You are very biased in favor of Plasma. In viewing environment, you fail to say that LCD will give you a much better picture in bright light. In off axis viewing,cheap LCD sets are poor in this area just as cheap Plasmas. The top brands are very good. You lump the past in the present. Have you ever viewed a 65 inch Sharp Aquos in an average room? , say 15 feet by 18 feet? You cannot walk far enough away from the set to see a reduction in contrast. You talk about pricy backlit LCD’s when in fact your beloved Kuro is $5000.00.

Did you know that the European Union wants to ban plasmas because they suck energy? (yes prototypes have been shown with better energy figures)

The page looks fine to me (Chrome), maybe they fixed it. The grammar though…

Anyways, the last section about the 3D was useful. I haven’t seen the glasses anywhere yet, and not a single one of the listed stores are near me, and I live in a very big suburb of Chicago. I’ll have to give the number a ring.

I’m sure it would look better if you were at TV distance rather than computer distance.

Sometimes I wonder what planet you are shopping in with your prices, which are always higher than what is available at reputable stores like Amazon.

In addition, your trends are always wrong. I’ve been reading your site for a while and not infrequently there are statements about “prices have fallend again’?

What? I’ve been tracking prices since May and you know what, very little movement. The Great Depression notwithstanding. For example, the Samsung PN A550, a 50 inch plasma was available around $1500-$1550 in May 2008 and not is around $1450-1500. Big deal.

dlp dude is right, there are some mistakes on this page (I am using Firefox 3). For one, the first paragraph indicates that there is a link to a seating distance chart, but instead of an actual link there is just the word “link”. Also, the parenthetical clause referring to more expensive LCD backlight technologies is messed up.

I picked up the glasses and went to the colorcode3d website to view their photo and video previews of the process. It is at best is mediocre and sure to turn viewers who haven’t seen a true polarized 3D film in a legitimate imax or digital 3d theatre completely to 3D.

Why would they try to push “Monsters VS. Aliens” with such a shoddy demonstration. I think it will only hurt audience interest in the film.

Bad idea – very bad idea.

HD Guru – the post is messed up. It looks like you need to update the HTML or something. I’m using IE7 if that’s any help.

Maybe it’s the link from Gizmodo, but it’s not a good look.
