Re: Plasma or LCD? - The TV Thread

I'd strongly consider Panasonic's VT series in that price range

Re: Plasma or LCD? - The TV Thread

I have a Panasonic GT series Plasma right now and I get some noticeable line bleed from time to time. Like this...

It also just doesn't seem to be able to handle fast-moving images like a 240Hz LCD can. I know all plasma's are 600Hz but for whatever reason, in my eyes, the moving picture just looks better on high-end LCD's.

I'm open for suggestions but I want something that a) performs at an optimal with fast-moving images and b) does not suffer from any line bleeding, banding, or clouding.

Thanks for the input and I'm eager to hear if any of you guys have plasma's that don't have line bleeding.

This is a bad panel right? Specifically the dark cloud, the other coloration is the poor SD channel that made this jump out the most. Sometimes you can't even tell it is there.

I've said it before, but 600 Hz on a plasma isn't quite measuring the exact same thing as, say, 240 Hz on an LCD.

An LCD can and will interpolate more than sixty frames per second, plus add motion blur. If you think that more frames in between means it "handles fast-moving images better," than LCD will be for you. All plasma screens operate at 60 Hz, and have ten subfields within each frame, handling each individual frame well but only operating as many as sixty frames per second.

Whichever looks better to you is the one that you should choose, but don't get pulled into hearing 600 Hz and think that it's running 600 frames per second.

My plasma has line bleeding, but it doesn't seem to be noticeable in any normal viewing content. If there's a large black bar going across the screen (like for my volume from my Yamaha receiver) or if the white letters in front of the green screen of a trailer preview rating is on the television, I'll see it. I won't see it otherwise.

Thanks. That makes sense. And my Panasonic plasma is the same way. I usually don't see the bleeding, but I do notice it from time to time in menus on video games and it drives me nuts. When I pay close to or over $3,000 for a TV I don't want that to happen. I really like the size of the Sharp (70 inches) but I think I like the picture better on the Samsung. However, one of the comments about the vertical banding on the 65 inch Samsung has me greatly concerned. That's the one I was leaning towards, and now I'm not sure.

Check avsforum and read the es8000 thread. They can let you know if the 65 is fixed yet. I got mine from amazon, so I didn't have any issues returning/exchanging the 2 I got. If you have a DVR, record the Superbowl and then try it on the 65, you will notice any vertical banding right away.

I would start with the 65 and try 1-2 of those. I haven't read about anyone having banding on the 60, for some reason only the 65.

Don't get sucked into believing that when gaming that a 240hz LCD panel will perform better also

People who have tried to play games not on game mode have quickly realized how tough it is, especially on the MLB the Show forums. On well, I hopefully don't have to explain what game mode does

Re: Plasma or LCD? - The TV Thread

I'm looking to purchase a TV in the 46-50 inch range. I would like it to have WiFi and the ability to use Netflix, Hulu, etc. My budget is around $1000, but could go slightly higher if necessary. Any recommendations?

Finally calibrating my 55lm7600 again. This tv is amazing for calibrations. An ISF certified tv is rare to come by, but this LG is. Ill post my pre and post calibration reports after I finish.

Re: Plasma or LCD? - The TV Thread

When using game mode should you adjust settings such as backlight, color, contrast, brightness, sharpness etc or leave as is? Settings are lower than standard mode just want to make sure it is okay to tweak them without causing problems when gaming. I know all the processing features such as trumotion are off as they should be when playing games. I have a 42 inch LG lcd tv 120hz. Thanks

Re: Plasma or LCD? - The TV Thread

If I was to go out right now and buy a new 55 inch tv with great pq and little lag for the show with a $2500 budget what would you guys suggest? I'm all over the place so I want others opinions. Feb is usually cheapest time to get new tvs.

Ive been looking at that panasonic and the samsung 8000 smart tv.

Depends on if you like Plasma (Panasonic) or LED (Samsung). Both of those TVs are top of the line brands for their types. I would say go look at them in person and pick with one you like best.
