I want to spend around 600-700 pounds for a wide screen Television. But I confused with lots of different technology and I don’t know which one is better? Plasma? LCD? Full HD? HD ready? …

Answer:
LCD:

pros:for watch shows and plaing games (ps3,etc.)

cons: not so clear because of the pixels (it depends, some r clear than others.)

LCDs tend to consume less power than plasma screens, with some estimates ranging that power saving at up to 30 per cent less than plasma. LCDs are also generally lighter than similar sized plasmas, making it easier to move around or wall mount.

Plasma:

pros: clear than LCD tv

cons:For watching movies in dark , cause palsma screen reflect light so if you watch movies in bright daylight, you won't be able to see clearly.

plasma screens typically have better viewing angles than LCD. Viewing angles are how far you can sit on either side of a screen before the picture's quality is affected. You tend to see some brightness and colour shift when you're on too far of an angle with LCDs, while a plasma's picture remains fairly solid. This is steadily changing, however, with more and more LCDs entering the market with viewing angles equal to or greater than some plasmas. Plasmas can also produce a brighter colour, once again due to light leakage on an LCD affecting its colour saturation.

If if like to play lots of games on tv and watch shows and want to buy a tv less than 50″ then LCD is for you

If you watch movies, and want a tv more than 50″ then plasma it is.

Answer:
Plasma technology consists hundreds of thousands of individual pixel cells, which allow electric pulses (stemming from electrodes) to excite rare natural gases-usually xenon and neon-causing them to glow and produce light. This light illuminates the proper balance of red, green, or blue phosphors contained in each cell to display the proper color sequence from the light. Each pixel cell is essentially an individual microscopic florescent light bulb, receiving instruction from software contained on the rear electrostatic silicon board. Look very closely at a plasma Television and you can actually see the individual pixel cell coloration of red, green, and blue bars. You can also see the black ribs which separate each.

Whether spread across a flat-panel screen or put in the heart of a projector, all LCD displays come from the same technological background. A matrix of thin-film transistors (TFTs) supplies voltage to liquid-crystal-filled cells sandwiched between two sheets of glass. When hit with an electrical charge, the crystals untwist to an exact degree to filter white light generated by a lamp behind the screen (for flat-panel TVs) or one projecting through a small LCD chip (for projection TVs). LCD TVs reproduce colors through a process of subtraction: They block out particular color wavelengths from the spectrum of white light until they're left with just the right color. And, it's the intensity of light permitted to pass through this liquid-crystal matrix that enables LCD televisions to display images chock-full of colors-or gradations of them.

Now comparing the various factors.

PICTURE CONSIDERATIONS

Plasma displays maintain a clear advantage in this category due to fading blacks when viewing LCDs from off axis.

COLOR ACCURACY

Preference to plasma but depends upon room light, manufacturer and model

VIEWING ANGLES

Plasma TV is superior.

FAST-MOVING VIDEO PLAYBACK

Plasma tv is preferable

COMPUTER USE

LCD preferred

POWER CONSUMPTION

LCD is better.

Answer:
The others have explained the basics of the two, so I won't repeat.

The only misconception that a lot of people still have is that Plasma has a better image quality than LCD.

This used to be true, but no longer… image quality is the same in newer models.

But Plasma Televisions will always have the burn-in problems, as it's part of how Plasma are… they've improved a LOT, and you nearly would have to do it in purpose, but it can still happen.

In the end, LCD are superior, they’ve several advantages over Plasma now, and prices are nearly the same now.

Answer:
DO NOT LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO TELL YOU THAT PLASMA SUFFERS FROM BURN IN AND PLASMA IS HEAVY AND ALL THAT TRIVIAL CRAP!!! I made the mistake of buying an LCD thinking that the LCD technology has come a long way, but it hasn't! Plasma STILL delivers superior picture than LCD. When I bought my LCD, I considered burn in and brightness, but as I sit down and watch my LCD, I don't give a damn about brightness and burn-in. All I can consider is the poor blacks and shadow detail. I don't care about burn-in, I'm not gonna leave the same image for 2 straight hours. And don't think I purchased a crappy LCD, I bought the Sony W400, the ideal LCD tv of 2008.
Answer:
plasma is run by gas and only have a 5-6 years life span. LCD is tiny pixels which have a longer lifespan than the gas.if you are buying a huge screen the picture will be superior with the plasma. if a smaller screen 32 inch for example the LCD screen will be clearer
Answer:
There are lots of, many good reasons why 63% of the population prefer plasma TVs.
