Although both the devices display a big picture in a thin case, there are many notable differences between the two.

The plasma television sets are larger than the LCD 's and measure about 42 inches. The size of the LCD is approximately 37 inches. But a 42-inch LCD TV would cost $1000 more than the plasma television set. The LCD TV's weigh lighter compared to the plasma set. The plasma television sets are bulky and therefore they constantly require installation. They must be well structured in order to prevent overheating due to constant usage by a means of proper ventilation.

The plasma televisions exhibit a contrast background and therefore are well appropriate for watching movies as you experience the enjoyment of a home theatre. LCD TV's are mostly bright screened and appropriate if your room is brightly lit. The plasma TV's do not appear lucid when the room is brightly lit. In the same the LCD TV seem to emit strong rays when the room is darker. You can watch your television from different angles when you are watching the plasma TV. The same convenience is not available in case of LCD as it bears a flat screen. As you move further from the point of television we feel the loss of brightness.

But there are a few thrashing disadvantages when you own a plasma television set. When it is linked to the video, you often tend to leave an image for a long time. These images often get permanently etched on the screen. At the bottom of the screen, the text or the logos of the other networks often waves and it causes a disturbance to the watcher. The estimated life of a plasma TV is around 25000 to 35000 hours.

According to the Alfred Poor's anticipations the LCD television is made up of a highly durable technology and will continue to be an expensive set compared to the other televisions.
