Plasma TV
A Plasma TV display is a kind of flat panel display and now this display is being used with conventional televisions and as well as large screens. Anything above 37 inches is found in flat screens these days. There are many tiny cells that are located between two sheets of glass panels and they hold an inert mixture of gases. The cells that hold the glass turns itself into plasma electrically and then excites the phosphorous material that is found in the gas to emit the desired light. Gas is fluid in form and the pictures also adapt to the fluidity of the gases. Many people get confused between the plasma display and the
LCD display when both are quite different when it comes to technology. The Plasma displays are usually measured at a 1000 lux and sometimes higher. That is pretty high for
televisions. They are capable of producing really large size pictures and on wide screen.
The whole display panel in the Plasma TV measures only up to 6 cms in width and the total width of the TV is less than 10 cms. Compare this to the regular width of your conventional TV and then you would understand the real difference. Plasma consumes less power for display and it is electricity efficient device. You are not going to shoot up you power bills by getting something more complicated into your living room and you are actually going to start saving on your power bills. Most of the modern technology appliances are made to save power rather than use more power mainly because of the green house effects. In most TV’s however the power consumption varies along with the picture quality and if the picture is thicker then it is going to consume more power. However this is not the case with the Plasma as it works on the gases for illuminating and doesn’t require power directly.
A 50 inch Plasma TV screen can consume about 500 watts of power on an average and if you set it for lower brightness then it consumes even lesser. However while placing the Plasma in your house there is a lot of strategy to use. If you have invested in the big screen then the distance at which you are seated from the screen also matters. The closer you sit to big screen the lesser you will feel the effects. You should be seated at an optimum distance and for a 50 inch for example the optimum distance is about 10 feet away. The lifetime of a Plasma TV is measured in the number of hours the display can last and on an average it can last up to 60,000 hours. If converted into a more readable time line then it could range between 6 to 7 years depending on usage. That is the average life time for any television and after that if it lasts longer then you are lucky.
