Your friends were not joking when they said that plasma televisions are all the rage. If you want to up your telly experience and get the most out of your programming – whether it's news on the BBC or the latest footy or rugby from Down Under – then you might want to get a Plasma TV. After all, plasma televisions have a better contrast ratio than most LCD monitors, an ability to render the deeper shades of black, more depth to its colour, a better response time to motion on-screen, and availability in various screen sizes, up to much larger screens that the LCD type of television still cannot handle. One such plasma screen is the LG 50PC55, which stands at a hefty 50 inches.

This flat screen TV promises to wait sixty thousand hours until its screen life decreases to half its original brightness, and claims that its images are life like, almost life-sized, and giving you, the viewer the best view of your images in your intimate space. This widescreen television set weighs about 35 kilos, and is available in a glossy black. With resolution at 1366 x 768, this screen displays at 720 p, and allows you various input video formats. You can also hook up this monitor to your PC, and your TV tuner has both analogue and digital, so that you can start getting hooked once the digital revolution in TV broadcasting sets in.

There are several features in this model, including reduction of video noise, parental control over programming, XD engine technology, and stereo sound. This telly also comes with a universal remote control, and it runs on both 120 and 230 volts. The LG model also supports both cable and satellite television, and can even handle your VCR or DVD. Some vendors can also offer damage insurance for shipping of this model, especially since plasma television sets are difficult and delicate to ship. When ordering, you can also ask for wall mounts and cabinet stands to go with your order.

Before you order the plasma TV, however, you need to be aware that there are a few disadvantages associated with using plasma flat panel televisions. For one, plasma TV is more susceptible to burn in, and your monitor can get hazy or darker over time. However, with recent improvements in plasma TV technology, you can expect this characteristic to be less pronounced. Another disadvantage of plasma television is that it can generate more heat, so you may be using up a lot of electricity when you use this television set; moreover, if you live in a smaller space, you will feel the heat, and you may need to find a way to cool this television set down.

Another disadvantage of plasma television is that it does not perform as well when used at high altitudes. Compared with LCD television sets, plasma sets also have a shorter display life span. Moreover, plasma television sets are much heavier, so they will need a lot more support if you want to mount them on your wall.

These are only a few facts about plasma television, and the LG 50PC55 Plasma.

You may also want to consult you on what features will best fit your budget, and which kinds of television sets are best for your home.
