My issue has never been with Panny's "relative" blacks. - Harmonia 22:06:24 03/05/08 (0)
It's the black crush/lack of shadow detail that's been my issue. Until Kuro, Panny had by far the best blacks. Especially at their price point, especially on brightly lit/outdoor source material. I've almost bought a Panny plasma at least twice. But there's been a price to pay for those relatively deep blacks.

It tends to burn out the whites and crush shadow detail in dark scenes. Panny's better than a lot of the competition but the Kuros beat them rather handily for shadow detail. I would imagine the new models improve upon this. And of course, they'll have their own 10 lumen tech coming out too.

As noted above, I use dark scenes from torture tests like Master & Commander, LOTR and Dark City to audition with. Not many flat screens can do that well. I'd be happy to own a TOPL Panny, but I'd be happier to own a TOPL Pioneer...at least for right now. The target's always moving and I look forward to Panny's new models.
