Unbelievably, it now appears that one of the very few plasmas regarded by the forum as being truly HD compatible, the NEC XR/XM models, may not be after all.
On the one hand, Liam claims to have inputted 720p/50 and I had an e-mail from NEC UK stating that the XR3 did indeed accept 720p/50 and 1080i/50 via DVI.
On the other hand, 720p/50 is definitely a glaring omission from the list of supported signals in NEC's "Model Information" booklet and now, in the "Mega Plasma Test" thread MAw claims that he cannot get an XM3 to accept this all important signal and he definitely knows what he is talking about (even if he does have a little difficulty reading manuals.....)
So where the hell are we now?? I am going to wait for the 8th generation Panasonic, and then probably discover that they have some debilitating problem or other.......
