FACT: Panasonic markets both Plasma and LCD technology. The two technologies are complimentary. Panasonic recommends Plasma in screen sizes 40 inches and above, as they are ideal for the ambient lighting conditions of your living room. However Panasonic recommends LCD TVs in small screen sizes below 40 inches, as they are ideal for smaller living spaces and brightly lit areas.
2. About Screenburn:MYTH: I heard that burn-in is a problem with Plasma TVs. FACT: Burn-in isn't going to happen from normal use. It will only happen under the highly rare condition that a high contrast image is constantly displayed for a very long time. Even the TV networks' logos are generally now a low contrast image.
3. About Power Consumption and the Environment:MYTH: Plasma TVs consume considerably more power. FACT: LCD TVs use a backlight system that constantly uses power to light the screen independent of the image being displayed. Plasma panels on the other hand only consume power when each individual cell is illuminated; therefore power consumption is variable dependent upon the scene being viewed. As an example, in darker scenes considerably less power is consumed than in bright scenes.
4. About Brightness:MYTH: Aren't LCD TVs brighter and easier to see because of the backlight? FACT: It's true that LCD TVs can look bright in an abnormally lit store. Plasma TVs produce exceptionally vivid images in the ambient lighting conditions of the living room. LCD TVs that use a fluorescent backlight can suffer from light leakage because the backlight is always on. As a result blacks in some instances may appear to look washed out or grey.
5. About Reproducable Colours:MYTH: I read that some LCD manufacturers claim trillions of colours. FACT: Panasonic Full HD VIERA Plasma produces 68.7 billion viewable colours. Some other manufacturers may be quoting back-end processing colours that are not necessarily viewable on screen. When it comes to colour reproduction, Plasma TV is the ultimate choice.
6. About Panasonic Plasma & LCD TV's:MYTH: Panasonic only promotes Plasma technology FACT: Panasonic markets both Plasma and LCD technology. The two technologies are complimentary. Panasonic recommends Plasma in screen sizes 40 inches and above, as they are ideal for the ambient lighting conditions of your living room. However Panasonic recommends LCD TVs in small screen sizes below 40 inches, as they are ideal for smaller living spaces and brightly lit areas.
7. About Gas Leakage:8. Contrast Ratio:- MYTH: I heard that some LCD manufacturers are now quoting similar contrast ratios to Plasma.
- FACT: In many cases, the number being quoted is a dynamic contrast ratio, Panasonic always quotes the native contrast ratio of the panel. When comparing televisions in-store always make sure the contrast ratio being quoted is native, not dynamic.
