I have heard quite a few sources say that. I was very surprised to hear that considering the cost of a plasma. I was also shocked to hear of the picture degredation after the first year or so. It made me wonder why anyone would spend that kind of money on one.berkeman said:Wow, I just came across this thread in a dirtbike forum that I frequent:

I had no idea that plasma TVs could have burn-in problems. Sounds best to avoid them and stick with LCD or projection.
There are manny differences, but now, the best in domain is the LED TV.sniffer said:i am curious to know, what is the difference (if there is) between plasma TV technology and LCD?
my friend asked me this, and i said they are probably the same. are they?
Topher925 said:My Samsung laptop has a LED screen which uses the same tech as LED TVs and it looks fantastic. Colors are much more vibrant and vivid, and the screen is crazy bright (I usually keep it at 50% brightness). The extra battery life is a big plus too.
I've heard there have been some issues with their LED TVs though. While the picture is suppose to be fantastic I guess there are some problems with the viewing angles.

After I managed to blink, I had a walk around it and again was truly amazed. The size! Although I know LED TVs are Ultra Thin, again, I don’t believe you can really appreciate how big a difference there is until you see one in.cepheid said:Which part? The fact that they look fantastic and bright and sharp, or the fact that they have poor viewing angles?
The main difference between plasma and LCD TVs is the technology used to display the image. Plasma TVs use tiny gas cells that are charged to create light, while LCD TVs use liquid crystals that are backlit by a fluorescent light source.
It is subjective and depends on personal preference, but generally plasma TVs are known for having better picture quality due to their deeper blacks and better color accuracy. However, LCD TVs have made significant improvements in recent years and can now produce high quality images as well.
Yes, there is a difference in energy efficiency between the two types of TVs. LCD TVs are generally more energy efficient, using less power and producing less heat than plasma TVs. This is because LCD TVs do not require as much electricity to light up the pixels as plasma TVs do.
LCD TVs tend to be more affordable than plasma TVs. This is because the production costs for LCD TVs are lower and they are more widely available, leading to more competition and lower prices. However, prices for both types of TVs have decreased in recent years.
Typically, plasma TVs have a longer lifespan than LCD TVs. Plasma TVs can last up to 100,000 hours, while LCD TVs have an average lifespan of around 60,000 hours. However, with advancements in technology, both types of TVs can last for many years with proper care and usage.
