Now you can! Some plasma displays can be used with PCs, but until now, you couldn't use your PC and watch TV on the same screen simultaneously.

Flat-panel TVs are extremely popular due both to their elegantly thin designs and sharp, vivid picture quality. Flat-panel advantages include wide viewing angles, a bright picture that can overcome room lights or daylight, and dependable, long-lasting screens. You don't watch a lot of TV shows or play lots of video games with static images on the screen for more than a few hours at a time.

A Plasma TV is new type of flat screen display that uses new technology using plasma gas to illuminate a large number of light bulbs. Slim, slick, and larger in design, these futuristic looking TVs have almost lifelike images with their fantastic picture quality, and can hang on your wall like a picture.

The TV, Projection or Plasma display must have an analog component (YPrPb or RGB) or DVI digital input connection. Most standard TVs and projection TVs will most likely have analog connections, and many newer plasmas and LCD displays have DVI digital.

The multisystem plasma TV is capable of playing a number of different formats, and connecting to a number of different broadcast signals. Digital TV, and high definition digital TV (HDTV), have been making major inroads into the world of broadcasting, and it is important for all television buyers to purchase a TV that is HDTV ready. Digital television provides a dramatic improvement in terms of both picture and sound quality compared to normal NTSC analog programming.

No, the Sony 50XBR950 does not have an HDMI connection, it has DVI instead. DVI is digital as well, but it is not as high as HDMI in bandwidth. It would only be a concern if the other components have HDMI. Since HDMI is backwards compatible with DVI, this should not be an issue either. Does the Sony KDE XBR950 61 inch plasma come with its own video scaler? If there is no in-built video scaler it may not be worth the money the set costs.

There is only one plasma TV maker that incorporates built in speakers into the plasma frame (Philips). Most manufacturers do however offer speakers as additional options which can be attached to the side of the plasma TV. Amplification of these speakers comes through built in 7 or 8 watt amplifiers which are built in to the side of the plasma display (this is plenty of wattage for excellent audio output).

Plasma television technology is based loosely on the fluorescent lightbulb. The display itself consists of cells. Within each cell two glass panels are separated by a narrow gap in which neon-xenon gas is injected and sealed in plasma form during the manufacturing process. The gas is electrically charged at specific intervals when the Plasma set is in use. the heart of the plasma TV are chemical compounds called phosphors.

Plasma TV's have a larger viewing angle, usually 160 degrees. The size of LCDs is limited and they use liquid crystals.

Some Plasmavision screens come with a built in tuner, these are denoted by a T as the middle of the three letter block in the model number. Other models will display a TV picture from a tuning device such as a Satellite, Cable or Freeview Set-top Box or an analogue TV tuner. To view the picture you simply need to connect the two devices together using the correct cable.

Probably, the greatest myth about plasma displays is that they only last two to three years. The truth is that present day plasma display panels have an expected half-lifetime of anything between 30,000hrs and 60,000hrs, which is substantially more than that of a traditional CRT TV.

Plasma screens offer a number of options in this respect - from standard floor stands, to wall mounts and even ceiling mounts. We suggest that you take a look at our article on how to install a plasma TV for more details on this issue.

In essence, there are not many differences between a standard TV and a plasma TV. The main difference being the larger number of colours seen on a plasma display.

Unlike standard CRT and Plasma televisions, since there are no phosphors that light up, less power is need for operation and the light source in an LCD television generates less heat than a Plasma or traditional television. Also, because of the nature of LCD technology, there is no radiation emitted from the screen itself. Apart from better contrast due to its ability to show deeper blacks, plasma screens typically have better viewing angles than LCD.

Plasma sets work well at high altitude, yet some sets begin to buzz at higher and higher elevations. You hear the buzz because the drive circuits and transformers need to work a little harder. That???s because the air pressure is lower, resulting in less pressure to hold the gas cells to their original size. sea level, atmospheric pressure is about 1115 hPa (hPa means ???hectoPascals???). Fujitsu warrants Plasmavision sets to work without extra buzzing to air pressure as low as 800hPa.

Typically the plasma TV will come without a TV tuner unless stated. You may use a VCR hooked up to the plasma TV to view television channels.

This is a tricky topic because the front panel of most plasma displays has been treated with an anti-glare coating that is easy to disturb. We have to reference the Panasonic 8 series operating manual for suggestions on how to clean your TV. The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using a cleaning cloth or a soft, lint free cloth.

Temporary appearance of the logo or ghosting may occur, which will usually disappear after normal viewing. Usually plasma TVs do not need to go in for frequent repairs or servicing.

Some of the Plasma TVs and LCD TVs do come with speakers, while other do not. Please check the individual Plasma TV or LCD TV specs to see if the Plasma TV or LCD TV you are interested in has speakers or not. In most cases, separate side-mounted speakers can be purchased.
