The Best of Both Phone, and Tablet
Best plasma TVs
(Updated May 24, 2012 6:11 AM PDT) 
The first kind of flat-panel TV to hit the market more than 10 years ago, plasma displays have come a long way since then. They're much more durable now, and the burn-in bugaboo is pretty much a thing of the past. Plasma TVs are not generally available in sizes less than 42 inches, and their picture quality in the best models still outperforms the best LCD picture quality--although the gap is closing. However, plasmas are much less efficient than LCD TVs. Check out our plasma versus LCD comparison for more information.
