RE: Congrats! Get it while you can. Samsung is shutting down the production next month

Hey, I'm a Kuro man! You're preaching to the hellbound.

I said cheap plasma vs good LCD, not cheap vs cheap. You know what I mean. I was being polite to the LCD-likers, god help them. I have some LCDs too, but not for "serious" viewing.

My Pio calibrated at 30 ft-L burns my eyes out with a BD bright scene in a dark room, lights the whole room up. I have another ISF cal at 50 and it's way too bright, was intended for daytime viewing but I've never watched then in >5 years. Most people are 1) not used to a calibrated picture and 2) have no idea what it should look like to start with. Dimmer, but not dim per se, is way easier on the eyes.

There is zero deterioration with plasma viewing angle here: if you can see the screen, even if lying right under the screen or standing to the side of it, it still looks right (what you can see of it). Not even remotely true for any LCD.
