Who here games on Plasma?

The only concern I'd have about gaming on a plasma is the same as using a plasma in general: make sure you run color slides for a couple hundred hours before you use the set to minimize the risk of burn in. You don't want to be seeing the HUD from your favorite game showing up when you're trying to watch TV.

Running slides only ages the phosphors evenly and does Nothing to prevent burn in.
People like u try to pass off BS as fact and I really fling sick of it. If you don't know shit, don't talk shit.
 
Love people trying to justify sets they paid $10,000 for that arent worth $500 now.

Pretty much sums up the plasma obsession.

Destroy everything? I've had projectors that those plasmas wouldn't be worthy of displaying the OSD.


Let me know when plasma pixels can stay one solid color for more than 1/60th a second without changing slightly every frame or produce smooth color gradients that don't look dithered. That glitter and dither look drives me insane, never understood the plasma hype.

Once upon a time I went money no object display shopping and didn't like anything, ended up going front projector and never looked back.

Because shining a brighter light through an LCD screen is just like a whole new technology... Whoever sold you that shit and that bill of goods is probably still laughing while spending his commission check. I get CRT black. You get gray mush. Enjoy. Also, sit closer...

i have a 120" projector and a 60" plasma, and there is just no denying that the black levels on the plasma are noticeably better. it's just a fact that the blacks can't be beat on it. i'm not sure wtf you are whining about comparing a projector to a plasma.

at any distance further away than like 1-2 feet the complaints you have about plasmas can't even be seen to the naked eye. i don't know anyone who sits 2 feet away from a 50" screen.

There were an awful lot of shitty CRTs with not so black blacks for all this comparison to CRT... just saying.
