Plasma LCD Comparision Chart
Goal: To provide a quick reference between Plasma and LCD displays, especially comparing the feature difference between models in the commercial LCD product line which has a lower priced commercial multimedia line(intended for AV applications) and an Information Display line(intented for Digital Signage applications). I used NEC as a reference.
