Cheap Plasma TVs
Unfair or not, one of the most familiar matrimonial stereotypes of the communication age is the on-going battle between he who wants wires, and she who does not. It is a curious state of affairs, as women, in general, watch just as much television as men, yet the cliché would indicate that they are not willing to put up with the mess of black cables that having a HDTV, digi box, DVD player and/or games console tend to require in the corner of your lounge.

There’s been plenty of talk about it over the past few months, but it seems as though 3D TV is set to arrive at any moment with Samsung leading the charge. However, there seems to be one problem that is yet to be addressed by the leading brands and that is the matter of 3D glasses. (more…)
Cheap Plasma TVs
A recent study has shown that British consumers are spending an estimated £52 billion every year on gadgets that they have no idea how to use! Are you one of those people? It’s quite possible! Just take a moment to consider all the electronic gadgets and gizmos you own, there’s probably quite a lot. Now, how many of those gadgets do you really know how to use properly? Do you use your Blackberry or trendy iPhone for anything other than making phone calls and text messages? The answer is probably no!
Many people would argue that the reason that we don’t know how to use these gadgets is because of all the needless functionality built into them. Do you really need a camera in your mp3 player? It just confuses consumers, particularly when it comes to the matter of compatibility between gadgets and the different formats of media they utilise, this is when things can get really confusing!
However, think for a moment about your TV. You know how to use that. Even the latest, high spec Samsung LCD TV is simple to use, probably simpler than previous models. Whilst other gadgets become more complex and confusing as technology advances, TVs seem to be getting easier to use! There’s a huge range of affordable, cheap plasma TVs currently on the market that even the most technologically inept can use without any hassle.
So next time you’re thinking about spending a small fortune on the latest mp3 player with built in Wi-Fi compatibility and an integrated 10 megapixel camera that you’re never going to use, perhaps you should instead consider putting that money towards a cheap plasma TV you’ll actually use to its full potential! We’re already spending £52 billion a year on technology we can’t use, why not spend some of that on technology you can?
Anyone buying a new TV today will be faced with making the choice between two different technology types, Plasma or LCD, the respective development of which is now making them more directly competitive at nearly every price point and screen size. The truth is that for the majority of people who are just looking for a nice TV to plonk in the corner of their lounge, either technology would be fit for purpose, with the standard of picture and sound being dictated more by the quality of the model and manufacturer rather than the technology it is based on. However, an informed consumer is an empowered one, and so to that end we will outline the differences below.
Plasma screens are a grid of individual pixel-sized cells, each containing an amount of natural gas and different coloured phosphors (red, green and blue). When a TV signal arrives in to the back of a plasma TV, a charge is sent to each of these cells which causes them to glow and illuminate the appropriate balance of coloured phosphors. Together these individual cells form the larger picture you see on your screen. If you watch a lot of sport or enjoy movies in the dark, you may find the picture quality of a cheap plasma tv beats that of an LCD.
LCD screens are built from a similar series of pixel sized cells but this time they are filled with liquid crystal, which are then lit from behind. The electrical signal each cell receives controls how much the liquid crystal untwists, refracting the white backlight in to the red, green or blue colours you see on the screen. A cheap LCD TV might be better for you if you like video games or have a lot of natural light in the room.
Hope this helps!
