Unfortunately, the ugly truth for some die-hard technology fans is that the plasma TV was not developed for video games and watching cable or satellite. It is true even though you may not believe the facts. The technology has been around for a while and may even be older than some of you. Everyone needs a little bit of history. You never know when you will be on a game show and need this information.
One of the major drawbacks of a plasma HDTV television is its proclivity to get images burned into the screen. Whenever a still image is left on the screen for a long time, the image can be burned onto the screen, which means that there will be a faint image that is always visible on top of the normal viewing images. Sometimes, this may disappear after a few weeks, but oftentimes the image is permanent. This could pose problems for people who like to play video games or watch VHS movies on their new plasma television set. If you put the game or VHS tape on pause for too long, this could cause a burned image into your screen. DVDs, however, have a built-in screen saver capability to help keep this from happening.
Another problem that consumers have with plasma screen televisions is their lack of viewing angles. With other types of TVs, you can see the picture from several angles, usually even if you're standing directly to the left or the right of it. But with plasma screens, the view is somewhat limited. Viewers can only see the full picture from a small range of viewing positions and the screen just appears black from some angles. This could be just a minor problem if some planning is involved in the process of setting up your viewing area. Some situations might limit the enjoyment of television viewing on a plasma screen.
The one constant in life is that life moves ahead. Technology and knowledge continuously grow. New ideas are developed and make their way into our everyday lives. The plasma TV is no different. When it debuted it was very expensive. As new technology was developed and more manufacturers began mass producing the televisions, the prices began to fall. The people who once could not afford the TV can now have as many as they want in their homes for their viewing pleasure.
The world owes the scientists at the University of Illinois a great big thank-you. Had it not been for their need to have a new computer monitor, the world may never have seen a plasma TV. The big screen television sets would still be the TV of choice and a clear picture would still have been a dream instead of a reality. Those scientists did it and now people around the world can enjoy great television viewing at a great price.
