Re: i don't trust plasma

i don't trust flat screens. nearly EVERY manufacturer has a leeway of half a dozen or so pixels either being dead or stuck without a unit being considered defective. as far as i'm concerned, just one bad pixel is unforgiveable. CRTs don't have bad pixels. my 20 year old sharp is still working just fine.

aside from the pixel issue, how many times have you walked into a store with widescreen sets and seen one or more sets turned off? to me that's a warning sign that about 1:10 units will go bad inside a year or two. i don't think i've ever walked into a store that had 10 or more big screen sets and not seen one turned off.

when i do upgrade, i'll be going with a 34" direct view, unless they eventually start making larger. aside from the reliability, you can't beat CRT contrast and the sharpness spanks projection.

considering that plasma manufacturers aren't required to give you 100% of your pixels new and that so many display sets appear broken, i just don't trust plasma or LCD.
