Abe,

Too bad about that buzzing condition...time to move :-)
You're probably aware that LCDs still have trouble with motion and black level (?), although they are getting better...but for now I'd put money on your CRT for the better overall picture.

"with all due respect, we're not looking at your plasma screen..."

Yes, there are obvious caveats involved. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen a screen shot that does justice to the original display. But I did my best to overcome the "screen shot curse."

What amazed me is how much of the image quality the screen shots captured, in terms of smoothness of detail, dimensionality, range of contrast, and over-all realism. When I watch the plasma it's sometimes seems as clear-as-life; like I'm watching a real person on the other side of the plasma frame. My digital camera seemed to capture that effect to a degree; some of the screen shots strike me as looking more like I photographed the actual actor, vs an image on TV. Try that on an RPTV! :-0

And that is really the point: whether or not on your computer monitor you're seeing exactly the colors I see on the Plasma, it should be apparent the Plasma image had to be quite life-like to begin with.

(I've viewed the screen shots on about six different monitors at friend's houses, and as long as the monitor's brightness and contrast wasn't really out of wacky, the image quality was quite consistent).

Thanks for you comments...I hope there's a nice upgrade from your overweight CRT soon :-) (Although I'd guess have an excellent display).
