Plasma TVs
Screen of a plasma television is made up of millions of colored gas filled cells. When electricity passes through the cells that light up and produce an image.

Plasma TVs are also a bit 'better when it comes to viewing angle - how you can sit next to a television screen before the picture quality is concerned.
Screen Life
The life of the screen is the number of hours a television provides before the picture begins to fade. Plasma TVs have a screen life of about 30,000 to 60,00 hours, depending on the make and model, while LCD televisions have a screen life of 60,000 hours or more.
Plasma TVs are also subject to "burn" This happens when a TV displays an image still long enough for a ghost image to burn into the screen. LCD TVs do not have this problem.
