Plasma vs LCD Question
-
How’s the view angle on a Dreamcolor? One of the reasons I like the plasma (with all its problems) is the image is pretty much identical no matter where in the room you look at it. Good for a couch full of clients.

I like it much better than the Cinetal or JVCs.
you can easily fit three people in front of it without getting too much colorshifts.
I guess 70 degree is realistic.A slice of color…

Thanks for clarifying Sascha. Do you also happen to know if I would maintain a 10b signal if I use a HDMI > Displayport cable from the DeckLink card out to the monitor?

I use Panasonic Pro 52″ as my main grading monitor. I didn’t find drifting troublesome. What I do find bothersome is the flickering of the picture, where it appears as an 8/10 bit banding. Mind you, I use my monitor with an HDSDI 10 bit input. The problem with plasma technology, that in order to be able to maintain a quick refresh rates, plasma has to be kept in the excited stage, which is done with a bias duty cycle. That in itself causes awful artifacts. But, I would still take that over milky blacks of majority of LCDs. Other than that, no complains:-)

Hmm, thanks for explaining that. I’ve always wondered that about mine. The problem I find with plasma banding is it always creeps up in skintones and the client sometimes asks why it’s there.. But you’re right, it does have many upticks.

Who have you been using for your Plasma calibration?

Doing it by hand at the moment, with an HDLink – not ideal by far but I can get it fairly close.
Actually, if anyone has any experience with calibrators in the New York area I’d love to know. From everything I saw on this forum and otherwise, Plasma benefits from a non-contact probe like the hubble and I haven’t seen one advertised as used when I was looking around.

If you are in the US .. I have been using Gregg over at LionAV lionav.com
Nice guy! Reasonable prices and great to work with.
