Hello folks. I'm typically an LCD person, but I'm venturing outside of the LCD cave to learn more about what's out there.
I recently visited a local high-end store and was very impressed with the 151FD and 111FD Kuros. What really caught my eye aside from the black levels is the sharpness of these displays. It almost seems like it's double or quadruple the resolution of LCDs. Does this apply to all plasmas? What allows plasma or the Kuro to exhibit such a sharp image? I've even witnessed this on a 5020FD at BB with split component source going to dozens of other TVs.
And one more question. I immediately notice the strobing/flickering of plasma on low end displays. However, the Kuros don't seem to suffer from it as much. Is this a Pioneer trade secret? Does it flicker at a faster rate? Do you think plasma will ever be improved enough to show a solid image without this flickering?
Aside from babying/careful pattern of use, and flickering, plasma seems like the perfect medium for movie watching.
Thanks for your time.
