- For very bright rooms: LCDs are generally brighter than plasma TVs, and their screens are less reflective. That makes them better for daytime viewing in rooms with lots of windows or for nighttime use in rooms with bright lighting.
- For heavy use with video games or as a PC monitor: Both types of flat panels can do the job but with an LCD, there’s no chance static images will burn in.
- For somewhat lower electric bills: LCDs tend to use less power than comparably sized plasma TVs

- More screen for the money: inch for inch, plasma offers more bang for the buck than an LCD TV, so the same budget can buy a bigger screen.
- Enjoy a movie-theater experience: a good plasma TV’s deep black levels and high contrast can do justice to almost anything including, movies and TV programs with dark scenes.
- A wide viewing angle: with a plasma TV, the images onscreen look the same from almost any angle. That’s a big plus if a TV will be watched by a number of people sitting around a room.
