What exactly is the difference

Recommended Posts

between LCD and Plasma TV?

 

I work at Walmart in the electronics department. We get no product training. Last week Plasma TV's came in, and I don't see too much difference between them and LCD. The only thing I noticed, and of course, I can't tell any potential customers this, is that Plasma, when you touch the screen, nothing happens. There's a ripple, for lack of a better word, when you touch an LCD screen.

 

Can anyone fill me in?

 

:cheers:

I'm a bit rusty, but I believe Plasmas put electricity into individual little pockets of gas to make them change color, while LCDs use a lightbulb in the back and a lot of extremely small mirrors to generate the picture. Plasmas look better and can get bigger, but they don't last as long as LCDs
