Tv haloed from any angle. Knew lg nano led hadnt improved from the 960 last year.
According to you. I have been sitting in front of it for a while and in shop demo where the backlight is to the max. the haloing is quite visible while seen from above in one sits in front of it the haloing is not apparent. In addition, if one calibrates the TV in a house environment the problem will be even less apparent.Another desperate myth.
I dissagree there. The LG 4K 65'', haloing was not apparent when sit dead in front of it. I admit that at the moment it will not be my first choice but it is not that bad. Off course for the that price 5.5K it should be better.Tv haloed from any angle. Knew lg nano led hadnt improved from the 960 last year.
I saw a direct comparison of a VT60 next to an LG UHD LCD Tv in Fenwicks Newcastle, and the Plasma looked very dull and very grey(no "inky" blacks i'm afraid,i love that one) in comparison. Its lack of detail and sharpness compared to it's Sony LCD neighbour was also embarrassing.
Maybe they are great in a pitch black cinema room, but for those for the 99.9% of us who have windows and lights it's a dreadful technology.
Thats why they are going, and why stores don't and cannot sell them.
I also compared a Beovision 12-65 which uses a Panasonic plasma panel against a Beovision 7-55 Mk2 which I'm about to get. The 7-55 uses local dimming and was far sharper and clearer in a variety of ambient settings.
I would have got the plasma if it had been better, but the brutal truth is that it looked a generation behind the LCD.
Completely agree with your comments. To say that peeople after 4k are stupid is rubbish. The specs don't lie and 4k to me seems the biggest revolution in the tv market since full hd.
4K would be fine for watching on disc etc but the broadcasts by Sky for their HD channels are not as good as when HD first arrived on the scene, they've cut the bitrate of a lot channels I believe.
I don't see the point of 4K for broadcast material when they can't even give us proper HD yet.

My current Samsung 51Es800 plasma is a dream but want a bigger one and 60/64 is to big. Whilst the panasonics are good for many people.. please could this be true and samsung do a 55inch version of their flagship next year (assuming they dont go) to fill the gap
No point in bemoaning the loss of a superior product (which plasma undoubtably is over LCD/LED) as it has happened numerous times in AV history in the past.....VCR over Betamax and Blu-Ray over HD-DVD are two that spring to mind right now.
All enthusiasts can do is maybe grab a bargain or two as this technology goes to the wall and enjoy it until 4K panels become mainstream and more affordable.

Can you elaborate on what makes HD-DVD better than blu-ray? I thought it was the other way around.
And I agree, there will be 2014 plasmas since there is a section of the market that will not buy LCD (4k or otherwise).
