In Reply to: For Joe and anybody else who disputes that plasmas have a reduced grayscale... posted by C.B. on December 29, 2004 at 10:45:53:
further on in the article, Mr Putman says that there is one brand of plasma (Panasonic) whose black level and grayscale, when calibrated, approach that of a good CRT display (i.e., Mr Putnam's reference Princton CRT). I can't say that I've ever seen that brand, so perhaps there is indeed one plasma out there worthy of consideration.However, I'm still not convinced that plasma is as good a value as my Sony KP-57WS510, which I purchased a year ago for less than two grand delivered.
Follow Ups:
First, Putman is correct that the Panasonic glass does, indeed, have contrast superior to other plasma glass and, in fact, the 50" Fujitsu I have uses said Panasonic glass with superior signal processing. Performance is excellent.Second, there's no way to accommodate such a large-screen display in my room unless it is flat (plasma or LCD) or front projection. RPTVs and direct-view CRTs take up too much space and prevent me from arranging my speakers correctly.
