Plasma HDTVs
If you want a plasma screen high definition TV, you have to make sure you get what you are paying for. Plasma screen TV's generally run a bit on the pricey side, but the resolution and aspect ratios available look pristine and, well...beautiful. Though still only attainable by customers willing to spend 70k on a TV, the 1080p 103 inch plasma screens are AMAZING. But, obviously those are enormous and incredibly expensive. So, let's move on to other, more affordable TVs.
One of the best plasma screens out there for a reasonable budget is the Pioneer Kuro PDP-5080 HD. It's cost is a bit higher than many people would like to spend, but the picture quality is astounding. This plasma screen boasts the deepest shade of black available today, making the depth of the picture look incredibly real and very detailed. The resolution is 1365 x 768 on this model. The display format is 720p, so you know the picture will be smooth and uninterrupted. This model also comes with more HDMI inputs than you could possibly use.
The next best, more affordable model is the Samsung HP-T5064 plasma screen TV. This plasma screen produces deep blacks for great shadow detail and accurate primary colors for the least distortion. It also comes with a plethora of picture controls so you can fine tune the colors, aspect ratios, and even protect the screen itself. This model also comes with 3 HDMI inputs so you can plug in all your gaming systems. The resolution of this model is 1366 x 768, with a display format in 720p. This is one of the highest rated, affordable plasma screen TVs on the market today.
One of the things you should definitely keep on the lookout for is the reflectiveness of the screen. Some plasma screen TV's are notorious for looking fine in a dark room, but as soon as light is introduced the screen can be difficult to see. Most plasma screen TVs come with an antireflective screen, but just make sure you get exactly what you need. If your TV room is sunny most of the time, make sure to get a plasma screen that has a very good antireflective surface. If you don't pay attention to this issue, you will be very angry when you get it home and can't see what's happening on the TV. |
