Best New Plasma TV 2012 - Latest HDTV Reviews

Did you know that despite their low price (when compared to LCD or LED TVs of the same size) that plasma tvs offer many advantages over LCD and LED TVs?

The most glaring advantage that a Plasma TV has is in the blacks that it can produce. If you've ever owned a LCD/LED TV than you've probably seen at times in the dark during a movie when it's more of a gray color than a black. This is because a Plasma TV can turn off a pixel to produce a pure black rather than what LCD/LED TVs do (block the light). Other than this huge advantage Plasma TVs also allow for wider viewing angles and less of a blur with action scenes or sports.

LG 60PK550 60-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV

One of the top selling Plasma TVs this year is also the largest. This is because the LG 60PK550 is perfect for sports and action movies boasting amazing full 1080p (1920x1080) with the best refresh rate out there (600hz). With a 3,000,000:1 Dynamic contrast ratio and an Intelligent sensor technology which automatically adjusts to your home's lighting you'll get a brilliant picture that only Plasma can provide.

Panasonic VIERA TC-P42G25

Another top rated Plasma TV is the Panasonic Viera. The Panasonic Viera comes with cast functionality which allows you to easily stream videos from the internet in full high definition. If you use Panasonic's communication camera you can even do wireless video conferencing (through Skype).

The Viera also comes with Viera Image viewer which allows you to view full high definition photos (through an integrated SD slot). Like the LG 60PK550 the Viera comes with 600hz technology for even more superb clarity for action motions.

Inputs: 3 HDMI, 2 component, 2 composite, 1 Ethernet, 1 PC, 2 USB, and 1 digital audio output.

Budget Plasma TVs

Samsung PN42C450 and LG42Pj350

If you are looking for a secondary TV or are just on a budget, then consider purchasing a 720p Plasma HDTV. This is a really good saving option for those who plan to use their Plasma TV to watch television. Since cable and satellite programming is broadcast in 720p anyway you shouldn't notice the difference in anything except for the price that you pay.

Wall Mounts

Now that you've picked out your new Plasma TV make sure you get a wall mount. Wall mounts are as much as 75% cheaper when you purchase them online. If you've enjoyed this hub on the best plasma TVs of 2012, then consider visiting my hub on 32-55 Inch Wall Mounts.
