My plasma days are coming to an end :( - Page 3

In the space of three years, I've transitioned from an HD RPTV to a (used) Pioneer Plasma, and then to a Passive 3-D LED. They all had their place and time, but the Passive 3-D display is what's happenin' now. Especially in a brighter room.

And frankly, if I watched stuff in a batcave these days, I would eschew plasma in favor of Projection 3-D. Yes -- it's here, it works, it's bright, it's affordable.....

LCDs are pretty great at maintaining high brightness in bright rooms and rejecting certain kinds of ambient really well. Newer plasmas do pretty well with ambient however. They fall short in absolute brightness. But in raw reflectivity, I don't believe there is any display on the market worse than current Samsung LCDs, which are very closely akin to mirrors.

As far as not being a good judge of PQ, You , Sir, are dead wrong.

That is pretty much the same as what you posted earlier in this thread:

Yes you are. Pretty much all of your posts here and over at HDJ as well as HDF are anti-Panasonic. Your post history makes that pretty clear.



Then why do you keep insisting that the 2012s don't look any better than the 2011s when everyone else knows that they do? More proof that you're only on these forums to bash Panasonic.
