Plasma TV resolutions in detail
This is the number of pixels available on the plasma tv screen. The higher
the plasma screen resolution the greater the definition and sharpness
of the plasma TV image when projecting from a computer or DVD. This is
more important with larger plasma tv screens where the pixel size is more
noticeable, where PC output can look pixellated but DVD or video images
look flawless as they are 'fastmoving'.
Plasma TV resolutions vary from 800 x 600 to 1280+. For TV use and DVD
use, 800x600 is adequate, 1024 resolution ideal. For other plasma screen
applications such as PC presentations, a higher plasma screen resolution
1024+ is essential.
Plasma TV has twice the resolution of a normal TV
Plasma TV typically are 1024 x 768 upwards which is almost twice the
resolution of a 640x480 TV. That means ultra-sharpness when playing computer
games or watching high-quality DVD video on your Plasma TV. With
the new Plasma-compatible HDTV and new DVD 'blue-laser' formats which
give higher resolution images, your Plasma TV will be ready to accept
these new high-resolution formats in the best possible quality.
The Plasma TV high resolution is also very popular with those wish
to view JPG pictures on their plasma TV, giving a resolution comparable
to a PC computer.
The difference in watching TV / DVD on a higher resolution Plasma TV
The big question is how does a
800x600 42" plasma TV perform up against a 1024x768 42" plasma
TV? On DVD and TV the difference between the plasma displays was negligible
at 4ft and non-existent at 6ft - there is no difference to the naked eye
between the plasma TVs in terms of sharpness.
As we move up in plasma TV size, the pixellation is more noticeable and
we preferred a 1024x768 resolution plasma TV at 50" in terms of picture
quality. The 800x600 50" Plasma TV was not quite as sharp as the
1024 and was noticeable.
Summary of Plasma TV resolution
- resolution is critical to PC applications and larger screens 50+ inch
plasma TV screens primarily
- watching TV and video on 42" and below plasma TV screens, the difference
is minor between higher/lower resolutions screens
