  A lot of us don't like to have to re-create movie theatre conditions just to watch Sports Center or an afternoon ballgame. My apartment gets pretty good light in the daytime, which is why we bought it. But the LCD I had simply disappeared during the day. With the plasma that replaced it, I can watch any time without sealing the windows with tinfoil. I can even watch with a light or two on in the room so my wife can read if she isn't interested in the program. I'm sure my room's PQ doesn't match that of a dungeon, but it is definitely much, much better with the plasma. I am impressed, however, with your TV-watching skill.

    ......I guess it all depends on what lifestyle you are used to.

    I have always used multi-layered curtains on windows. They are excellent for “blacking out “a room in a matter of seconds and have very good insulation properties along with good acoustic value. We have floor to ceiling windows all around the house and living in a warm climate dictates having decent curtains.

    Taking a few moments to draw curtains so as I can thoroughly enjoy my viewing experience is something I have never found to be an overly onerous task.

    I guess it all comes down to how one chooses to have their house set out. I like my luxury too much to have to worry with screen reflections.

  and every DLP. The picture may not be as sharp, but when it come to colors, CRT is still the best. I have spent four full days viewing Samsung DLPs, Sharp LCDs (I bought one!!) and Vizio, Philips LCD and plasma, and Mitsubishi DLP, my Panny beats them all hands down. Especially when flesh tones are done correctly, the other colors in the picture have the right amount of intensity. Th LCDs do one thing better, the screen does not reflect the ambient light; plasma did. So I went for a Sharp 37" LCD for the bedroom.

    .........So you like “true” colour but don’t mind if the picture isn’t sharp? Each to their own I guess.

    I have yet to see a better picture, to my eyes at least, than on my 55” Fujitsu Plasma. (Clarification – I have seen the new 50” Pioneer 1920X 1080 plasma screen and the picture was excellent. I only had a cursory glace as I had my two kids with me BUT it maybe the new standard for 50”)

    “Most” screens in shops I have seen are woefully set-up. Maybe you have never seen a properly calibrated plasma screen? I can’t fault the skin tones on mine?

    I have a 34” Panasonic CRT widescreen and it has an excellent picture BUT it is not 55” big!

    In the near future I plan on getting a larger plasma panel (65”) and the Panasonic commercial model 1920 X 1080 is thus far in front .

    For a fraction of the cost I could buy a RPTV but I just don’t think the picture is anywhere near as good. I have NEVER had a problem with light reflections on my plasma screens – but I , or anyone in my family, watch a screen in a bright room – apparently many people do?

      I suppose some people are very critical about color accuracy. We've been living for several weeks with a Panasonic TH42PH9UK, and just a couple days ago I read that their biggest weakness is green accuracy. That was news to me, and even though I've watched a couple movies since then I neglected to pay attention to the greens. Can't be anything drastic. My eyes must adjust to this kind of stuff.

        .......… I suppose they are.

        People are just “different”. We all have different eyes, perception, colour view and tastes. It is why we have different views on what screen has the “best” picture.

        The screen you have is an excellent screen & if YOU like it and reap enjoyment from it then who gives a toss what anyone else thinks?
