Tiny plasmas
 
I encountered a Tiny plasma today, and it was appalling. Very basic.

I went into the Sony Centre in the Trafford Centre last week and was
frankly appalled at the picture quality of all Sony plasma and LCD
displays apart from one (LCD IIRC) which the salesman pointed out had a
higher resolution (HD-ready, apparently...).

Sony are supposed to be one of the best TV makers, and if theirs are
that bad then I dread to think what the other manufacturers' displays
are like.

when thinking about a plasma purchase allways consider and see a projector,
such as the Panasonic 700 model.

Sony are good for CRT based displays, all the plasma or LCD displays
suffer from poor contrast ratio and response times. Some of the best
plasma displays have a contrast ratio of 4000:1 (Pioneer), which is a
fraction of the ratio of a CRT or the human eye. Some LCDs have a
response of 10ms (Philips) which can still result in blurred indistinct
images. Why do you think retailers like to display such products showing
animation with comic book like saturated primary (or secondary) colours
and negligible contrast range.

Are they? Perhaps people just believe what the manufacturers say in the
advertising without questioning the claims.

I have watched an expensive Sony LCD for half a day and I wasn't
impressed with its performance. For the majority of programs it looked
okay but for fast moving action, such as found in sport, it was painful
to watch showing lag/ghosting problems associated with poor LCD
response times.

I'm sure that some people having bought an expensive brand fool
themselves into believing it is the best they could have purchased

I did notice that Dixons pretty much only had cartoons being shown.

They used to be for CRT. Trinitron seemed to be good.

No doubt. I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just saying that if Sony
(who do have a reputation for decent displays) only seems to produce
crap displays then you have to wonder what a lot of the cheaper
competition is going to be like, and I dread to think what Alba Group
plasmas / LDCs would look like.

True.

What's the biggest CRT size available? And are HD resolutions possible
on CRTs?
