Plasma televisions offer the advantage of lighter weight and a more space saving design (www.tvauthority.com). These televisions can be table top mounted or wall mounted. They have an approximate half life (The time it takes for the brightness to reduce to half of the original specification) of about 10 years with average use. They offer HD capability and multiple input connection types (usually both analog and digital). An advantage to this type of television is a better image quality through higher picture resolution. These televisions also have a problem with screen burn-in. Through advancements in technologies to prevent this, they have increased this time limit considerably over what it used to be. Static image burn-in now takes hours to occur (www.plasmatvbuyingguide.com).
