The
Basic Stuff on Plasma TV
Plasma
TVs are the latest display technology and the best way to achieve flat
panel displays with excellent image quality and large screen sizes viewable
in any environment. Plasma Screen TVs are an array of cells, known as
pixels, which are composed of 3 sub-pixels, corresponding to the colors
red, green and blue. Gas in a plasma state is used to react with phosphors
in each sub-pixel to produce colored light (red, green or blue).
These phosphors are the same types used in conventional cathode ray tube
(CRT) devices such as televisions and standard computer monitors. You
get the rich, dynamic colors you expect. Each subpixel is individually
controlled by advanced electronics to produce over 16 million different
colors. All of this means that you get perfect images that are easily
viewable in a display that is less than 6 inches thick.

TV Applications
Home
Theatre - A
plasma TV is ideal for the home theatre enthusiasts who want the best
possible picture and space saving design. Plasma Displays are rapidly
becoming the central entertainment center for home. The versatility and
capabilities to connect to HDTV, DVD, Computers, and video games are making
plasma tvs the replacement of the "BIG" tv.
Trade Shows and Events - Plasma displays make meeting
rooms PC friendly for visitors and are impressive for presentations and
demos.
Boardrooms and Corporate Lobbies- The high tech look
will be sure to impress customers, while serving the dual purpose of making
your executives more effective during meetings and presentations.
Advertising - Plasma is the ultimate high tech tool to
display your company's products, services, or events in a visually appealing
technology. Unlike light boxes, which require static duratrans, these
flat displays can show presentations or live video, making for a more
informative and effective method of communicating with customers.
Video
Conferencing
- Many companies use projectors with video conferencing. Projectors require
dark rooms to produce vibrant images. Video conferencing cameras require
bright rooms to pick up images. These two technologies contradict each
other. Because of its performance in ambient light, plasma is the ideal
display system for videoconferencing.

10 Benefits of a Plasma TV / Display:
| Size: |
Plasma
displays and Plasma TVs are only a few inches thin-providing installation
options never before possible. In addition to stand mounting, they
can be hung on a wall or from a ceiling, allowing you to enjoy home
theatre impact from a TV that doesn't dominate floor space. Conventional
TVs by comparison take up far more space and are
much more limited in placement flexibility. Current Plasma TV models
start at 3.25" thin, and range in size from 37", 42",
50", and now over 60". |
| Higher
Resolution: |
Plasma
display have higher resolution than conventional TV sets, and are
capable of displaying full HDTV and DTV signals as well as XGA, SVGA
and VGA signals from a computer. |
| No
Scan Lines: |
Conventional
CRTs use an electron beam to scan the picture tube from top to bottom
at regular intervals, lighting the phosphors to create the image.
In the case of standard (NTSC) TV, visible scan lines can be seen.
Most plasma displays include built-in line doubling to further improve
image quality when viewing standard analog video sources such as TV
broadcasts and VCR tapes |
| Perfect
Flat Screen: |
Plasma
display monitors have screens that are perfectly flat, with no curvature
whatsoever. This eliminates the edge distortion that can occur in
conventional TV displays |
| Room
Lighting: |
Plasma
Display performs better than TV's or monitors in bright rooms, so
feel free to position it in a well-lit room. However, for best viewing,
you should avoid placing it so that it faces a large window, or
where sunlight will shine directly onto the screen
|
| Widescreen
Aspect Ratio: |
Plasma
display devices have a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio, the relationship
between the screen's width and height. This is the proper aspect ratio
for HDTV, and also allows many DVD-Video movies to be viewed in widescreen
format, as originally seen in the theatre |
| Viewing
Angles: |
Unlike
Projection TV's plasma tvs have a 160 degrees viewing angle and can
be viewed from virtually any angle, vertically or
horizontally. |
| Color
Accuracy: |
Exceptional
color accuracy- High-end plasma displays are capable of displaying
16.77 million colors -- providing superb color realism with exceptionally
subtle gradations between colors |
| Flexibility: |
A Plasma Display is a television monitor, capable of displaying high
definition TV, regular TV, and home video. AND it's a computer monitor,
capable of doing everything a regular computer monitor can do. |
| Life
Expectancy : |
Average
life of a plasma tv or flat screen television is roughly around 35,000
hours. |
