In Reply to: If you're our shopping for LCD, DLP, Plasma... posted by default on May 5, 2005 at 20:54:46:
Don't equate your Gateway problems with plasmas in general. That was one of the cheapest first generation plasmas on the market. Like anything else, there are cheap junk products in any category and Gateway is known to sell cheap junk.Although all of the technologies are improving, I still lean toward DLP and plasma for large screens today.
I believe that direct view LCD technology will eventually over take plasma in performance and price but it's not there yet. It's still more expensive and doesn't look as good. When it crosses over to the point where it looks better and is priced about the same or less, I'll jump on it.
Follow Ups:
Not looking to bash plasma, the flames are pointed at Gateway.However, in the price range of the Sony RP-LCD any plasma we found would still be have the "burn-in" issue.
I must admit though we are also disappointed at the Bic lighter engineering of our plasma. When it expires due to dimming, throw it away as repair costs will not be warranted. We enjoy the fact the Sony RP-LCD has a user replaceable bulb.
And, it may be different with outher manufactures, but the Gateway plasma runs VERY HOT! I'm surprised they don't have boxer fans inside them.
These are just personal decision points I wanted to share with others searching for their own answers of what and why to buy.
BTW, all of the new technologies and big screens can benefit from line conditioning. I run the Richard Grays, and an older model of the Vans Evers (he quit the consumer market). There is significant improvement in the picture quality in terms of color staturation, detail, and a lowering of motion artifacts. The better sets do seem to have better power supplies but all flat screen technologies seem to suffer from the compact nature of the screens.
Come to think of it my PLC's cost almost as much as the screen itself.....8^)

Are you sure he quit the consumer market?.. because he has a website up where he is still selling quite a few products.www.vansevers.com
