Plasma Display Vs LCD

Plasma Display	LCD
It is based on fluorescent light bulb and uses mixture of gases sandwiched between two glass panels.	It uses liquid crystal material that can block or transmit polarized light.
They are fairly heavy.	They weigh less as compared to plasma displays.
Plasma panels are more susceptible to burn-in of static images.	They do not suffer from this problem.
Life-span is shorter around 20,000 to 60,000 hours.	Life-span is longer around 50,000 to 1,00,000 hours.
These are cheaper.	These are expensive.
Plasma TVs look the same from almost any angle.	The viewing angle is up to 165°, picture suffers from the side.
It consumes more power than LCDs.	It consumes less power than plasma panels.
They do not work well at high altitudes due to pressure differential between the gases inside the screen and the air pressure at altitudes.	They have no effect of altitudes.
It has higher contrast ratio up to 3000:1. It has more ability to render deeper blacks.	It has lower contrast ratio i.e. 350-450:1. It has less ability to render deeper blacks.
There is little or no motion lag in fast moving images.	The fast moving objects may exhibit lag artifacts.
They are not as bright as LCD. Therefore it is better for use in a dimly-lite or darkened room.	They have increased image brightness. This makes LCD better for viewing in brightly lit rooms.
Plasma TVs generate more heat because of need to light phosphors to create images.	LCD produces less heat than plasma TVs.
Screen surface is more reflective than LCDs. Therefore, it is more susceptible to glare i.e. screen surface reflects ambient light sources.	Screen surface on most LCDs is less reflective making it less susceptible to screen glare.
