A recent argument that erupted on the forum I run got me a little bemused...this guy works in an AV shop in America, is he talking bull?
Plasma?
Did you know that if you stand in front of a plasma screen you feel lots of heat coming off of it.
Did you know that plasma TV's let off a radation that makes yours eyes glues to the set? No one knows the long term effects of this, as NO manfucature has ever tested it nore do they plan to or care to.
Next time your in the store, push 42" LCD next to the 42" plamsa. If you watch a movie, have way threw you will find your self attracted to the plasma. Even thoe the LCD has a better picture, and colors that are WAY more correct, you will just want to view the plasma. It was one of the selling points about 3years ago when I first got in the busniess. I know its true because when I show the sets I will tell the customer about it, but there glues to the plasma.
Did you know, there is NO way what so ever to fix a plasma screen?
Did you know, If you know plasma comes with burn out pixle's your screwed? most company will not RMA it unless it have 5 or more bad pixles.
Did you know, adverage life of a plasma is about 10,000 hours, to increase this number to 100,000 what they are claming now(it is not ture)they do what is called pixle rotation, where if your not a min of 5foot from the screen, you can see the pixles crawling around on the screen, they rotate them to cause even burn, and slow it down. But crawling pixles looks like **** to EVERYONE!
Did you know, Only about 3 companys still make plasma, everone else just buys from them and use there one turners, frames, connections, ect..
Did you know, Plasma reached its limit of what it could and could not do, the same day is was released.
Did you know, Plasma was released was tempory answer for Airports, bus stations, cruse ships, and other comerical locations, that would swap out these sets ever 2-3 years anyway.
Did you know, There is more then one type of plasma screen, you need to ask if it is gas filled or not, gas filled plasma SUCK, espelly no white, or any other colors that might be brights, because gas filled will flicker.
Plasma makes you cool because it is a flat screen on the wall, anyone will a flat screen on there wall does look nice to the consumer that does not know any better, but for the most part a flat pannel regardless of resoultion, HD or not, Plasma of LCD, does not matter and flat screen of any kind puts you in the baller class.
I dont know if plasma is really saveing you any power at all. Your still thinking LCD, it runs at lower power, and low heat. When LCD gets more popular the cable company is talking about delevering you low voltage power to run your LCD sets, so when Power Company fails, you still have low voltage from the cable and phone company to keep your TV, and phones running. I know this is something that has been talked about for longer then I know, and will happen one day, it is just getting everyone to decied which route they want to go.
Can anyone make any sense of this guy? Bare in mind he is American
