RE: [OT] Samsung Plasma

Phew ......

Thought I was stepping into unknown territory there .. Glad I am not the
only one!

My cousin just got a Sony RP you have to sit at the right height and angle
to get a decent bright picture. But it is a 42" monster.

I guess with CRT you are limited to the size you can get.

But I am sure either Plasma, LCD or LED will one day exceed the quality of
CRT. Or will it just become one of those second rate goods that become the
norm because of size and convenience? Much like Vinyl vs CD, Betamax vs
VHS?
I hope not!

Me neither.

I was really shocked by the quality of a DLP rear projection set in John
Lewis yesterday. Sagem I think. It still suffered slightly from the
problem of poor brightness off the vertical axis (ie if you stand in
front too close it looks dim), but nowhere near as badly as previous RP
sets I've looked at.

Comparing it to the array of plasmas they had there, it was far far better.

Some of the LCD TVs aren't looking too bad now, but still not good
enough for the money they're charging. Perhaps next year's crop of new
LCD sets might be better...
