When you want to buy a flat panel TV, probably the first question that pops in your head is “plasma or LCD?”. After all, they both look similar and from what you’ve heard, they even seem to offer pretty much the same advantages over the old tubes. So the plasma vs LCD TV battle that just started in your head, needs a winner. However, the situation is not that clear, both types of displays offering advantages and disadvantages, but without clearly rising above each other. Imagine if one type of display would be better than the other in every way. Then the looser would just disappear from the market because everybody would go for the winning technology.
