In Reply to: Here's What Movies Look Like On A PLASMA - SCREEN SHOTS !!! posted by Rich H on April 18, 2003 at 21:42:25:
I have nothing against how great plasma screens look but I just can't deal with the constant buzzing noise they make at high altitude. I live in Colorado. I'm waiting for LCD's to come down in price while I "suffer" with my overweight CRT!BTW, nice shots of your plasma screen but.... with all due respect, we're not looking at your plasma screen. We're seeing a picture of your plasma screen taken by a digital camera, rendered by our internet browser, displayed on our computer monitors. It's kind of like saying to someone, "hey, listen to how great my stereo sounds" while you hold the telephone handset up to your speakers.

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).

There's a little tear drop rolling down my cheek as I read your description of your plasma display. I've seen some of the Panasonic plasmas at the local electronics superstore (and in a local museum showing off some Hi-Def National Geographic footage). Truly amazing picture! But since plasma screens are filled with gas, and the altitude is much higher here, that gas pressure isn't right for my geography and the screens buzz. Oh well, maybe they'll develop a pressure valve and spare gas cansisters for future models. ;-)
