looking at plasma in particular, fixed pixel devices in general, I see a lot of what used to be called "solarization".
Blotchy skin tones everywhere. Like the bedroom scene in the beginning of "HOLLOW MAN"
chapter 11 of FINDING NEMO has good examples. The angler fish "lamp" has concentric rings of light instead of a continuous fade. This not a back level problem.
Seconds later the effect is seen on the safety green strap of the goggles. As the angler moves around the light intensity changes and the strap show clear steps in shading. Close up of the strap looks really blotchy.
The Korean LCDs look the worst. The Fujitsu and Loewe plasmas look bad.
A paired Faroudja DVD and DLP projector shows none of the effect nor does a Madrigal MP-9 driven by a Runco scalar and Lexicon DVD. I use a HTPC and a Marquee 8000 at home and have never seen it there.
Having moved several DVD players around, the DVD player is not the culprit. We also tried S-video and 480i and 480p component.
Admittedly the Runco 4404? scalar is about $20,000 and the merits of the HTPC are well known.
Is the eye so sensitive to suble color shades that most processing technology is visible?
