Comparing the technology in the older types of television with the newer plasma screen models is always an interesting task. There is no use of the old image-producing standby, cathode ray tubes (CRT) in a plasma screen television. This CTR is the reason most TV models, before the invention of its plasma counterparts, are big and space-consuming. Instead of CRT, the plasma screen television uses glass components (or “cells”) that are injected with neon-xenon, a gas. This gas is then suspended in plasma and when electrically charged it can strike phosphors colored blue, green, and red. And when these phosphors erupt, an image is produced.
The size of a plasma screen television is a draw that makes many people purchase them. However, these features may have some counter-effect if consumers let themselves be blinded by its capabilities. Though you can easily purchase a plasma screen television that is anywhere from 32″ to 63″, you should not automatically assume that bigger is a better deal. Always take into consideration the size of the room where you will be putting it. With the size of these sets, it will be an imposing figure in your entertainment room and so it is important to put it where you think it is appropriate.

If you are looking for a set that is 42-46 inches, then you should go with 10-14 feet. A full fifteen feet should be the distance that you keep from a 50-60 inch set. Experts further believe that you should stay back at least 25 feet from any TV that is 60″ or larger.
