Re: That sexy, sexy, sexy plasma...

Plasma's have several problems, not least in the colour rendition and the contrast level, they also have a tendency to smear as the plasma glows for longer than the phospor on a tubed set. The top of the range Sony 36" widescreen, (not sure of the model number in the states) is the best set I have ever seen. Yes sure you can sometimes see artifacts, but that is usually down to the poor source material, or the terible set ups that the shops have for showing sets.

In a dealer they can have upwards of thirty sets running off distribution amps! I have also seen dealers demonstrate DVD using single video in leads, not even the s sockets or the RGB that a lot of the top models have.

Plasmas are sexy, but not the match of a really good CRT. Sony's line doubling feature used with a RGB input from a DVD is about as good as the technology gets at the moment. Two years time? Who knows!
