In Reply to: RE: "Should I wait for better technology?" No, the better technology passed. CRT posted by GTF on February 03, 2008 at 20:19:39
Except for some obvious differences, plasma is closer to CRT that any other display technology (SED isn't going to make it to market). In my opinion, the better plasmas made today are equal to CRT (in the good things that CRT is known for, there are plenty bad ones as well). By Q3/Q4, the better plasmas will surpass anything CRT was best at and by Q3/Q4 09, there will be no contender for picture quality compared to plasma -- except for possibly OLED.
Follow Ups:
We'll see. We have been promised a lot of good things for TV.
So far I haven't seen anything here yet.
I do hope your (excuse me. they) are right.
I don't like rainbows.
I can't stand all the focus shifts.
Pioneer extreme contrast concept
Pictures literally emerge from nowhere (there is no display glow like every other display technology exhibits, even the best calibrated CRT). The demo at CES floored everyone who got to see it: no one even knew there was another display in the room, a room that was virtually pitch black. Panasonic and Hitachi also will have this technology available to them (10 lumen tech), because they collaborated with Pioneer to "invent" it.
As nice as today's Kuros are, Pioneer's next gen models (not the 10 lumen tech models) will better their black levels by about 80%.
