Well, my 60″ Sony TV is going back from whence it came.<\/p>\n
The picture was beautiful, colors saturated, excellent detail. But that “grainy” overlay (the much lamented “Silk Screen Effect”) was just too intrusive for me. Whenever I sat down to watch, I’d be absorbed in the show, and then suddenly the grain would pop out at me and ruin the effect. I tried it for a month, but it’s a no-go.<\/p>\n
It looks like the only way I can go is either Plasma, or LCD. Ken has been advising me, and strongly recommends Plasma. However, currently Plasma isn’t full HD resolution (HD requires 1920 x 1080, while current Plasmas are typically 1366 x 768). But if I can wait until late summer or early fall, the real HD plasmas will be out. <\/p>\n
In fact, there’s a nice 65″ LCD at Ultimate Electronics that looks beautiful to my eyes, but for $20,000 I think it’s a little out of my price range!<\/p>\n
So looks like I wait a few months until either new Plasmas come out, or LCD prices come down. In the mean time, I am back to my old 50″ standard definition TV.<\/p>\n
