Plasma TVs and Gaming
Home theater is just one possible use for Plasma TVs. Console and PC gaming has quickly become a major part of home entertainment for enthusiasts of all ages. And, there is no better way to show off the latest games than on a Plasma TV.
Plasma TVs are very well suited for gaming, and offer a variety of advantages over conventional televisions:
Bright, Brilliant Colors: Plasma TVs are sought after by home theater enthusiasts for their high brightness and brilliant colors. This also provides a strong advantage for gaming, and nothing makes colorful games stand out better.
PC and Console Inputs: Most Plasma TVs include inputs for both console and PC gaming. The latest console systems, like Microsoft Xbox actually offer component video outputs for the highest quality image source. Many Plasma TVs will also accept a standard analog VGA input, making for a very nicely sized monitor for PC gaming.
Improved Resolution: Plasma TVs are able to display improved resolutions over normal TVs. Plasma HDTVs can even support games that work in the HD formats such as 720P and 1080i. Again, the Microsoft Xbox is the system of choice for the Plasma TV enthusiast as it offers built-in support for the HD formats.
Progressive Scan: All Plasma TVs offer at least a 480p picture display. Progressive scan has significant advantages over standard television's interlaced picture, such as sharper display, crisper image quality and improved contrast. Both DVD playback and the Microsoft Xbox take advantage of 480p, with nearly all Xbox games supporting this improved display.
Widescreen Format: A significant advantage over conventional TVs for both DVD playback and video gaming is Plasma TV's standard 16:9 widescreen format. An ever increasing number of games are beginning to support this format, most on the Microsoft Xbox console. Top games like RalliSport Challenge for driving fans and Dead or Alive 3 for fighting fans offer spectacular graphics, excellent gameplay and outstanding widescreen format. They are worth having on hand just to impress visitors with the remarkable picture of your Plasma TV.
Despite these advantages, Plasma TVs do have one weakness compared to standard CRT televisions when it comes to gaming: the potential for screen burn-in. Screen burn-in is caused when the same image is displayed for a long period of time, actually damaging the phosphors that generate the colors for each pixel of the Plasma display.
Burn-in can be a serious issue for gaming, since many games contain screen elements (life bars, compasses, ammo counts, etc.) that remain visible for long periods of time. Plasma TV burn-in can be minimized by making sure these elements do not remain on screen for long periods. This can be best accomplished by taking frequent breaks, changing the game being played, or changing to a TV channel for a few minutes at a time. With proper precaution, gaming can be made very safe on a Plasma TV.
The image is of windows reinstalling on a system attached to a 32" SAMSUNG plasma TV. I was updating a system and sorting a few issues for a mate I know
