b) You cannot control the intensity of the glow, the pixel is either on or off. In plasma - technically - the voltage can be controlled for better intensity. BTW, the intensity is not a major issue in dimly lite rooms and if watching distance is 15' or more.
Plasma also has its own issues. But with Laser projection devices (touted as Plasma/ LCD killer) on the horizon, I would rather wait for 6-9 months for the Laser TV to come out. And even if it cannot kill them both, the LCD/ Plasma prices are going to come down sharply. I certainly wont mind a Bravia 40" for 75k. As for the dead pixels, I will take that chance. |
well said, determinus. at last there is someone who looks beyond the excellent LCDs & plasmas. When the Laser TV does come out, the indian market will be flooded with the better LCDs & Plasmas & that is the time to buy LCDs & plasma Tvs in india.
