As more and more businesses are starting to realize the effectiveness and benefits of LCD displays as digital signage solution, the number of advertising companies offering LCD digital signage systems also increases.
In the recent years, there has been a debate in the industry of digital signage about which display option is better for businesses and public information services—LCD displays or plasma displays. There are many factors that can be considered in determining which option is better such as the cost and performance for a digital signage display. When it comes to performance, many users have been complaining about burn in issues in plasma displays. Burn in is the term used to describe the static images that become permanently visible in the screen after being displayed for a long period of time. Depending on the user, burn in issues can either be a serious problem or just a minor issue that can be remedied easily. Burn in is not an issue in LCD screens. For this reason, many businesses use LCD displays as they digital signage display. However, with the continuous improvements being done in the plasma technology to resolve burn in issues, plasma displays are now quickly gaining significant share in the digital signage market.
A few years back, the main deciding factor between plasma displays and LCDs has always been the cost. But since the cost of large format LCD displays is now dropping, cost is becoming less of an issue in choosing the right digital signage display.
