3. Plasma TV’s • http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=plasma+television&view=detail&id=D8DFA899A5944FB33714BC7C6A69B06D133B4A86&first=0&FORM=IDFRIR •Plasma televisions are susceptible to screen burn-in. Burn-in occurs because the light emitting phosphor material in plasma screens degrades with use, loosing its luminosity. Therefore, if some areas of the screen are constantly made to emit higher levels of brightness than other areas, the phosphor degrades unevenly across the screen resulting in “ghost” images. Newer model plasma televisions contain technology to mitigate this problem, however screen burn-in for plasma displays can still occur under extreme conditions. Plasma televisions therefore should not be used if long periods of static image display is required. Good stuff:•Plasma televisions are thin and can be mounted on a wall.•Are slimmer and weigh less than rear projection televisions, and of course much less than CRT televisions. •Produce better color accuracy, brightness and contrast than any other TV technology except for CRTs.
