An interesting factor to consider when planning your purchase of a new plasma television is altitude. Plasma TVs use millions of tiny, full of gas chambers to create an image. When you move to higher altitudes, the constant pressure in the chambers and the air pressure lower now create an environment that resembles a buzz signal beer halogen. This buzz is a combined result of increased consumption of energy required to overcome the pressure difference, and increased use of the ventilator because the consumption of high energy heats the unit. This change in noise is really the only difference between a plasma television operating level sea and an operation of extreme (above 6,000 feet) altitude.
This noise increase provides a hint as to the most serious reason to avoid using a plasma television: time. The life of a plasma screen is dependent on how hard it works through the course of your life. Operation of these televisions at altitudes above they were designed to put additional pressure on its various components. Using a plasma TV above 6,000 ft. is more likely to be bothered by the noise further than anything else, but it is a bad choice in the long term.
This pressure change is why airplanes have chosen to use LCD screens more plasma screens on flights that offer video entertainment. LCDs use crystals instead of gas filled chambers, and are therefore indifferent to changes altitude. That said, there are manufacturers who designed plasma televisions for use at altitudes up to 9,000 ft. You'll pay for this upgrade project, so you must decide if the price difference is worth it. So, check the elevation information for your city to determine whether it should concern you, because it is not always obvious.
Denver is just below the window of 6,000 feet of operating a plasma screen normal. You can see a small difference the life of the unit here when compared to an identical television located close to sea level, but this is probably very small. If you do not sure what your local elevation is, or if you are close, but still below the recommended 6,000 feet, do some research first hand. Go an electronics store and test the various plasma TVs on display. Listen closely for a hum or buzz. You may find that your local atmospheric pressure is low enough to affect the performance of a unit of plasma.
So you did your research and planning, and you're ready to buy your TV Plasma? Now make sure you check your local conditions and, if necessary, invest in a unit of plasma high altitude.
