These days, but the price is calmed down, thanks to better production methods and the magic demand. In fact, a good amount of brand-name plasma TV costs at least $ 2500. It is still the price of about three regular television with a few video CDs thrown in. Compared to its closest rival, LCD TV, plasma TV, one of its drawbacks, still cost more. But with the price comes quality. Nowhere else can we find the kind of high-definition viewing pleasure that plasma TV can offer. If the price is a disadvantage, they more than compensate for it with their quality. Besides, for a true videophile, plasma television has a short return on investment and they will more than compensate for their price in a few years. If you think about that it is not really a disadvantage to have a plasma TV now, is it? Plasma TV had a notorious reputation for conking out after a specific set of viewing hours.

This is a good thing, because compared to LCD and the older CRT television, a plasma TV only need to light up when they are necessary. LCD panels are like a big pear, which is always turned on. With regular TV use, it is really not a problem. The drawback appears when you display a static image on the screen. What is a static image? If you are an HBO fan and you have your plasma TV on at HBO for hours on end, very soon you will notice a slight HBO logo on the screen, even if you are switched on to ESPN or another channel. It is also a problem if you are a heavy video game use. If you connect your video game console to your plasma TV and play all day for day after day, hour to play, will burn in the picture, says life meter on your plasma screen. It will be a little embarrassing especially if you have friends over and they will see a dim picture of your otherworldly persecutions right before their eyes.
