LCD TV, as the name implies uses a liquid crystal display to produce an image. Without getting lost in technical jargon, the screen is composed of hundreds of thousands of small pixels that change color and shadow, like an electric current is passed through them. The LCD screen is backlit produces light levels. Only when the backlight is combined with the changes that the image pixel is visible. The technology of plasma TVs is highly variable. Basically, a plasma screen is built by thousands of small pockets of gas, usually filled with either xenon or neon. These blobs of plasma shadow “and change the brightness with minimal changes in blood and, finally, the image undergoes a phosphor composed of three primary colors, and only then the final image produced.

Normally, this will be a logo or a screenshot of network play. Models of LCD televisions do not suffer from this problem. Life is another factor that can separate the two technologies. An LCD TV can usually guarantee a period of about sixty thousand hours more tangible about seven and a half years of continuous playback. On the other hand, some plasmas lose about half their brightness after twenty thousand, even if the uniform modern varieties boast of sixty thousand hours of viewing.
