Let's have a owner's survey. Let's hear about your Plasma's. Make, Model and score it from 1 "Bad PQ" to 5 "Assume Picture Quality or better know as PQ" also would you recommend your Plasma? Yes or No.


Make: Pioneer

Model: PDP-502MX

PQ: 3 1/2

Recommend: Yes

Ok, I'll play along-


Make: 50" Panasonic

Model: TH-50PHD3U

PQ: 4.85 (After Calibration picture is closet to 35mm film compared to others).

Recommend: No- not this model- no DVI, has fans, no upgradeability path.

Picture wise- YES

[R Harkness]

Make: Panasonicd

Model: 4UY (42" model)

PQ: hmmm, darned subjective. Compared to other 42" screens: 5/5 (overall PQ 4/5 I guess).

Recommend: Yes, absolutely.

Make: Pioneer

Model: 433HD (43" model)

PQ: A bit grayish blacks, better with properly set lighting. Colors are better than my previous Barco 808s CRT projector. 4,5/5

Recommend: If you want a "total" solution where tuner and all inputs are included, this is it. Nice design. No fans (I consider that very important when watching normal TV), XGA - but no orbiter mode (!), too expensive.

Make: Panasonic

Model: 4UY (42" model)

PQ: 4

Recommend: Yes


I've noticed my blacks aren't quite what they once were after replacing my 2000HD cable box with a 3100HD. I think a calibration would help. Good value for the money. --Karl

This thread is a good idea. Breaking down PQ by source would also be helpful. Keep 'em coming!

Make: Pioneer

Model: Pro1000 with DVI

PQ: DirecTV HD-Net- 5

DVD 480p-- 5

DirecTV regular- 4


Recommended- YES!


my display is ISF calibrated and I am very pleased with it- I now prefer to run sources direct (switched through MC-12) rather than through a processor

Are you also pleased with the black levels? Are you using ambient lighting with the unit? How is it in total darkness?


Thanks,
