned!
    I have heard the problem occur to others and hear LG admitted faulty parts in the OLD plasmas. I intend to complain.
    Please be honest and warn plasma buyers that plasmas can lose whole vertical sections rather than LCDs losing pixels. My Plasma is now worth nothin, I can’t sell and to fix will be more than a new plasma TV.
    Not a happy Plasma buyer!
