3D TV: Plasma or LCD?

While everyone is rushing to talk about 3D TVs. One important subject is often over looked when you buy tv looked and that’s 3D on what? 3D TV plasma or 3D LCD? You think theirs no difference? Well think again...

Plasma television may actually be better. Why? Especially considering how plasma television sales have dropped while LCD HDTV sales have soared? Well Plasma television have two big advantages when it comes to 3D. Those advantages are speed and contrast...

First, contrast. The eye receives high-quality when theirs a big visual difference between black and white. Its called a contrast ratio. Plasma's is almost always bigger than LCD HDTV, why? When a plasma television plasma television is black it's off, when LCD HDTV is black its because the tiny crystals on top of the always on black-light are blocking that light and sometimes a little light gets through. Even if LCD could go all the way to black as like Plasma. It cant do it as fast. Plasma can go to black 60 times faster then LCD. So that means that sports and games in 3D are measurable better.

As far as prices go, as mentioned earlier. Plasma television sales have been dropping recently compared to LCD and LED TVs. Due to demand issues this naturally will bring the price down. For example a basic 42-inch plasma television vs. a basic 42-inch LCD TV is around $500 vs $750(basic 2D) according to Plasma God online. Ironically its a win, win for plasma 3D vs LCD 3D, because its cheaper and has better quality of picture.
