With modern plasma or LCD TVs do you still want video shielded speakers?



Answers:    Not really. Plasma and LCD displays do not use magnet fields to create the images similar to CRT displays, therefore the magnetic pasture from the speakers will not distort the image and the shielding is unnecessary.
no.

traditional crt (tube) sets use a system of electromagnets to align the electron beams into their corresponding holes or slots surrounded by the shadowmask (this is the metal sheet immediately behind the phosphor coating you watch) next to each hole assigned to a pixel-the small red/green/blue dots on your screen.

the figure produced in plasma sets is produced by the excitement of noble gasses within each "cell" when a current of varying degrees is applied to it it alters the colour spectrum.

LCD sets use a backlight to illuminate the screen-when voltage is applied to the "cells" they can be any "on" or "off" again varying the amount of light admitted to the viewing eyeshade this alters the colour spectrum and so produces an image.

as neither plasma nor LCD technology rely on magnets to produce an image it would be not detrimental to place your speakers next to the set.

in reality in any home cinema set-up involving plasma/LCD the manufacturers of home cinema recievers advocate the three speakers (front right/front left and centre speaker) are placed around the set.
