In Reply to: Here's What Movies Look Like On A PLASMA - SCREEN SHOTS !!! posted by Rich H on April 18, 2003 at 21:42:25:
They look pretty good. Mind I am using a year old NEC led screen. What do blacks look like? When I use my computer for DVDs, I find that it looks great, except on movies like Dark City/Addams Family etc. Black levels are tough for LCD screens. I wonder if it is an issue with Plasma?
Follow Ups:
Estes,Black levels on the Panasonic-based plasmas (that includes other brands using the Panasonic manufactured glass) have excellent black levels...neck in neck with CRT blacks. Mine is a Panasonic and you can probably see from the screen shots that there is a very nice, wide range of contrast with deep blacks.

Hi Rich: Yes blacks do look nice on your set. I guess what I am referring to is that on "dark" movies, most TVs lose all the details and everything is a blob of darkness with only the actors faces viewable. It happens on my LCD screen, but less so on my direct view TV.I was wondering what you thought of the LCD tvs that Sharp is marketing. They have a 36" model out now and I would be tempted. Also it is less expensive than Plasmas!
...and contrast, not black levels.I've seen the Sharps (pretty fair, pretty pricey per square inch, motion artifacts), as well as the Sony Grand Wega IIIs RP LCDs (nice, only fair shadow detail), and the Panasonic LCD RPs (very blue/grey blacks before calibration) and I'd have to say the current Rich'e 42" ED Panasonic plasma would be my preference: better blacks, as good or better shadow detail, more natural movement, higher contrast.
EED plasmas this size are not that expensive, BTW... you can find this panel online fro about $3700 delivered. I would take it over any comparably sized LCD. $2900 gets you a 42" Akai from Costco. I wouldn't want anything under 42", persoanlly.
Yes, that's it. Since I am in Canada, getting a decent Plasma is still big bucks, becuase the dollar is weaker than the US and more limited distribution. Getting something across the border is hit & miss as UPS charges large "broker" fees!
