Pro: Size
-
The plasma television's thin frame works to its advantage. Because it is not as bulky as traditional television sets, it is easier to place in the home and takes up less space.
Pro: Glare
-
Plasma television can be seen in almost any setting with almost any amount of light. Even sunlight that would normally cause glare on a television screen will not interrupt the viewing of a plasma TV.
-
Pro: Aspect Ratio
-
Nearly all plasma TV's are manufactured in a widescreen format (16x9 aspect ratio). This allows movies to be seen in the way they would be shown in a movie theater, without cutting the picture at the ends.
Con: Fragile
-
The thin frame of the plasma television also works against it. It makes the TV fragile, which causes problems in shipping and allows it to be easily damaged in the home.
Con: Power
-
It takes high voltage power to activate the plasma receptors inside the plasma TV. This makes it one of the more power-hungry types of TV sets out there.
