„Why do they need plasma TV's? I was at a bar tonight (hence the typos) and they had two plasma TV's. What is the deal? Why does every bar in Boston feel the need to cover their walls in plasma?“

„For those not acquainted with the term "HDTV-ready" (or the equivalent term "HDTV monitor"), it means the TV can display HDTV content, but it does not have an HDTV tuner/decoder built-in -- it requires and external decoder. Most HDTVs sold today are HDTV-ready, while the few that exist with internal HDTV decoders cost about $1000 more. With the state of flux in HDTV technology, there's no guarantee the decoder will work properly for all HDTV decoding chores a few years from now. You can more readily swap an external decoder if necessary, though they can cost $350-$500 for over-the-air (OTA) varieties and up to $800 for satellite versions (like Sony's new SAT-HD200 DirecTV/OTA HD box).“http://www.extremetech.com/article2/ 0,1558,1154366,00.asp - Cached
„RCA, on the other hand, does not list a contrast ratio. Nevertheless, when I compare the black levels of RCA and Samsung DLP TVs to those of Toshiba and Panasonic plasma TVs, my eyes (and my light meters) tell me the plasmas have the superior black levels-by 30% or so.“http://www.plasmatvbuyingguide.com/ dlpvsplasmatv.html - Cached
„If the extra cost of an ISF calibration doesn't bother you (it shouldn't; it's almost required with RPTVs), then this set is worth a look. It tracks well and has both a built-in HDTV tuner and DirecTV receiver. Even with the money you'll spend on calibration, this set is a good value, considering the picture quality you can get out of it and everything that's included.—GM P61310 HDTV $4,000 RCA (317) 267-5000 www.rca.com Dealer Locator Code RCA HT Labs Measures:RCA HDTV The top chart shows the gray scale of the RCA HDTV as set by the manufacturer, in the most accurate menu setting possible. The set measures a low 4,500 Kelvin with dark images and leans upward to 6,300 K with brighter images.“http://www.hometheatermag.com/rearprojectiontvs/110/ index5.html - Cached
„Even though the picture resolution does not change, you get a more seamless, more satisfying image on the big screen. The Digital Reality Creation circuits used in Sony plasma TVs goes one better, by replacing analog picture patterns with their digital equivalents, doubling the number of scanning lines and the number of pixels on each line. You get pictures with four times the original picture density—approaching the quality of High Definition!“http://www.plasmatvbuyingguide.com/plasmatv/ sony-ke42m1.html - Cached
„At least that's how we interpret the results. Sponsored by "several major CE and component manufacturers", Quixel's survey team had "TV purchase intenders" compare Plasma TVs, LCD TVs, front projectors, and MicroDisplay rear-pro sets side-by-side. After careful evaluation in the retail store environment, the consumers then told the Quixel Research scribes what they wanted in a new TV and how much they were willing to pay for it. Quixel claims that the study "is the first of its kind to compare all the products side by side in a retail environment across the USA."“http://www.hometheatermag.com/news/100404quixel/ - Cached
