Display color on plasma tv stinks
i just purchased a sampo pme42v3 plasma display. i have my DSS connected
through AV and i have my dvd player connected through YPBPR. the color on
it stinks. is it my connections? is it the display? or is it typical
among plasma displays? my AV picture is worse than the YPBPR for obvious
reasons. but would a different connection make the quality better? the
picture right now looks as if you were viewing a jpg on your computer with
the color set to 256 (it sucks on gradients, well only when its a dark
picture, if its bright you dont notice anything). supposedly these are all
suppose to be 16mil colors. anyone know what the problem is and know how to
improve the quality of the picture. my 6 year old sony trinitron picture is
superior to the brand new plasma display. thanks!

Okay, it's not 1080 x 1920 HD, but it is pretty spectacular with an HD
signal, especially the Panasonics I saw in Las Vegas at CES. If they just
can figure out how to stop discarding the 5 bad ones for every 10 they make,
maybe the $25K price tag will drop substantially!

From what I've seen, Plasma, while considerably better than it was only
two years ago, still has a way to go to catch up with 9" CRTs in a RPTV.

this better than any CRT based display - for the same amount of money. If
you take into account the Madrigal CRTs their incredible but their also 85K
if I'm not mistaken but they do use your 9" CRTs. The only RPTV today that
has 9" CRTs is the Mits WS73909 - that I know of.

putting that aside have you tried adjust the display using something like
the Avia disk? If your trying to eye ball the adjustments you'll never get
them right.

contrast/brightness/color etc wouldnt change the fact that dark gradients
look horrible. =) would an hdtv receiver make it the quality better, or a
different connection or do all sampos look like this no matter what? if
thats the case whats the best lookin plasma display out there? are marantz
plasmas any good?

Even though both cost $14,000 or more, I thought the picture really was
pretty average--looked to me like a large ordinary tube TV with ordinary
quality. Nothing near HDTV on a good rear projection TV.

Unless you've set up a lot of TVs you just can't eye ball it. I don't know
about the Marantz - it should be good - but the Pioneer and the Panasonic
are very good so is the Sony.
