Advantages of led to plasma vice versa

[cardiackid]

So by my understanding plasma will give you better colors, other than that what is the big differences between the two? Which has better 3D, less ghosting, less lagging for gaming etc?

Thanks

Now don't everyone answer at once

You could do a search here, theres a few posts about the pros and cons of both.

Its pretty much given that right now its the following order of performance:

DLP (although 1080p wobulation some argue otherwise)
Plasma (decay rate is 600hz so less ghosting)
LCD (LED is LCD just backlit differently, higher models are 240hz so show some ghosting)

Also consider DLP gives the most real estate per dollar, followed by plasma then finally LCD. If 3D interests, bigger is better. The third dimension benefits more from size than any other TV innovations.


Unless you really want passive, plasma or DLP will be the ticket. DLP being my personal favorite.

Given for what and by whom? I've yet to see a professional shoot-out where DLP wins in anything.

For the OP, there are numerous threads already out there comparing the two technologies. Not sure where you heard the colors thing, but that's not a pro/con of any particular technology. As far as 3D goes, plasma has always been ranked superior.

Then why don't you do a search. There's a site called google.com. And it's wonderfully equipped to answer any doubts you may have.

DLP will not ghost where the plasma ,and especially LCD, will. Get off your couch for a change, go to the store and look for yourself. I cannot emphasis enough how good DLP is at the 3D thing. More inch per dollar, no ghosting, and HD for half the cost of plasma or LCD.

Or just ask me ; I own a DLP front pj AND the Panasonic VT25, last years top TV. DLP trumps the panny for 3D every time.


But please, talk more about stuff you don't know. It's a habit of yours on the site.

What the Hell is your problem?

Seriously, your tone is completely uncalled for. I simply asked for objective evidence to back up the claim that it was a "given", as I've yet to read ANYWHERE that DLP is the king of display technologies.

It's laughable how you DLP (and worse when you add 3D) fanboys are always trying to defend your technology, yet you NEVER cite any professional reviews or shootouts. I have no problems with DLP, for what it offers, and I'd take a DLP over most LCDs any day of the week.

But again I ask, show me the evidence (I'm sure you can find SOMETHING on that wonderful site google.com that you referenced above ). Or you can simply hurl insults at people, which will eventually earn you a well-deserved break from around here.

And it's emphasize, not emphasis...

Hey I was trying to just help the guy out.

I don't know what you're talking about but I didn't mention color.

I'm also not a fanboy.

Your accusation of tone followed by a diatribe is funny though.

Anyway, if you've been around a while, I've been into 3d from the start, it is a given that dlp, plasma then LCD is the order in terms of 3d quality.

Even down to basic technology, dlp has little to no ghosting, plasma at 600mhz isn't bad, LCD at 240 the worst.

I have a 73" dlp and a 55" led samsung. I don't see much ghosting on my Samsung but bigger is better for 3d in my eyes so I prefer my dlp.

Lets all get our knickers untwisted. I also wouldn't call the spelling police as you may get beat up by the punctuation squad.

I will never own a dlp again. My first big screen was a dlp. The third time i had to change the bulb i got rid of that damn tv. I know they are better now or thats what they all say but when you have been burned I won't go back. The real estate is way too much than I want to give for a dlp. I like being able to have a nice clean look and run all cables through the wall and a 23" full motion mount. The dlp's I have seen i have not been impressed, granted it was in store and not set up properly. Plasma for now and only Led I would get is the new sharp ELITE.

There's DLP pj as well. That's what we have. Built a aesthetically pleasing shelf for it, and only need 11' to broadcast a 94" screen. Honestly, we were extremely surprised at the picture and 3D quality. We had been using the VT25 before then so we were expecting a sour investment (we bought it on a gamble for lack of demos in the area). But after setting it up, the VT25, despite it's remarkable PQ, hasn't played movie. The size and solidness of the 3D trump the loss in contrast and color.

If I could go back to before the HT binge with everything I've learned, I would have chosen a regular cheap 2D plasma for regular TV viewing and a 3D pj for the HT. I just didn't know enough at the start.

Can't speak for gaming or 3D, since I'm only going on what I heard when I bought my first set--
But my understanding was, since LCD involved turning areas of the picture on while Plasma created color by turning areas of the picture off, LCD's used significantly less energy.
(Don't know if that's true for LED/LCD, but my new LED set seems to be using less electricity than my old LCD, as far as I can guess by the bill.)

The big issue at the time was that Plasma had infamous burn-in problems with watching 4:3 movies in pillarbox. No set's free of the problem, but if you have it, LCD supposedly recovers faster than most.
If I'm spouting '08 rhetoric that's since been "disproved" by fair impartial science, feel free to correct, but that's the story I've been sticking to.

At least as far as panasonic is concerned, I think they've solved the burn-in issues. There's no burn-in on our set despite there being the conditions for it - like the ridiculous logos networks love to permanently fix to the bottom of the screen. I can't speak for other brands but I'd imagine other top manufacturers have also solved the problem.

(Not a review or a shootout... but an actual study.)

Page 7:

DLPs have very good performance characteristics for timesequential
3D display – in essence there is no crosstalk
introduced by the actual DLP display itself. This is due to two
key points: there is no phosphor decay (the DMD mirrors can
switch completely from one state to another in ~2μs) and the
entire image changes from one frame to the next at effectively
the same time (hence crosstalk does not vary with screen
position on DLPs except where the viewing angle through the
LCS glasses might be different for viewing different parts of
the screen). Ordinarily the only crosstalk present with timesequential
3D on DLP is due to the LCS glasses.
