In this article, which is the second from the series plasma vs LCD (see link at the bottom) concerning the main issues to be dealt with when wanting to purchase a new HDTV, we will talk about the difference in quality picture in plasmas and LCD TVs, depending on how bright the light in the room is. In the first article of the series, we shared with you only general information about what to seek in a new HDTV. Now, we will try to discover if, when we talk about plasma vs LCD TV, room lighting has a saying in the decision that a buyer should make.

Short explanation

When the light in the room where the TV is installed is very bright, this light will reflect on the screen surface causing what is called a glare. This glare can ruin the TV watching experience, as you will not be able to see clearly the pictures shown on the screen. If the HDTV has the capacity to emit a stronger light than the ambient light, you will not encounter this problem. That is why, when we talk about plasma vs LCD TV, room lighting comes into play. HDTVs must also have anti-glare properties in order to give us the best experience, so this aspect cannot be neglected. Let's see what each of HDTV models delivers under these circumstances.

Watching plasma in a dark room

Both LCD and plasma offer great quality pictures, but they behave differently when ambient light is involved. As plasma screens are generally more reflective that those used in an LCD design, they tend to be less competitive in a room washed over by sunlight. On the other hand, in a dark room, one can enjoy the best quality picture with their plasma, as well as when the room is only dimly lit.

Watching LCD TV in a brightly lit room

In all fairness, if you are the type of person that enjoys watching television during the day, or in a room with all the lights on, or very bright sunlight, you will discover that an LCD is the best option for you. Despite the reputation plasma enjoys regarding picture quality, it will generally have lower performances under such conditions, than an LCD.

Making the right choice

As you can easily see, in plasma vs LCD TV competition, room lighting is a very important factor. It really depends on your needs to find out which model to purchase.

If you like to watch television with the lights off, then plasma could be the best solution for you. But, if you like to pass your time in front of the TV, in full daylight, then an LCD TV may be the best recommendation.

Last words

Things are changing really fast, as the technology evolves, and plasma vs LCD TV room lighting is an open issue. As each of the technologies tries to overpower its opponent, better and better models appear on the market. If you are interested in finding out more about what these new models of plasma and LCD TV models can offer you, then we suggest you some further reading about Plasma versus LCD TV. Another important thing you need to know is that best HDTV models can make an exception from the rule. Though in general LCD TV is more recommended for a room with a lot of light, best plasma TV models can be just as good. In most cases high end plasma TVs are better than low-end or average LCDs and about the same as high end LCD TV models.

LCD can't get full HD from camcorder via DVI port?

I connect my HD camcorder Canon Vixia HF100 to full HD LCD display via DVI-HDMI adapter (monitor have no HDMI port) and HDMI cable (type C in camcorder to type A in adapter) but this monitor can get only 720x480 (DVD) and not full HD (1920x1080) images.
Can you explain why and give me a resolution? Thanks

Your description is slightly confusing in that it is pretty rare to have a LCD monitor operating in "Full HD" as you say, because full HD being 1920x1080 is a resolution reserved for HD televisions, Plasma or LCD. If it is a monitor it more likely would be 1920x1200.

So I assume you have an LCD TV doubling as a monitor, which is a setup I myself use for duel screen on my PC. If this is the case, there are two solutions that spring to mind.

The first, more likely explanation is that it is actually a setting on the TV. As crazy as it sounds, I just bought an LG 47" LCD for my company at work, plugged a cam corder in and the res was all crappy. Upon going into the TV settings I discovered you actually had to turn it up from the default 720x576 to 1280x720 (basic HD) or 1920x1080 (full HD). I don't know why this is necessary but if your TV has settings try looking there.

Secondly, some camcorders have a setting which automatically downres's footage to non-HD on output on the assumption that the receiving end is not HD. You may have to switch this mode off in the camera settings.

Sorry if that didn't help, but it's all I can think of. Good luck!
