Are you tired of browsing through various TV product catalogues? Selecting a particular HDTV from the wide variety available can prove to be taxing. LCD TVs and Plasma TVs are some of the options you might consider if you are thinking of purchasing a 1080p TV.

Picture Quality 

The picture quality plays a vital role in the selection process. The Plasma unit is naturally better than LCD TVs in this particular department. However LED backlighting is one new feature incorporated in LCD TVs that is closing the gap.

A plasma TV will provide you with improved black levels, better contrast ratios and colour accuracy.
Nature of Usage

You can also use your HDTV as a secondary computer monitor. It is recommended to purchase an LCD TV in this case. LCD TVs were in fact primarily invented for this particular purpose.

The Response Rate 

The response time is usually mentioned when you buy an LCD TV. The response rate is measured in milliseconds. It determines the time required for the pixels to change colour.
Plasma TVs definitely beat LCD TVs in this department as well. This is why they are generally preferred for fast moving pictures. However, both LCD TVs and Plasma TVs can function for a longer time period than ordinary televisions.
