Just as with
nearly everything else, there are myths
circulating about lightweight, flat panel Plasma
TV screens. Understanding the myth of plasma
screens and high altitudes has to do with
knowing that plasma screens were developed to
perform their best located near or at sea level
altitudes. Therefore, it makes sense that a
plasma TV would have to work harder at higher
altitudes to compensate for the difference of
exterior pressure.
This compensation results in the generation of
heat, which in turn turns on the screens built
in cooling fans, which may or may not be
included in any particular system. If the Plasma
TV screen has cooling fans, they usually
transmit a reverberated hum. Hearing a definite
buzzing sound signals that the plasma TV does
have cooling fans. It is also understandable
that the life span of a plasma TV be to some
extent shortened.
However, some plasma TVs shows resilience in
running at paramount condition of up to 5000
feet, which is pretty good. Technology works
every hour developing new innovations for our
use. If they can hang Plasma TV's on the wall,
they'll soon be hanging Plasma TV's on the walls
atop mountains.
Talk with your local dealer over information
concerning high altitudes, and be open to buying
an LCD or DLP with thin flat screen panels, if
there isn't an available plasma TV for your
location. Remember the more an item is
requested, the more likely the demand for that
item will be satisfied. Your local plasma TV
dealer would have the most up to date
information concerning these and other issues,
so be sure to ask.
Understanding the myth of leaking plasma TV's,
has to do with knowing that it is not possible
for gas to leak from its sealed pixel celled
structure. Each element of the plasma screen is
separate from the others by being sealed as well
as the changing plates are sealed. When an
unusual amount of pixel space of the screen
display goes dark it is not possible to just
fill it up again. Plasma gas does not refill,
the complete panel should be replaced.
Understanding the myth of Plasma TV's
adaptability with an old VCR has to do with
knowing that made for consumer use plasma TV are
adaptable with an old VCR which has a component
video outputs, AV and S-Video. Unfortunately,
VHS is to slow in resolution with an
inconsistent and poor color quality for
entertaining pleasure on a Plasma TV.
Understanding the myth of Mercury poisoning has
to do with knowing that you are more likely to
come in contact by eating fish with traces of
mercury weekly, than to have a reaction to a
scant amount of container filled mercury of a TV
viewing screen.
Understanding the myth of energy use has to do
with knowing that studies show that the energy
use of both the Plasma and LCD TV's function
more or less the same.
