It's easy to be instantly drawn to a plasma TV screen, especially one that is displaying full HDTV programming. The visual beauty is amazing. And plasma TVs tend to be among the lower cost thin screen technologies that are available today. But there are a few problems inherent to the design and you should at least be aware of them before making a buying decision.
It's easy to be instantly drawn to a plasma TV screen, especially one that is displaying full HDTV programming. The visual beauty is amazing. And plasma TVs tend to be among the lower cost thin screen technologies that are available today. But there are a few problems inherent to the design and you should at least be aware of them before making a buying decision.
The first is that plasma TVs use inert gases that are illuminated to display colors on the screen. The way that this is accomplished makes for very high contrast, vivid images on the screen, but it also can be affected by high altitudes. If you live above 6,000 - 7,000 feet above sea level, you should know that plasma TVs have to work much harder to produce the same image than they would at lower altitudes. This may not cause an immediate problem, but over time the monitor wears out much faster due to the extra work load. So if you happen to live in high altitudes, just bear this in mind when buying a plasma TV.
The second problem that plasma TVs can exhibit is a susceptibility to screen burn-in. This happens whenever any static image stays on the screen for a very long time and is still faintly visible even when the image changes. It is said to have been "burned-in" to the screen, and can be very irritating to see a ghost pattern still visible as you watch TV. The easy way to avoid this problem with older plasma screens is to make sure that you don't leave the TV on when you are not watching it, and especially when pausing a video game for a very long time. Thankfully though, newer plasma screen TVs have technology built in to address this problem that subtly shifts the image to surrounding pixels as you watch and essentially keeps the image moving although your eye does not detect it.
The third plasma TV problem that we will discuss is the heat it generates as it runs. Plasma screens often cause so much heat inside the unit that manufacturers usually install a fan to cool it down while operating. This actually works very well, but on some models the noise that the fan makes can become an annoyance. So listen for this problem carefully before you buy.
None of these problems are major enough to say that you shouldn't buy a plasma screen TV, but they should be understood beforehand so you can use the equipment properly, and choose the right plasma TV when you buy.

It's hard to not be amazed by this LG Cinema Television. It is ridiculous thin for a TV that wide. In this article, we have a look at the technical specifications, pros, cons, and features of the LG Cinema Screen 47LM7600.
First, let's review the features. The LG Cinema Screen 47LM7600 comes with some innovative features. For example, Magic Remote is a feature that allows you to control your television like a Nintendo Wii. You just need to point to the screen and your cursor will follow using the television sensors.
Like most televisions, the LG Cinema Screen 47LM7600 also comes with a smart share system. This allows you to easily browse files from external storage devices such as your laptop, cameras, and phones. You can even connect through Wi-Fi if your external device comes with such features.
In terms of the actual picture quality, you will be awed by how vibrant the colors are. Using the next generation 3D Technology, you can even experience cool 3D Movies like Avatar in your own home. With a high definition resolution of 1080p (the highest currently available), your picture will look extra crisp and sharp. There are several models for this TV. The best model available (LM9600) comes with a TruMotion technology of 480 Hz. Obviously, this is not as great as Plasma TVs and you may experience motion blurs once in a while. However, most if not all action scenes will appear clear.
As an ENERGY STAR qualified television, you will also save a lot of energy. When you check your electricity bill, you will be surprised by how much you saved, especially if you compare it with previous bills. So what did customers have to say about this television?
The first customer we interviewed was very please with the LG Cinema Screen 47LM7600. She was especially pleased with the stand which came with the TV. It was extremely durable and the television mounted without much issues. However, one issue the customer had with the LG Cinema Screen 47LM7600 was the screen matrix. She found it to be of low quality. What does this result in? A light and cloud effect for certain images. You can never miss this on a dark screen. That said, this issue did not really cause any huge problems with the overall television use.
Another customer commented that the magic remote feature was a little boring. In the beginning, she found it pretty cool because there was a now mouse cursor on her screen, but the excitement quickly died down when she no longer had any use for television apps. So what do you think about this television? Would you get a LG Cinema Screen 47LM7600?
