LCD TV vs Plasma TV

Due to its brilliant pictures, LCD TVs are very ideal for bright rooms.
LCD TV produces high resolution pictures.
This is the greatest advantage that a LCD display enjoys. A LCD TV can display pictures of 1080p HD resolution. In other words, the pictures you see on your LCD TV or monitor, are sharper, more detailed than on a Plasma screen of similar size
