The Display Dilemma: LCD or Plasma?

Buying the right display for your business shouldn’t be an overwhelming process. However, there are two major display types with different advantages for different business purposes. The decision between the two could impact your business tremendously.

Outlined below are the attributes for consideration when and which display type wins on that element. The summary at the end highlights where each display scores the biggest points in this technological battle of <tag-tec>LCD vs. Plasma</tag-tec>. Find the features that are most important for the purposes of your business, then select accordingly.

Viewing Angle – If your display will have people looking on from wide angles to the right and left, or people looking up or down to see it, then plasma is the choice that fits your needs best. LCD tends to lose luminescence and visibility the further you move from a perpendicular angle.

Burn-in – When the same image is displayed on a plasma screen repeatedly or for a prolonged amount of time, it can be burned into the screen, causing a “ghost” of that image to remain forever. LCD displays do not have this problem. So, if you will be putting your company logo in the corner of the screen for entire slide-show presentations, or if there will be a constant display such as tickers or charts where lines will remain in place for hours, opt for an LCD monitor.

Glare – LCD displays are almost entirely glare-free even in the brightest rooms. The difference in visibility is remarkable! With a plasma, you’d have to at least dim the lights and draw the shades for everyone to see the whole picture.

Cost – Plasma displays are mostly less expensive than their LCD counterparts. This is especially true on sizes greater than 100 cm. Smaller screens are almost exclusively LCD and larger screens tend to be plasma, due to the manufacturing processes and economies of each, however, the price gap is closing somewhat.

Energy Efficiency – LCD displays use considerably less energy than plasma displays, sometimes as much as 30 per cent less. This factors into the overall long-term cost. Also, LCD monitors produce less heat as a result, while plasma displays will run internal fans to keep cool, which may be a mild nuisance in sound.

Resolution – Are you going to display images with elaborate detail? Those are generally viewed better on LCD monitors, as they tend to have greater pixel resolution.

Colour & Contrast – Plasma beats LCD on vividness of colour. Even if LCD has greater resolution, less detailed images may appear sharper and bolder on a plasma screen, since they can have up to 20,000 different shades of brightness from deep black to full white. New advances with LCD manufacturing are closing this gap, however.

Longevity – An LCD display will likely last longer than a plasma display. Even without burn-in, the phosphors in plasma displays will gradually lose luminosity and may need replacing after a few years or less depending on usage. Many LCD screens are guaranteed for up to 60,000 hours. Additionally, LCD screens are more durable than their plasma counterparts.

Response time – Response time refers to how quickly the display changes when new video or images transmitted to it. Plasma has the quickest response time, allowing more fluid movement of pictures. LCD can occasionally lose rapid frame rate video and have a very slight but noticeable blur with moving images.

Weight – Finally, if you need a display that is easier to move or mount, the LCD has the advantage. They are less expensive to ship than similar-sized plasma screens and are more portable.

Summary:
LCD vs. Plasma – The LCD display scores high marks on overall versatility and longevity. It is not at all susceptible to burn-in or glare, so it can be used in any environment to display static or fluid images. It lasts longer and uses less energy.

Plasma vs. LCD – The Plasma display wins for impressive picture quality. While it does not have quite as high of resolution, the bright colour contrast and faster frame rate response time give it a more vivid, fluid presentation. It costs less up front and is especially economical with large sizes. Its greatest appeal might be that the image quality is not compromised when viewed at increasing angles, meaning every member of a large audience will see the same sharp picture no matter how high or low or to one side he is.

Overall, there is not one option that is universally better than the other. In many unique circumstances the decision will be clear. In most other cases, it will come down to a simple matter of preference.
