The prevalence and importance of television at Christmas cannot be
overstated, which is why many families will be looking to splash out on a new
one to use over the festive season. Before they can do so, however, there are a
lot of choices to be made, not least the one between a plasma television and an
LED television. Both are widely praised and are popular in thousands of homes,
but what are the advantages of each, and which would be most suitable for
certain purposes? This guide outlines the basic differences between the two,
and examines why some people have a preference.
One of the main things to remember about these two technologies is that
they both offer similar things: crystal-clear colour images and super-thin
designs. But the key differences are important, the first being that plasma
screens can be much larger than LED televisions right now. Plasma screen TVs
can range from 32 inches all the way up to a cinema-esque 65 inches, whereas LEDs
have been playing catch-up in recent years. This is a very important
consideration for people looking to house their television in a pop-up TV cabinet, as they can only
be manufactured to fit certain sizes of television screen.
The viewing angle of the screens is also a fairly important aspect to
consider. Plasma televisions had the slight advantage in this department, with
a viewing angle of 165 degrees compared to the LED screen’s 160. The LED
screens have managed to catch up now and the difference between the two is
minimal on this front. Those who wish to store and display their television in
a motorized TV stand
can always add optional 360 degree rotation capabilities if they are at all
worried about viewing angles in the home.
A television’s weight can affect what kind of mount or stand it
requires, and plasma screen televisions are much heavier than LEDs. When a
plasma screen is mounted on a wall, they often require additional support to
take the extra weight, whereas LEDs are considerably lighter and easier to
mount. A pop up TV stand
can hold both a plasma screen and an LED television easily, without extra
support or mounting equipment, and the secure storage area within the cabinet
keeps the televisions safe when they are not in use, rather than being fully
exposed with a mount on a wall.
The overall costs of both technologies varies with different sizes and
the different capabilities of each TV set, but in general, plasma TVs are still
cheaper for any sizes over 32 inches. Production costs are higher in LED
televisions because once they hit a certain size, faulty transistors can cause
pixel defects as a result of the substrate material. The LED televisions larger
than 32 inches often cost a lot more to produce and are therefore more
expensive. Purchasing a more cost-effective television mean freeing up more
funds for a show-stopping TV lift cabinet, but Christmas also is a time for
treats and extravagances, so even if purchasing a more expensive television,
it’s important to ensure it has a luxury home.
