A plasma television is a flat screen television in
which light is created by excited phosphors between two panes of glass.
In the television, three colors, red green and blue, are used in
different distributions to form different colors. By combining these
colors in different proportions, the television can form an image using
the fluorescent lights. These lights are made from plasma, a gas of
electrically charged electrons, known as ions. These ions release
photons of energy which are visible to the eye as color. The color that
is visible is dependant on the size of the wavelength of the photon.
Plasma televisions have bright and vivid color on noticeably larger
screens. They also have a very high contrast, allowing them to be a
desirable media in which to watch movies.
What are the benefits of a plasma
television?
There are many benefits of having a plasma screen television. Its size
and quality of picture, alone, are great benefits. They also have a very
slim design and are larger than most LCD screens. These televisions have
the ability to display a very wide picture using very little material.
The image quality is bright and vivid, the perfect display to watch both
movies and sports events.
What are the cons of a plasma television?
The biggest drawback of plasma television is its price. Plasma
televisions are much more expensive than normal televisions and LCD
screens, and can be quite costly. They are also very fragile and able to
break easily. In addition to this, plasma screens have a lifetime of
about 50,000 hours. Yet, after 2,000 hours, the quality of picture on
the television will start to decrease. Although there are many drawbacks
of owning a plasma television, if the cost is not too heavy, the quality
of picture is worth it.
