In Reply to: Here's What Movies Look Like On A PLASMA - SCREEN SHOTS !!! posted by Rich H on April 18, 2003 at 21:47:17:
My wife, young daughter (2-3/4) and I visited the Torrey Pines State Park interpretative center in San Diego. In one of the rooms, they'd installed a 42" Sony plasma with a Sony DVD player, Onkyo receiver and Polk 5.1 surround sound system. The surround sound was mediocre, but the stunning scenery in the short 10-minute film on the park (digitally photographed and edited) looked absolutely marvelous. I have an ISF-calibrated Panasonic 47WX49 widescreen RPTV at home and I walked away a little jealous. I too, had heard mediocre things about plasma screens but came away extremely impressed with the current SOTA.

That's cool Dalancroft. Just a note: the Sony actually isn't one of the better plasmas out there...Sony has been generally behind the ball in plasma development (they guessed wrong about plasma and have been putting money into other competitive technologies). Anyway, the Sony doesn't have the black levels of other better plasmas, such as the Panasonic brand. If you ever have the chance, check out the Panasonic 42" and 50" models, and especially the Fujitsu 50" model. Verrry nice displays.Rich H.
Wifey was PO'd enough that I'd spent 1900 bucks on the RPTV. Not gonna get tempted into another purchase.Actually, I've worked hard on speaker placement, lighting (professional quality 6500K backlight), seating, etc. and am very pleased with my ISF-calibrated (yes, Gregg Loewen) Panny.
But those flat screens are just so damn cool!
Cool. Hey, I wondered about those 6500K back lights. What do you think, does it enhance the picture quality of your display? I've tried some meager experiments, but have found each time I'm distracted by any lighting other than the screen itself (i.e. I like the movie theater look).Thanks,
Rich H.
BTW, Gregg ISF'd my plasma too!
