A picture paints a thousand words

For most of us, brought up on the earlier black and
white TV sets, the burgeoning technological revolution
that is unfolding is beyond our understanding.

What we can understand is the almost perfect picture
quality that the plasma screens are offering us. Some
come with 3D capabilities (goggles and other
accoutrements needed) which has yet to be perfected.

The perfectly flat screen gives good viewing
capabilities from wider angles than the old TVs and
does not distort the image. The color is absolutely
perfect as well.

Are you aware that today’s plasma screens are capable
of displaying virtually millions of color shades? Some
plasma screens also come with an anti-glare coating
and special filters to improve the picture further.

These TVs also have one important feature. They have a
widescreen ratio which permits movies to be shown in
the appropriate format.

That is, the same style as we are used to in the
cinema. ‘Normal’ TVs cut the image somewhat which is
why sometimes you would see credits cut in half or
black bars at the top and bottom of the screen etc.

Perhaps another great benefit of having the plasma
screen is the incredibly stylish appearance. It takes
up much less room than a conventional television and
can be wall or ceiling mounted.

Overall depth is no more than four inches - with
slimmer designs on the way - with sizes to fit in with
any living or display space.

One cautious note, check out recommended viewing
distances before you buy.
