In Reply to: calibrated displays? posted by Joe Murphy Jr on May 9, 2005 at 23:42:05:
well it could be that but of course that would mean that everyone selling 50s vs 43s plasmas anyway is trying to sell more 43s which would have a lower margin (otherwise tweak down the 43 and tweak up the 50). and the 43s plasma vs 45 lcd at more than twice the price for the lcd would also lose out and sell more...43 plasmas. it helps to sell the lower priced plasma if anything which would be counter intuitive to the pump the higher margin product.it is consistent across shops and there are tons and tons of shops. so i would think it would average out if they were approximately the same brightness. so brings me back to initial query, why are the 43s soooooo much brighter looking that the 50s? if what i am seeing is a 12% difference, i would hate to see more!

If you like the bright displays--that's what you should get! You won't be happy if you get a display that meets the criteria of a couple of Bozos posting nonsense on the internet......the most important thing to consider when buying a display is:
will the people who come over to your place to see it be impressed?
will they think you are a way-cool dude with flash, style, panache...
or will they think you are a loser--a bonehead who got ripped because your display is "not bright enough"...
...look, people like "not bright enough"...most people are "not bright"...
think about it...why do you care what we think?
The professional video reviewers tell us:
You probably have never seen a propery calibrated high-end video display--certainly not in any mass-market retailer, and most likely not even in the most finiky high-end, up-market botique.Displays are all shipped "hot" from the factory. Side by side comparisons are virtually useless.
YOu need to read the professional reviews--and the reviewer should spend much time telling you what reference source he used to calibrate the display, and how much it was "off" and what adjustments he made.
When you do make your choice (plasma is the hands-down winner--the only reason to even look at LCD is if you are going to use it with your computer), call a professional tuner and spend a few hundred to make sure your set is properly tuned. You don't get what you paid for unless you pay for the professional tuning.
