In Reply to: Why is Plasma better??? posted by ICI on May 20, 2002 at 15:31:56:
I've also been looking into plasmas. Overall, I think they offer the best picture. But, the models I like, like the 50" top of the line Fujitsu or the Pioneer Elite are very expensive. Even with these models, I find some problems with the image. First, I think the black level is adequate, a far cry from the earliest plasmas. But, in order to get that deep black and avoid a washed out look, it appears to me that a lot of shaddow detail is lost. Images in the darker part of a picture are turned to black. This is particularly noticeable on the Pioneer Elite. While I like the density of the images, vs. the almost ghostly quality of RPTV, sometimes the image has an odd, unnatural texture.Someone below mentioned the Sony Wega LCD RPTV. I liked the detail of that image, but the black level and low contrast image makes the set totally unacceptable for any low light images where everything appears to be awash in a light mist.
At a dealership with a small room, I notice that the plasma put out a lot of heat. Does anyone know if it puts out more or less heat than a comparable RPTV or a LCD front or rear projection set? My other concern with plasma sets is image burn-in since I watch a lot of 4:3 programming and I hate stretched images. If an RPTV suffers burn-in, the replacement of the CRTs would be expensive, but far less than the complete replacement of a plasma set.
