When it comes to choosing between LCD an Plasma TV the outward appearances are definitely deceiving. Both these types of televisions are thin and flat, however they use totally different technology to deliver the same results.  Plasma TV Overview
The display of plasma TV consists of cells. Each cell contains two glass panels which are separated by a narrow gap in which neon-xenon gas is injected and sealed in plasma form during the manufacturing process. When the Plasma set is in use the gas is electrically charged at certain periods then this charged gas strikes red, green and blue phosphors, thus creating a television image. These groups of phosphors are called pixels or picture elements.
LCD TV Overview
On the other hand LCD televisions emply a totally different technology. LCD panels consist of two layers of transparent material, which are polarized, and are "glued" together. One of the layers is coated with a special polymer necessary to hold the individual liquid crystals. LCD crystals do not produce their own light, that's why they require an external light source so that the images could become visible to the viewers. The Difference between Plasma and LCD Television The Benefits of Plasma over LCD are:
1. There are larger screen sizes available. 2. Its contrast ratio is much better and it has the ability to render deeper blacks. 3. Its color accuracy and saturation are much better. 4. Improved motion tracking (little or no motion lag in fast moving images).
