What is the difference between Plasma and Projection TVs?

Plasma Display is a flat-panel television which demonstrates similar technology with the old CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) television. The basic concept of a plasma display is to brighten tiny colored pixels from fluorescent bulbs to arrange an image. Each pixel is lit independently.

Every pixel is made of three separate subpixels, each with different colored phosphors. When they are ignited, the phosphors create countless tiny dots called pixels. Projection TVs have huge screens. Projection TVs create a small picture and then use a beam of light to present the picture at a much larger size — plasma tv's use of plasma gas to light up phosphors.

The Display Plasma is a flat-panel television that employs a technology that is similar to that of the old Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) television. The plasma display uses the concept of illuminating tiny and colored pixels extracted from fluorescent bulbs in forming an image. The concept of plasma TV is that it lights up phosphors with the use of plasma gas, then use it to display images. Projection TVs, on the other hand, have very large screens.

The projection TVs use a beam of light to display a created picture on the screen in a much larger size. The plasma TVs, though large, is not as sized as the projection TVs. The projection TVs can be projected and adjusted to your desired size, thus making it be of big size. The plasma TVs save space and can be hung on the wall because they are smaller. The projection TVs need very big, and they consume space.

As their name suggests, plasma gas is used in Plasma TV's to light up and display the images. Beams are used for Projection TV's and they are much larger than plasma TV's for they are projected to fit the content size. With the plasma TV's being smaller, they save space in the home and can be mounted or hung from walls.

A projection TV must be used on a flat wall and a dark room, but they take up much more space. Yes, projection TV's are lower priced. This is because of plasma TV's product a better quality image and match the best CRT sets.
