Re: Why is Plasma better???

138.89.86.218

Like many, when I set out to build a home theater, I thought plasma would be the way to go. I wanted a screen larger than any CRT could provide, and I have never enjoyed watching rear projection sets.

However, after many auditions, I concluded that the picture was just not crisp enough with DVDs (and with a cable or non-HD satellite feed was just unwatchable). Now, the above poster has me thinking that maybe the shops where I saw them simply did not have them set up properly.

HiDef on plasma provided the finest picture I have ever seen. For me (and probably most people) HD accounts for only a small percentage of viewing time, so that aspect of the plasma experience did not justify purchasing one. I could live with plasma looking lousy with cable or non-HD satellite feeds (I would just watch that stuff in another room on a CRT), but needed better performance with DVD for the theater.

Do those of you who love your plasma sets really find that in DVD scenes with movement across the screen, the edges don't get jagged and blurred (my biggest gripe)???
