From the beginning, when the plasma screen television hit the market, everyone was in awe. Really, why not? The new versions were thin and flat, and much more pleasant to look at than the bulkier, older models. The new plasma screen television featured a good deal more flexibility than the older bulkier sets ever dreamed of having. Both the ceiling and the wall were great new places that the newer model could be placed that the older models could not be. This space saving feature made the newer model a favorite in showcases and other similar display arenas.
Plasma televisions require a completely different type of technology than the older models. For the plasma screen television, the usage of cathode ray tube, or CRT, is no longer necessary in producing the image. The technology behind CTR is the reason that many TV models before were always so big and bulky. As a replacement for the space-consuming CRT, the plasma screen television uses tiny glass compartments (or “cells”) that are injected with neon-xenon, which is a gas. Red, green, and blue colors can result from an electrically charged gas that is suspended in plasma. After the phosphors erupt, and image is produced.
It is not uncommon for people to buy a plasma screen television for the size feature. Features can easily have negative consequences for those that are blinded by the positives. The size range of a plasma screen television – anywhere around 32 to 63 inches, typically – often leads people to think that the bigger the set, the better, but that isn’t true. A major thing that most people don’t stop and think about is the size of the room they are going to be storing the television in. 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.
Most of us have heard from our mothers that sitting too close to the TV can be dangerous. If you are getting a set that is around 32 to 37 inches, then you should always keep a distance of six to ten feet. TV sets that are 42-46 inch should command a distance of 10 to 14 feet. A full fifteen feet should be the distance that you keep from a 50-60 inch set. If you get a super large set that measures more than sixty inches, you need to keep at least a 25 feet distance.
