Any specific reason? I bought LG 42" six months back for 45k, it was 100k:1 and HD ready and till now i have no problems with it, my electricity bill too hasnt taken a huge hit. But why is an LCD more costlier than a PLasma, other than power consumption factor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Outsider Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 ^Plasma technology means that there is dulling of the picture after X number of hours - usually 5-6 years of normal use. On the other hand, a new Plasma appears sharper than a new LCD to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holysmoke Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Generally Plasmas have to have their bulb replaced after a few years of use, and that costs a bomb. Thats why most people go with LCD's because they dont require maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyone whose plasma has lasted beyond 5-6 years ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why most people go with LCD's because they dont require maintenance.[/quote'] Bulb replacement is for LCDs as far as I know. Plasmas lose their oomph because the inert gases in them - not sure what they use, Argon/Xenon - naturally diffuse out over the years leading to a duller picture. I think Plasmas just have to be junked as you cannot really replinish these gases - at least not in any practical way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
