LCD- The letters stand for liquid crystal display. This modern TV is the lightest one in the market so far. Did you know that a LCD TV can weigh less than 50 pounds? So, if you want something really light to hang on a wall or below a cabinet this is your best choice. A LCD TV doesn’t have much glare at all.

Plasma- If you are a color accuracy maniac like most of us then this would be the best choice. There is nothing so far in the market that can beat the Plasma TV in this. With the Plasma you also have a wonderful contrast and an excellent view angle. This is perfect for a family room allowing everyone to see from any angle. The Plasma is perfect TV if you like to see TV in the dark. Plasmas can be very thin also. In fact, did you know that they can be less than six inches thin? But they are quite bit heavy. They tend to cost less than a LCD. The plasma screen is made up of thousands of pixels containing gas. The gas is converted then into plasma by electrical charge. The plasma now commanded by a video signal glows in red, green and blue. This is the key to such a colorful display and quality brightness and a wide viewing angle.
