Customer Testimonials

"Thank you for your follow-up. We were extremely satisfied with the work performed by Jonathan and Ben. They were on time, friendly and very professional.

When I initially thought about mounting our TV, I was expecting our drywall to be a mess afterwards. Yet, Jonathan and Ben performed the job so quickly and neatly – with only 2 small cuts, both covered by switch plates – I was just astounded. And they had their own vacuum to assist in the minor cleanup after the installation was done.

We’re looking at a bigger job downstairs after we do some remodeling in our kitchen and family room, involving a larger TV and a sound system with ceiling speakers; and we’ll definitely give you a call when we’re ready to go with that.

Thanks again, and please forward our comments of appreciation to Jonathan and Ben."

Plasma or LCD? Quick Comparison Chart...

Use this chart as a quick guide to see the stronger or weaker points of plasma vs. LCD technology.
There are definitions about different HDTV criteria on our consumer tips page.
And you can find more specific individual details on our product details page.

If there is a clear winner in a category, then they will have a green background versus a red background.


PlasmaLCD
Description of
the Technology		 Many many many red, green, and
blue fluorescent lamps are lit at
varying intensities in combination to
produce different colors		 Liquid crystals are charged with
varying levels of electric current.
They respond by changing form and
filtering different waves of light
from one big fluorescent bulb behind them.
Price for Bigger Sizes
(40" or larger)		 Less expensive More expensive because
of the manufacturing process mostly.
Price for Smaller Sizes
(less than 40")		 More expensive because it
is harder to squeeze pixels in
to keep resolution.		 Less expensive
Color Display Plasma technology is able
to generate more colors.		 Fewer colors
Clarity with
Moving Images		 Better because of colors
and refresh rates.		 Not as good.
Sometimes shows "artifacting".
Contrast Better black levels.
Shaded areas are darker.
Much better because it can
actually turn pixels completely off.		 Not as good
Viewing Angle Good viewing angle,
even from periphery.		 Getting better, but
not as good as plasma.
Burn-In Newer models have anti-burn,
preventing this issue. They are
rated at 60,000 hours...same as LCD		 Not an issue ever.
Weight Generally heavier. Lighter, which makes
LCD great for portable
applications like boats or RV.
Brightness Plasma technology is
not generally as bright
as LCD.		 Just about the
brightest available.
Resolution
(there is no clear
advantage when using
HD signals or computers)		 Not as good
in non-HD applications.
Or smaller screen sizes.		 Better when used
in non-HD applications.
And with smaller screen sizes.
The value-oriented solution
when looking for HDTV
with a screen size larger
than 40" is plasma.
It also has advantages if you
view a lot of dark material,
or DVD movies with outer space
sequences or night scenes.		 If you need a smaller screen size
but want great resolution, the
value-oriented solution is
LCD. It also has advantages in
mobile applications because of
lighter weight. And above 6,000
feet in elevation where
plasma technology has problems.
