In Reply to: Budget Plasma EDTV vs higher-end DLP HDTV? posted by AbeCollins on February 22, 2005 at 15:20:09:
Well as you know, you and i have similar components. In October i bought the commercial model of the panny ED plasma TH-42PWD6UY. I use the 5900 for video, and my HR10-250 HD DirecTivo for OTA and Sat SD/HD signals.I had Gregg Loewen come out to my house last week to calibrate my panny (he did my previous CRT about 2 years ago). After a very short time of service menu calibration using some Milori colorimeter.... the set was done (only some minor blue-push). Gregg said that the image on my system was about the best he has seen...
One caveate is that i am using a DVD0 iScan HD scaler with the 5900 (and VCR) because the combination of the 5900 and the pannies produce some noticeable macroblocking issues (due to the 5900 built-in de-interlacer) So, i send component 480i to the scaler and then DVI-D to the panny....
I can tell you that i am *VERY* happy with the results. The image on the panny is nothing short of stunning.... it even looks great with a SD signal from DirecTV... The HD stuff is unreal on this EDTV.
BTW, i just recently got some Spendor S5E speakers and the are really nice with the 5900, 3805, HCA-2 combo... I'm actually done tweaking for a while!
