Plasma TV Reviews

Plasma television is a flat, lightweight surface covered with millions of tiny glass bubbles. Each bubble contains a gas-like substance, the plasma, and has a phosphor coating. Think of the bubbles as the pixels. Essentially millions of Neon signs.

Now, think of each pixel-bubble as having three sub-pixels – one red, one green, one blue. When it is time to display an image signal (RGB or video), a digitally controlled electric current flows through the flat screen, causing the plasma inside designated bubbles to give off ultraviolet rays. This light in turn causes the phosphor coatings to glow the appropriate color making your Plasma TV provide the best video image anywhere.

Millions of RGB bubbles glowing and dimming to make a rich, vivid image.

The plasma display is one of the most exciting consumer electronics products to debut in the past decade. It’s literally changing the shape of television, from the familiar CRT-type TV’s that have been around for 50 years, to a sleek, nearly flat display that can hang on a wall. These new displays deliver high-definition television, and they serve both as TV’s and computer monitors.
