Thread: Pros and Cons of LCD Screens

LCD

The liquid crystal panels started the revolution of flat panel displays and thin. Since its emergence in the nineties, this technology has improved considerably while maintaining its original concept.

This is a pair of glasses between which lies a liquid that generates the images. LCD panels do not produce their own light, it is necessary to place a lamp behind the glass to see clearly.

LCD technology has trouble playing black, that the best ends up looking like a very dark gray, in addition, colors can change if you do not have the screen in front of you.

LCD screens are available in a variety of sizes and display high resolution images in almost all models. This technology operates similar to plasma prices as long as not exceeding 40 inches, otherwise they are too expensive.

Pros:

• Economic in sizes below 40 "
• Increased resolution than Plasmas
• No danger of still images
• Wide range of sizes

Cons:

• Expensive in sizes above 40 "
• The black is seen as dark gray
  
• Less viewing angle than plasma

^^plasma has more watching range??? i dont know this.. in my home we have lcd screens

Increased resolution than Plasmas

Absolutely not true. Let me assure you.

"The black is seen as dark gray"
I am seeing black as black. Can't understand.

Nope. Black is not true black on LCD. You may be seeing it as black but black means pitch dark black which is not achievable on LCD (as yet).

@J4k understood.
By the way.One of your above post is not visible but it is in ispy.How come?

'" I do not agree to the statement "Less resolution per inch than LCDs". Absolutely untrue. I have seen true HD plasmas side by side to true HD LCDs. From a distance of 1 foot! There was... (13 views, 1 replies)"

I don know what technicalities are you guys into. But plasma is usually there on big places like halls stations hubs etc. So that people can see from sides as well. And picture kwaality is also good than the lcd. And plasma is costlier than the LCDs thats what i know. Must be better. I still love the tubes. Kudos to Samsung. I want people to roll cassettes. See on picture tube. Use radio tranDittors. I want people to use everything thats old.

Size per size, plasma is cheaper than LCD.

But plasmas are available from 40" and higher only.

Plasmas are cheaper than LCDs. By that i mean a 52" Plasma will be a lot cheaper than a 52" LCD. Their quality is more or less same. Usually, if your signal/input is good enough, i am sure that you would not be able to tell whichis plasma and which is LCD. ALso, here in dubai, 42" LCDs are much much cheaper than in india, specially Sony, its almost 30% cheaper here than in india.

why did this guy had to make a post on which he does not have knowledge.

Mr itsmemad, you have chosen the right username , your info about lcd screens does prove it.

Zipper boy your comments are extremely GAY.... and its still an offense in India by LAW.

You wont sound as gay as you do if you backed up your comments with some proof.... just saying that the info provided by the thread opener is incorrect does not solve any purpose... if you know any better then post it instead of cursing other members here.

I will chuck your sorry ass out of here if I see you making such unwelcome remarks again on this forum.

Mr Parminder, chuck your sorry ass is not a comment expected from an admin, just google with LCD and plasma difference and you will get all the facts, and these weird facts will not be there on the list,what are you so frustrated about that you use such language? i was just tryn to clear info for newbies in this .

you can chuck your sorry ass out of the window if you cant use proper language to communicate, you duffer . i really dont bother what you do...

@zipperboy
see this link, and then post your comments.
Plasma vs. LCD: Which is right for you? - TVs
Mention specifically what sentence or statement you feel is not correct in
Post No 1. and please give the reasons
Example @Just4Kix post/s
The point/s he has mentioned covered in above article.

I guess zipperboy is just a rat from one of the rival forums.. He has not mentioned a single thing related to the topic..

@ J4X

The article provided by essbebe states that native resolution of LCD is likely to be higher than plasma of same size. Also, the source from where I got the information mentioned same thing...

from my exp LCD are

-cool for eyes , i cant stand 1 hours before CRT without eye fatigue
-good for watching movie , as u have to look on screen continuosly for about 2.5 hr
-high resolution available , at CRT everypage had to adjusted (thanks opera adjust page ) now with LCD the webpages are short before screen
-LCD are light and require less space, my CRT was a heay thing which accquired whole of table thanks LCD

cons
-soe movies dont looks good espicially the pirated ones
-viewing angle has to adjusted ,

I think the thread was about LCD vs Plasma TVs.

The thread is about LCD Display... Although I've compared it primarily with Plasma in the first post but members are free to compare LCDs with whatever screens they want...

can i compare it with LED

Sure, please go ahead..

After the language you used I was very tempted to use my special selection of words but then as you said about me being admin and all... I kept myself right at the border.

I am frustrated at the fact that you do not know how to behave in public and then at being told off you lash out at me instead of apologizing to the gentleman you were personally targeting at.

And you did not try to clear any info to newbies, the only thing you did was dissing the thread opener.

^^i dont know from where he came from...

well this is the thread title:

Pros and Cons of LCD Screens

@itsmemad,

Plasma's are generally not available in sizes below 40". The manufacturing cost will not make the proposition attractive. On the otherhand, LCDs displays/TV are available down right to 15".

So when you look at that from that angle, it will appear that LCDs can have higher resolution at small size.

But once when we start comparing plasma and LCD we should compare size per size. In this respect, plasmas have the same resolution.

And I will re-iterate the statement that for watching movies, plasma is a better option because of the superior black levels. TV is different matter. TV has three main category of programs - news/views, soap operas/drama and documentaries. Over 90% content in shot in bright light. Hence for TV, LCD will be a better proposition.

The most important aspect that everybody forgets about comparing plasma with Lcd is that the "refresh rate" LCD gives maximum 200Hz(high end models) rates whereas plasma gives 500-600Hz!! refresh rate(even on basic models) so in Plasma u get pure and natural motion as u get in CRT, cheap lcd tv have very poor refresh rates.

@Rcom
Please give links for 200 Hz &500 Hz refresh Rate or the model number of a Plasma TV and LCD TV.

....120 Hz is one of the hot new features. It refers to the refresh rate, or the speed at which a display is redrawn every second, measured in Hertz. Refresh rate has become an issue for LCD TVs, which by nature lag behind plasma and DLP in their ability to reproduce fast motion without blurring.....

. “If you have 120 frames, nothing is held for more than 1/120th of a second. In that amount of time, your brain doesn’t register the blur.” Of course, even with a 120-Hz refresh rate, you’re not watching linear motion at all. It’s all illusion, whether you’re viewing video or film. “You have pixels coming at 1/60 or 1/120 of a second,”
