One of the best features of a plasma television is how thin it is. Many people choose to hang theirs directly onto the wall. One solution to hiding a plasma TV is to recess the television into the wall. This is similar to many medicine cabinets found in bathrooms. Then, the television can be hidden behind cabinet doors that either open on a hinge or will slide apart to reveal the television when you are ready to watch it.

Many people purchase armoires that are entertainment centers rather than storage or closet space. This is going to work just as well for hiding a plasma TV. This is likely the simplest option as well. There is no cutting into walls or the need to design special furniture. An armoire will keep your room looking nice and uncluttered without you having to forego your entertainment!
Now, if you want to be all James Bond about hiding a plasma TV, then there is furniture that can accommodate this. The television is placed on a lift and placed inside a piece of furniture, such as the footboard of the bed. It is tucked away nicely when you want, but with the push of a button, it will rise up from the footboard and you can watch TV comfortably in your own bed. This can also be seen in hot tubs. Thank you Moneypenny.

Ultimately, hiding a plasma TV comes down to how much money you are willing to spend as well as how much work you are willing to put into it. Cutting a hole in the drywall and safely securing your television may seem like too much work. So, it would be in your best interest to purchase a piece of furniture or pay someone else to do this work!

Another idea is hiding your plasma TV in plain sight. Many people choose to use their television like a piece of art and hang it above their fireplace. This is functional and looks perfectly at home in modern and contemporary homes.

The fact is that you will be spending a good amount of money on a plasma television. There is no reason to skimp on solutions for hiding that plasma TV. When in doubt, head to a custom furniture store and design your own solution for hiding your plasma TV. Then, you know you are getting exactly what you want!

So I signed up for the free month, figured I’d order a few things and then cancel. Well the membership paid for itself when I ordered a big piece of exercise equipment. I paid an additional $4 for next day service, figuring I’d get an email explaining I couldn’t do that. Nope, next day it showed up on my doorstep. Suddenly I was able to expect 2 day delivery for free. I find myself upgrading to next day service quite a bit, it’s just nice to have what I need exactly when I want it. A month goes by, I did some math and my shipping last year was already over what a prime membership costs- so I took the plunge. I’ve been happily ordering for months- if you regularly order from Amazon it’s worth your time to take a close look at Amazon Prime.

1. Contrast (deeper blacks) – The ability to completely turn off a pixel as opposed to blocking light allows for deeper blacks on plasma. This makes colors appear more vivid and lifelike.
2. Viewing Angle – LCD televisions look best from directly in front. The picture can degrade as you move to the side; plasma televisions have a wider viewing angle, and make a better choice when there are several members in the family who watch together.
3. Fast moving scenes don’t blur with the faster response time of plasma televisions, so if you’re a sports fan and don’t want to miss the details, plasma televisions are the best choice.
4. Some manufacturers offer zero bad pixel guarantees- read the fine print. If you shop carefully you can find a plasma TV with zero dead pixels.
5. Pixel response times are faster, and manufacturers have virtually eliminated phosphor lag (color remnant left by the varying decay time of the different chemical properties of the phosphor coating in plasma cells).
6. Color saturation – Plasma televisions can display millions of colors, and their finer controls on color saturation allows for a finer picture free from washout.
7. Price in larger units – Although they’re getting less expensive, large screen LCDs are still more expensive than plasma.
8. Bigger Screens – Finally, if you’re buying the truly large televisions, you have a better selection in plasma. For the biggest screens on the market, plasma is the only choice.

With a little careful analysis on your size requirements, viewing plans and budget, you can now confidently buy a plasma TV based on its strengths against LCD TV.

Designed to be friendly to more media as well, you can also use it with your PC, Xbox or PS3 and get great pictures and gaming response. Samsung also did something very interesting with the HPT5064- it comes with a USB 2.0 connector show pictures or play MP3s.

Tuners and Features

The set includes a standard-broadcast NTSC tuner, and ATSC tuner that can capture over-the-air digital broadcasts from local network affiliates. Two of the many decision points in the LCD vs Plasma TV debate are set life and burn in, where LCD traditionally had an advantage. The Samsung HPT5064 has a 60,000 hour panel life, and unlike that LCD you’ll never have to worry about replacing that backlight. Samsung’s approach to burn in is clever- they use a proprietary auto pixel-shifting technology, significantly reducing the risk.

However, as recently as 2005, 32-inch LCD TV demand was 5.8millions. What has driven this remarkable change is the growing consumer preference for secondary or private TVs for the home in the high-end market, and newly increasing demand for affordable flat panel TVs in emerging markets. As the smallest and slimmest plasma TV available, LG’s 32PC5RV will broaden the options for global customers. It is also an excellent choice for hotel rooms or retail settings where a small-size wall-mounted TV is preferred to maximize space. Full Press Release

A plasma pixel is made of a gas converted to its plasma state by an electrical charge. A video signal can cause them to glow any of three colors red, green or blue. Using just those three colors in varying ratios are all that is required for modern color TVs to push those amazing images. If you’d like a detailed explanation on the theory take a look here.
