Plasma TV vs. LCD TV

Not all Plasma tv's and lcd tv's are created equal. With all the new technology in televisions, it can sometimes become confusing, especially when LCD TVs and Plasma TVs look fairly similar.  Despite their similar looks, there is a difference in the technology employed in plasma tv vs. LCD tv s and one is more preferable to another depending on viewing conditions.  For home theaters, a Plasma TV is a much better choice as they handle black background better and make the picture seem more like a movie theater experience.  LCD TVs are better in well lit rooms because they give off more light.

Regardless of the differences between LCD vs. Plasma TVs, both provide great pictures and can be easily incorporated into your home theater by the experts at Future Home Technologies.  We can sell you the same brand High Definition TVs (HDTVs) you find at the big retailers.  The big difference is that we can do it for less!  We can also help you choose the right LCD TV or Plasma TV for your family room, home theater or media room.  So when it comes to Plasma vs. LCD TVs, let Future Home Technologies help you make the best choice for your budget and your lifestyle.

When comparing LCD TV vs. Plasma TVs, what’s better for my home theater?

At Future Home Technologies, we like Panasonic and Pioneer when it comes to Plasma TVs.  Pioneer is still one of the best televisions out there, but for the money, no one touches the Panasonic.  For LCD TVs, Sony and Samsung are both great choices.  Sharp is also excellent. The new LCD TVs are 120 hertz so they refresh quickly.  What this means is there is little or no “ghosting” when watching a fast moving movie or sporting event.

When making a comparison of LCD vs. Plasma TVs, the LCD TVs will win over the long run because they are cheaper to make and use a lot less electricity to operate.  In the past, the features that hurt LCD TVs were “ghosting,” color distortion when viewed from an angle and the maximum size of the screen.  LCD manufacturers have dealt will all these issues so now their performance is very close to that of a Plasma TV.

Why not just buy a Plasma or an LCD TV over the internet
instead of with a local company like Future Home Technologies?

There are good reasons why you should not buy a LCD or Plasma TV over the Internet. It mostly comes down to risk. In many cases:

1. The TV is yours once it leaves the seller. If it doesn’t work on arrival, it’s up to you to fight it out with the shipper and manufacturer.
2. Many of these TVs do not come with a manufacturer’s warranty
3. Some of these TVs are either refurbished, played for months at a dealer’s showroom, or not the model TV you wanted.

Is it really worth the risk when you can work with a local company like Future Home Technologies?  Our installation technicians are professional, clean and will treat your house like their own.  And because we are local to Mendham, Chester, Short Hills, Warren and Far Hills, and the surrounding areas, we can quickly and easily resolve any problems you may have with your home theater products.
