In Reply to: LCD vs. Plasma posted by townsend on March 9, 2005 at 10:55:31:
The article does a good job of comparing plasma technology to LCD. I opted for plasma for now and may go to LCD in a few years. The article states that manufacturing LCD screens is less costly than plasma but in the real world, retail prices on large plasma screens are less expensive than comparably sized LCD's.One thing that the article didn't mention was that plasma screens are sensitive to altitude and although this may not concern most people, it is a major issue if you live at altitudes of 5000-feet or more. I live near Denver which starts at 5000-feet and goes up from there. Most plasma screens are manufactured for consumers who live at or near sea level. At higher altitudes, these plasma screens will buzz loudly. A few manufacturers understand this problem and make a line of plasma sets specifically optimized for high altitudes. For example, my plasma has the letter "H" designation at the end of the model number which means it was designed for high altitude use.
