immaculatae Plasma misconception

I wanted to get a post out there immediately to stimulate the thinking populous out there. I deal with a major question everyday at work and its almost always asked with the client thinking about a particular side of the answer. "What is the difference between Plasma and LCD?" I am not here going to go into technological differences between Plasma and LCD, I will do that in other posts. I want to focous in this post on the typical answer to the said question. "Plasma's reflect light"

Although this is true, that Plasma does reflect light, it is not as though it cause reflection. In most cases the client is replacing a CRT television, and in some it has a curved glass screen. The amount of reflection differs considerably between these. A plasma as a flat Glass will automatically cut down on the amount of light that it is going to reflect. And as a technological feature of the product, most Plasma manufacturers have put UV filters in the glass that actually breaks down the amount of light rays that are able to reflect from the screen.

Consumers should consider this, although YES a plasma does allow light to reflect the amount is minimal and considering most viewing takes place in the evening on in to night, there would be little if any reflection at all. Another thing to keep in mind when considering the reflective aspect of plasma is which direction your windows face.
