I have been underwhelmed by the plasma units I have seen.To me the majority have a soft picture & they don't do black well. I recently saw a $20k unit that was better than what I have seen before but even if I could afford it I wouldn't buy it because the picture wasn't good enough or big enough.
Flat Plasma: Worth the W.A.F. Premium?
Having just completed all of my homework to purchase a 34" direct view 16:9 HD TV, my girlfriend has declared that the flat plasma screen is the only thing she really wants in the bedroom. My first impression is that a) flat plasmas are way overpriced and b) the picture isn't really that great. Please correct me where I am wrong. Maybe the pictures are quite good? Especially as we are replacing a 13 year old NEC TV? Also, if I do succumb to her flat panel wishes, is there any consensus regarding the best value in the < $25,000 flat plasma screens? Thank you very much.
