Remember when plasma TVs were considered luxury items and only found in the homes of the rich and famous? If you were on a budget when plasma TVs premiered, you could forget about owning one. Not anymore! Today, LCD has taken the place as king of all TVs, and high-quality plasma TVs are affordable now especially if you rent-to-own one at your hometown ColorTyme store.
Just because plasma TVs are no longer considered state-of-the-art technology doesn’t mean they are dying out. LG, for example, is releasing eight new plasmas, including its INFINIA line that includes a much thinner and lighter 60-inch model.

According to ElectronicHouse.com, Panasonic will release more than 20 models, including four 3D-capable TVs that range from 50-65 inches. The 3D sets will include one pair of 3D glasses. Samsung also still makes plasma TVs, although they offer LCD TVs as well. Needless to say, there’s still a market for plasma TVs so they aren’t going anywhere! Many people prefer the colors and dark-scene detail of plasma TVs compared to the relatively washed-out look of LCD. Also, plasma technology has a better picture quality in normal to low room lighting conditions and are best during nighttime viewing. On LCD TVs, LED backlights do generate accurate colors and black levels, but high-end plasma still rules when it comes to picture quality, viewing angle and motion response.

Your hometown ColorTyme rent-to-own franchise carries various brands of plasma TVs at low prices. Or, if LCD is your preference, ask a member of the ColorTyme staff to show you what they have in stock. With the affordability and bright future of plasma and the cutting-edge technology of LCD, you can’t go wrong with either choice!
