RE: Plasma pixels



Title: Message

The white level aka contrast is set way too high out of the box on all tellys I’ve ever seen, including plasmas, and that makes a huge difference.

We've just had some 42" Fujitsu's put up at work and on SKY thee is terrible crawling dots on the red part of the On Screen Logo.

 

Probably not helped by the fact that the signal is Composite but I couldnt sit and watch a picture like that :-(

Last time I looked at the Pioneer 50" it had horrendous problems with reds flaring!

Tim,

 

I agree.  The LG screen didn't seem like a plasma.  It looked more like a rear projector screen.  The Panasonic is truly amazing!  The contrast ratio is massive and colour reproduction is very true to life.  Is saw a Panasonic on demo with a DVD playing of a fish tank.  It looked real, almost 3D at times.

Seeing the LG pixel problem just got me thinking.

I've being considering the Pioneer 50".  With the way plasmas are dropping in price I'll probably wait a bit longer before I buy one.  I just need to choose the model so I can wire for it and make a housing for it.

The LG is horrible – buy a Panasonic from ivojo – no dead pixels and in a different class.

Subject: [ukha_d] Plasma pixels

 

I'm planning on buying a plasma screen in the near future.  The other day I was looking at a LG plasma screen in Currys and noticed that three of the pixels weren't working.  It was very distracting to watch the screen - and would be extremely upsetting if it was a set that you'd just bought.  The tag on the screen stated that it was guaranteed for 99.99% pixel operation.  Now to the layperson 99.99% might seem just about perfect, but if the screen has 852x480x3 pixels and has 0.01% defective pixels then that's over 120 pixels not working - which would be impossible to watch yet within the manufacturers spec.

 

Does anyone know which manufacturer of plasma tubes has the most reliable manufacturing method/service life?  Or has anyone have experience of this?

 

I think that even 1 defective pixel would be too distracting for me.

 

Thanks

 

Simon
