Replacing a regular CRT television with a plasma TV opens up your room design options tremendously. You can place a plasm TV almost anyplace. Their sleek design makes hanging them on a wall child's play and because they're so thin, they hardly take up any space in whatever room you position them.
In the early days of plasma televisions, there was a large price disparity between the big screen version and the smaller cousins. But today, the difference has dissipated so much that the price difference is almost negligible. In fact, today, the smallest plasm television you can buy is a 32 inch diagonal.
Anybody considering buying a lcd plasma television today should choose one of the larger screens, assuming that is , that they have the available room space in their house. The largest plasma TV built to date is the Panasonic 150 inch diagonal of which, at last count, only 5 existed in the world. No doubt there will be even larger plasm television screens in the future. The limiting factor today is not the plasma TV technology. Rather it's the difficulty of manufacturing a glass screen larger than 150 inches that's not prone to cracking.
If you purchase a plama television, the first thing your should be ready for is an increase in your electric bill. According to the Environmental Protective Agency (EPA), a plasma TV will use up 5 times more energy than the equivalent LCD screen. Almost everyone when they go shopping for a plasma television will opt to buy one with at least a 36 inch diameter. And Although this is at the smaller end of plasma televisions, the electricity usage from a TV this size can equal that of a medium sized refrigerator. Right now, the typical consumer has no way to judge the energy efficiency of any particular model. Eventually, however, you'll begin to see the Energy Star tags appearing on plasma TV models so you can at least compare one model to the other in terms of energy use.
Looking at things with a room decorator's eye, there is a huge advantage to having a plasma TV in a room instead of one of the clunkier models. You can re-arrange the room with ease and give it completely different looks. The old bulky CRT televisions, especially those with large screens, manage to take up a tremendous amount of living space, limiting your options on how your furniture could be arranged.
A regular TV typically necessitates that you have a piece of furniture on which to set the TV. But the newer style plasma televisions can be placed practically anywhere. Plasma TVs can be hung on the wall, set down on a piece of furniture, suspended from a ceiling, placed in a hidden wall, and so forth. It can be treated a furniture or as art. The TV has gone from being one of the least versatile pieces, to being one of the most versatile.
The technology for Plasma TVs has existed for 40 plus years. From simple points of lights used to perform easy laboratory experiments, the technology has advanced to the point where it is used to power millions of television sets across the globe. Likewise, the caliber of the images displayed has increased more than a thousandfold since those early prototypes.
