Personally I have never seen a plasma with good picture quality (sorry all
you plasma owners).

CRT TV is still the bench mark to beat for me.

Hi All,

Last week I was in Makro looking at a Samsung 37" plasma.

>From the back it was a beautiful set....

3 SCART (1 RGB/S-Video, 1 S-Video, 1 RGB)
2 sets of Component inputs
2 sets of Composite/S-Video Phono/Minidin inputs
VGA input
DVI input

... all in all, possibly every connection you would ever need (excluding
the
current thread on SKY HiDef)

>From the front, it looked nice. Mostly black with only a small amount
of
silver (I HATE SILVER!!!)

So far so good..... now the downside....

the picture was absolute C*** :-(

Admittedly the signal being displayed was only from the tuner but
irrespective of which channel was chosen it exhibited the same problem.
According the Samsungs website it has 16.7 million colours but peoples
faces
were mosaiced in the same was as when a photograph is viewed on a PC set to
256 colours.

Has anyone else seen the samsung plasmas anywhere.

It may be that this particular set had a fault, I cant believe that Samsung
would go the trouble of putting so much connectivity on the back when the
picture was so awful. The kind of person who would understand and make use
of those connections definately would not buy a set with such a poor
picture.

I had a quick fiddle with some of the settings but couldnt make any
noticable improvement.

Keith
