...are always great reads. I can't believe I read that whole thread, even though I don't own a plasma...yet. I especially appreciated your comments about directors' intent. (Gee, how many times have I complained to theater managers about old bulbs???)I'm not sure how effective ISF calibration is for plasmas anyway, since they are a unique technology. I would absolutely have any CRT RP ISF'd, however.
I VE'd my 34" direct view HDTV, but I still fine tuned it by eye, and use different settings according to input...SD cable varies widely from channel to channel. I was surprised how good the grey scale and color were on my Phillips right out of the box.

Thanks Harmonia.I agree, I'd have an RPTV ISF calibrated for sure. It's been said numerous times by calibrators that what often makes the biggest impression are those things not necessarily confined to dialing the picture to NTSC standards. The add-ons, like taking of RPTV anti-glare screens, cleaning, focusing of guns, reduction of over-scan etc tend to induce the WOW reaction. So RPTVs and Projectors have quite a bit more to tweak in that regard.

What do you mean "yet"? Aren't those new Panasonics tempting you? Calling you? Begging to be "taken" by you?I will pull the trigger in less than 2 months. The bullet's loaded as we speak, only it's trying to decide on the TH42PA20U or the TH42PWD6UY. Oh, these decisions...
'Course, I think in the future we will see more media-box bundles. One outboard box (for the inputs, A/D conversion, scaling, etc) and a digital interface (DVI) to the plasma. That's the real ticket.
