    Plasma is a gas. I heard LED is good and LCD too.

    A lot of people want to know the difference between Plasma, LCD and LED-LCD HDTV’s as well as which one is better than the other. The bottom line is that LED-LCD televisions are the newest technology and are superior to Plasmas and LCD’s in virtually every way. Yes, they are slightly more expansive, but they are worth it if you can afford it. Below is a chart where I scored all three of these technologies with 3-points for best performing and 1-point for lease performing. The total scores speak for themselves.

    Trying to figure out if Plasma’s are better that LCD’s or vice versa is slightly more difficult. It really depends on what you will be using the TV for. Some time ago I have written an article for eHow on this subject and you are welcome to read it. Looking at the chart will also provide some information:

    Plasma is better then LCD. Plasma is a gas and tends to get hot. I work in a TV warehouse and we buy all of our TV's through Plasma God because they have the best prices...

    LED is the back lighting that illuminates the LCD. They're both LCD's. Regular/older LCD's use cold cathode tubes to illuminate the LCD screen which is less efficient and is being replaced by LED.

    Plasma tvs use gas to make picture and are cheaper most of the time for each tv size.

    LED is the best, I watched Avitar on his blue ray and his LED. It looked so good you could tell the movie was in a studio. LED are very expensive.. $5500 for a 52" is well worth it if you have the money
