If you frequently watch DVD's and you are purchasing a plasma television, plasma television screen sizes ratios are an important consideration. This is one of the features you should investigate prior to making a final decision on which TV you are going to choose. The ratio will affect television viewing.
Aspect Ratio and HDTV
Today's conventional regular television signals are transmitted with an aspect ratio of 4:3 (the nearly square TV picture to which you are accustomed). All HDTV and some SDTV signals will be transmitted with an aspect ratio of 16:9 in the near future. This means that you will either lose part of the picture with a square television, or need a converter.
HDTV broadcasts are now being delivered in the wide-screen format, the same aspect ratio in which movies are made. Most plasma televisions and big screen televisions are manufactured in the widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio.
However, since television programs are made to fit a square television, you may get some distortion on a wide screen format. So if you do choose a wide screen format, make certain that you get a television smart enough to know the difference.
Screen Size Factors
There are a number of factors to consider when determining your plasma television's screen size. Like all televisions, plasma monitors are measured diagonally across the screen. Plasma television screens start as small as 5 inches and increase in size up to 63 inches or larger. The typical sizes are 24 inches, 32 inches, 40 inches, 50 inches and around 60 inches. The most popular plasma television screen sizes are 32 inches and 61 inches.
Be aware that the larger your plasma television screen, the heavier it will be and the harder it will be to mount. The smallest screens can be taken just about anywhere while the 60 inch screens require their own carpentry supports!
Distance from the Screen
The next factor to help you find the right plasma television is how far you will sit from the screen. If you are going to be sitting close to the screen, like 6 to 10 feet away, then you probably want a medium sized monitor (32 or 36 inches).
You will get the best picture from a 42 inch plasma television if you can sit at least 10 feet back. And for a really big picture, you will need at least 15 feet. Of course, you can just try out different distances in the show room to determine if it is a good match for you.
Conclusion
Size is not everything, but in some things it does not hurt. So approach your plasma television experience with the view to get the most versatile piece of equipment that you can.

15 In Flat Screen Tv
The plasma flat screen television was invented in the 1960s, and although it made a brief appearance in the market in the 70s, it did not quite catch on. Nowadays, the plasma flat screen television is defining what a home theatre should be, and most people who pride themselves on having a fine home theatre own a plasma flat screen television along with other high-tech innovations, such as surround sound speakers. The plasma flat screen television truly gives one the feeling of sitting in the cinema, and, if mounted on the wall, it can save a lot of space. Although the price was once out of the range of the average consumers, plasma flat screen televisions are slowly moving into the range of affordability.
A plasma flat screen television uses technology that is quite different from the typical cathode ray television. Neon and Xenon gases move between two flat panel glasses. These are inert gases and are not dangerous. The result is amazing color; the typical plasma flat screen television produces 16 million unique colors and provides great contrast between dark and light. The screen has a “perfect black” that gives it a cinematic feel. Although the plasma flat screen television is much larger than the conventional television, with all of its devices, it is usually no more than four inches thick. This allows one to install a plasma flat screen television on the wall to save space.
Although the cost of a plasma flat screen television keeps decreasing, you should take into account the amount of power these televisions can use when you figure out the cost in real terms. While there are many energy-efficient models, a larger plasma flat screen television uses a lot of electricity. However the technology of the plasma TV is being developed and improved constantly, and, before long, using a plasma TV will conserve energy.
One advantage to the plasma flat screen television is that it has a relatively long life; the typical set has 60,000 hours to half life (half-life occurs when the screen quality is reduced by half). When you purchase your plasma flat screen television, ensure that you have an excellent warrantee and that you can have it serviced for free or at a low cost.
One thing to be aware of with your plasma flat screened television is that it is quite delicate, and the slightest bump can cause problems. For instance, if a child throws a ball at the screen, hundreds of individual tubes can lose their ability to glow, and repair for this is expensive, if it is possible. It is therefore a good idea for parents to install their plasma flat screened television so that it is high enough to avoid such interference (and don’t let your kids play ball in the TV room!). There are tilt wall mounts that allow you to install your plasma flat screened television at an angle if you store it high.
Along with the plasma flat-screened television, you can purchase plasma furniture or special cabinets and stands for your plasma television. If you prefer the classic, hardwood look, there are home entertainment cabinets specially designed to hold plasma flat screened televisions along with other equipment. For a more contemporary look, you can find metallic curved stands with simple glass shelves or just a short stand to place on top of an existing cabinet or table.
An important tip to keep in mind when choosing plasma flat screened television furniture and supplies is that they should be well-tested for sturdiness, since a plasma TV cannot handle a bump, much less, a complete fall. Make sure that all surfaces and mounts are sturdy enough to hold your set or more weight, just to be on the safe side.
