I have been reading a lot lately about Plasma and I am seriously thinking about the Sony PFM 42B. The one problem I keep reading about in reviews is that so far Plasma still cannot keep up with the best of the other types when it comes to black level. I don't get the impression that a better player will change that. If you find out more please let me know. Is the problem severe? I saw a demo at the show in New York, but not for long enough to evaluate it well.
Black Level on Plasma Display
I own a SONY 42" Plasma Display. Although the colors scenes look great, the darker scenes, wich demands a better level of black, seems a little too bright. Even after professional calibration, the black level doesn't seems too good. I was thinking of changing my DVD Player to try to get some improvement (my DVD Player is the Harmon Kardon DV-50 - with progressive scan). Is it possible to improve the black level of the display by changing the DVD player? Which are the best black level DVD players?
