Does plasma still offer the best picture quality?

Q. Ok, so LED TV is all the rage these days, LCD is slowly improving, and DLP...well it's still DLP.

From what I've heard, despite the improvements other TV technologies have made, Plasma still offers the best picture quality (even over LED). Is this true? I'm looking to buy an HDTV and would like to hear from all of you...which type of HDTV offers the best picture quality?

A. Yes, Plasma still has the best picture quality!

The only advantage it's closest competitor has(LED TV) is in energy consumption! LED LCD TVs use up to 50% less energy then standard LCD or Plasma TVs! But what's the point of saving money on energy when you have to pay so much more for the TV? It's negating the energy savings!

Otherwise...Plasma TVs still have better "native" contrast ratios. Up to 5,000,000:1 in some 2010 models! They also have the fastest response times(.001ms) and fastest refresh rates(600hz). Making them the best at producing the sharpest and smoothest motion possible. Perfect for fast motion content like sports, movies and gaming!

The reason i used "native" contrast ratio rather then "dynamic" is because dynamic is a useless number! The definition of Dynamic contrast ratio is the measurement of a TVs ability to render it's blackest black and whitest white in a non-specified amount of time or frames. I don't like going by a TV's dynamic contrast ratio because this number is not controlled by any other source other then the manufacturer of the TV. So basically the manufacturer can use any or all means necessary to get this number! There's no way to prove that the TV can actually obtain this number!

Native' contrast ratio on the other hand is considerably more accurate and a better number to go by if you want to get an idea of the TV's picture quality capabilities! Native contrast ratio is the measurement of a TVs ability to render it's blackest black and whitest white on a single frame.

And ONLY plasma's can obtain this high of a native contrast ratio. This is because of each one of their pixels can be turned on or off! Creating a wider field of contrast. LCD TVs cannot accomplish this do to the backlight sources. Even the smallest backlight source(LED) covers an area of tens or hundreds of pixels! Rendering their native contrast ratios much lower.

Go with a Panasonic Plasma TV and you will not be dissappointed! Happy hunting!


how much can i expect to get for a 37 inch hdtv in a pawn shop?
Q. it's a used haier in excellenet condition. has 1080p and built in digital tuner. model# HL37XLE2

A. Hi,

I sold a fair few of these TVs and just for your info that Haier TV shares a lot of components from the Samsung UE37B6000 LED LCD which is from 2008-2009, but that TV you have is a 2010-11 model.

Its probably not worth taking in to a pawn shop as they will often want as higher margin for themselves as humanly possible. You'd be better off by putting in a free ads or ebay to be honest. If you have a Facebook account you can advertise for sale on there to your Facebook friends. It is a well sought after item and will be extremely popular especially for students who want a cheapish decent TV to play their games on!
