One of the biggest drawbacks of the big screen television is the
space needed for the television set itself. The plasma TV
technology has made it possible to incorporate a big screen
television into a small room. To understand how this change came
about, briefly consider the difference in technology between a
traditional television set and a plasma TV.
For the majority of time that television sets have been used as
part of the home entertainment system, the television picked up
a analog signal sent out by a broadcaster. That signal was
analyzed by the television set and cathode ray tubes lit up the
screen of the television. Thousands of tiny pixels make up the
screen of the TV set in three colors - red, blue and green.
Combinations of colors gave different hues as seen in real life
and the result was a movie that (as nearly as possible)
duplicated what we see in the real world. Digital television
systems have increased the quality of the picture though many
signals are still in analog form.
The plasma TV uses a different kind of technology for producing
the picture though the reception is the same. In the case of the
plasma TV, the pixels are lit up using something very similar to
a fluorescent light. One of the biggest advantages is that the
plasma TV technology uses much less space than the cathode ray
tubes. This means that the plasma TV is only a few inches thick
as opposed to the tube televisions that were large, bulky pieces
of furniture.
This means that a smaller room that might not have been suitable
for a big screen television set before could now have sufficient
room. Because the screens are flat, you are also not dealing
with the distortion at the edges of the screen and don't really
have to be directly in front of the plasma TV to get a good
view.
