People tend to confuse terminology with regards to television let's take for example the plasma television. Well technically there is no such thing as a plasma television what you are actually referring to is the display and actually a plasma display panel (PDP) is only one of several types of flat panel displays now commonly used for large TV sets or displays.

To bring it down to its most simplistic form plasma display works effectively by housing many thousands of tiny cells located between two panels of glass which are held in a mixture of inert gasses usually Neon or Xenon.

Let us take a more detailed look at a couple of Plasma Flat screen TVs just to see what there is available at the present point in time.

First up is the LG 50PC1D

The 50PC1D is a 50in Plasma TV and these TV's at present can be found in the region of 1500 pounds sterling or 3000 US dollars. The resolution of the screen is 1366 X 768 and with regards to being HD Ready the answer is yes. The LG has 3 (2 RGB) scarts and the type and number of Multimedia interfaces the 50PC1D uses is HDMI and 2. The type of Tuner for this TV is Analogue and Digital and the LG is available from a wide variety of outlets.

So to take an initial view how would we rate LG 50PC1D

Well it is a TV after all and as such the logical place to start would be the picture and our score here would be 6 out of 10, next we would look at the sound quality and our view of this would be 8 out of 10. Another useful aspect to review is the availability and number of relevant connections and our score here would be 8 out of 10. Overall with regards to the actual "featureability" of the set our score would be 8 out of 10 and with regards to ease of use and overall value for money our opinion and score would be 6 and 6 out of 10 respectively.

The overall verdict would be that the overall performance of this Plasma we felt was rather good if not let down slightly by a noisy picture but on the other hand compared against similar machines this is on the cheap side so that has to be a plus also.

(The next Plasma Flat Screen TV to look at would be the|Next up amongst the Plasma Flat Screen TVs to look at would be the} Vivadi Saturn HD50.

The Saturn HD50 is a 50in Plasma TV and these TV's at present can be found in the region of 8000 pounds sterling or 16000 US dollars. The resolution of the screen is 1366 X 768 and with regards to being HD Ready the answer is yes. The Vivadi has 1 (no RGB) scarts and the type and number of Multimedia interfaces the Saturn HD50 uses is HDMI and 2. The type of Tuner for this TV is Analogue and Digital and the Vivadi is available from limited outlets only.

So to take an initial view how would we rate Vivadi Saturn HD50

Well it is a TV after all and as such the logical place to start would be the picture and our score here would be 10 out of 10, next we would look at the sound quality and our view of this would be 10 out of 10. Another useful aspect to review is the availability and number of relevant connections and our score here would be 10 out of 10. Overall with regards to the actual "featureability" of the set our score would be 10 out of 10 and with regards to ease of use and overall value for money our opinion and score would be 8 and 6 out of 10 respectively.

The overall verdict would be when you look at the scores we gave it you get a fairly good picture of what our team felt when they reviewed. This may sound slightly stupid and very obvious but now and then you can give a Tva good score on a technical basis but not really "fall in love" with the entire package. In this case the big down side is the price it has to be said but if you have the cash or can get your hands (legally) on the money thenm do whatever you have to do to get one of these pieces of kit. The Picture quality alone just leaves most people speechless!

Since 2006, which according to analysts was very much a watershed year in that it was the year that LCD TVs really started to take market share from the Plasma manufacturers, LCD TVs have started to share the large screen market with Plasmas. One of the other areas of consolidation within the Industry has seen the Plasma manufacturing base very much consolidate with now over 50 brands being manufactured by only 5 companies this of course has led to economies of scale hitherto imagined where the technology of more and more screens can be shared and further help cut the overall cost base.
