Hi,
I've seen 3 plasmas hooked up with what should be reasonably good sources, and all have exhibited noise in the dark to mid tones (some worse than others). The Plasmas I've seen so far were a JVC, a Philips and today a Hitachi 42PD5000.
Is this just an inherent feature of plasma screens, or is it something that settles down with use? It does seem rather noticeable compared to a LCD projector for example.
I also noticed that the both the Philips and Hitachi and problems with scaling (the Philips was abominable, and the Hitachi had faint vertical bars when stretching a 4:3 source). Is scaling usually not that great on the sets themselves?
Thanks,
Steve
