MLXXX Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 NTSC and PAL colour space is slightly different and both are different to HD colour space, although the differences are not huge.In the old days I believe NTSC and PAL CRT TV’s used different phosphors to match the relevant colour space. With the introduction of HD the issue was complicated and manufacturers had to come to some sort of compromise. Modern TV’s auto detect the colour space based on the input video format and compensation is added to the video processing chain to correct for the differences as best as possible. Colour from the ABC's broadcasts of BBC programs often seems better to me. The Bill is a case in point. Britain uses PAL so I suppose this is not surprising. I also find the sound and action of The Bill has a very solid feel to it. I suspect it is recorded at 25fps, so there is no 4% speedup when we see the program here in Australia at 50p or 50i.

nis200979 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Read the extended warraty detail clauses from most retailers regarding plasma screens and you'll see that it doesn't matter what you pay, beyond what the manufacturers offer there is no insurance for the plasma problems.I would love to see how CRT sales figures (even the new (inferior to deep tube 100Hz) slim fit varietys) currently compare to Plasma and LCD sales. I know the local GGs just ordered in a heap more of both the LG slimfit models and I haven't seen them restock any LG Plasma ranges in a while. LG are on recall due to the channel 9 issues. Check the Myer Product cover brochure, it covers everything the manufacturer does, plus has a lemon policy and covers 'wear and tear'. It's also transferable.

tomohawk Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 This will cause burn in on CRTs and LCDs as well.... Burn in these days is a user fault not a product failure. I wasn't aware burn in was really a significant issue on modern LCD panels? Having previously used a plasma, however, I treat my LCD with the same respect (and fear) as if it were a plasma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeAusDTV Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Here is an extract from the Manual for the latest LG 60" Plasma. Image Sticking Minimisation methods - Normal - White Wash - Orbiter - Inversion How many LCD monitors include options for minimising or getting rid of "ghost" images ???

Mike Probably none, but image retention is temporary, whereas burn in is permanent but no longer a factor ASFAIK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
