RP is a VERY good display, but as you've noticed having to replace bulbs and poor viewing angles tend to put it in another category. I would have mentioned what you did about plasmas (poor color range) but if it was coming from me people wouldn't have believed it. So thanks. ;)

i can feel the burning already.
I'll see if i can get a decent shot of it with my camera later today. Yes, I know people aren't going to believe it... but c'est la vie, a picture is worth a 1000 words.

His Plasma tops out at 1080i. How long has it been since ANY television had specs like that? 5 years? 720p, sure, but 1080i? That's an old TV. You can't base conclusions about current technology on 5 year old products.
If you don't live above 6000 feet, Plasma is king. An LCD panel that can come close to matching it (and it can only come close) will cost three times as much.

well here it is. the smoking gun for plasma
plasma: 42" philips plasma, video through HDMI
CRT: 27" citizen, video through YPbPR
photo 1 is plasma photo 2 is CRT i tried to get a tighter shot on the CRT due to the smaller size.
this is by no means any kind of scientific test.

I'd say the after Christmas sales. The stores want to get rid of leftover holiday stock.
lilshawn:
does anybody really know what "full HD" is??
HD is only HD if there is something less than what is being called HD is now called HD can no longer be called HD cause A NEW HD IS IN TOWN MOFO!.
color was HD
then 720 was HD
then 1080 was HD
By that logic my computer monitor at 1920x1200 is... the new, new, "full HD"?
