Which type of television is better, LCD or plasma??

LcD LCD is a better picture. plasma is a little worse. you can't see plasma from the side, but an lcd tv you can see from mostly any angle! Personally I would go for the LCD. Plasma TVs do have sharp pictures, but eventually the gas inside the TV will leak out and it can't be replaced, so in a few years the TV will stop working. hi , this is ur answer:

1. Plasma and LCD technology - what's the difference?

Plasma and LCD panels may look similar, but the flat screen and thin profile is where the similarities end. Plasma screens, as its name suggests, uses a matrix of tiny gas plasma cells charged by precise electrical voltages to create a picture. LCD screens (liquid crystal display) are in layman's terms sandwiches made up of liquid crystal pushed in the space between two glass plates. Images are created by varying the amount electrical charge applied to the crystals. Each technology has its strengths and weaknesses, as you'll read below.

2. Is there a difference in picture quality between plasma and LCD screens and normal CRT TVs?

It's not what's happening behind the screen that's important - it's how the screen performs as a television that matters the most. In that regard, both plasma and LCD sets produce excellent pictures, although many home entertainment specialists and gamers still say CRTs produce the best overall images (although plasmas and LCD sets are quickly catching up in terms of quality).
