A thing of beauty

P.S. I meant the display, not the Korean lady ... although she is equally enchanting ...


Ok, here are the brief specs:

resolution - 1920x1080

CR 1000:1

Brightness: 600

Response - less than 8 ms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now tell me she is not a cutie

Just to make everyone feel good I will play a Devil's advocate role tonight


So here's another display that will definitely catch your breath:


resolution 1920x1080

CR 2000:1

brightness 1000

.... and yes, she is a plasma

It's all about ambient light and viewing angles for the ultra jumbo plasma.


It's a special-purpose item right now, due to what will likely be an astronomical cost.


As for the jumbo LCD, it'll also be very pricey -- at least initially.


I saw both at CES and neither prototype looked very close to production.


I wonder if Samsung's plan isn't to have plasmas at 42, 50 and 63 and actually have LCDs "in between" at 46 and 57. I had originally thought that 57 made no sense. But in the context of their plasmas it almost does.
