Our world is changing, and fast. And with the television being the centre of most homes, it’s an obvious target for new and better ideas. Not long ago the new must-have was the LCD TV, but now we have a new phenominon on the shelves… The 3D TV.
But here is a guide to help you to understand the differences between LCD and plasma 3D TV’s, viewing distance, screen size and picture quality. We hope you find it helpful when choosing your new 3D TV.
3D LCD or 3D plasma?
This is a hot topic on all buyers minds when it comes to choosing a 3D TV. Most people have their favourite, and usually stick to it. But, the following factors should all be looked at when making your decision:
Brightness: Overall the LCD has always managed to top the plasma when it comes down to the image brightness. This is very important when watching 3D movies because active and passive 3D glasses unfortunately cause a slight loss in the image brightness which, therefore, results in a darker picture. So, if the brightness is important to you, choose LCD.
Viewing Angles: Here, plasmas have the upper-hand over LCD which is mostly due to how the light is created in each type of screen. This is very important if a group of people are watching, it’s only fair that you all have the same, good experience. Therefore, on this note the winner is the Plasma.
In conclusion, if you’d prefer a 3D TV that gives you outstanding color fidelity and faster refresh rates then the plasma is for you. If, however you’re a keen gamer or movie watcher and want a 3D TV that will show true brightness in any environment then choose the LCD.
3D TV size
When it comes to TV’s you need to make sure that the size is just right for the room to ensure that everyone can watch in comfort. 3D ready TV manufacturers currently offer a range from 30 to 50 inch screens, so you’re sure to find one that’s right for you and your home.
Passive or active 3D TV?
If you’re looking for a 3D TV then you’ll have noticed there are manufacturers who sell 3D TVs that have either active or passive 3D technology. So, which one’s for you?
Active shutter 3D is when the 3D glasses make all the difference. Light is alternated in each lense whilst also being synced with the 3D TV to give you the 3D effect. This does this does mean a slightly cheaper screen and it is also available in current screen technologies including plasma and LCD. However, if refresh rates are important to you, some viewers are said to have noticed some ‘flickering’ with the images. Unfortunately, if you’re watching your budget, have a big family or regularly entertain groups of people then when it comes down to the 3D TV glasses themselves, they can set you back upto £100 a pair.
Passive 3D TVs display two images on the screen at the same time (although they can also be displayed in a sequential manner), but each image have a different polarization. The 3D glasses required are very simple, containing a polarized filter for each lens. The passive choice does result in vivid colours and there are no ghosting issues, which is a definite positive. And because these 3D glasses are simplistic it means their much cheaper which is lighter on the pocket. On the down side, however, this technology is really only restricted to 3D projectors and high end TV’s which are alot more expensive. Some 3D TV critics also mention that for home use, especially, passive technology can give you a less powerful picture quality.
