Panasonic showed a 145inch 8k plasma last year, that translates roughly to 36inch @ 1080p 72inch @ 4k The big problem with 8k plasma is power draw, massive sizes scale better than lcd but adding pixels is a linear equation Plasma has never been pushed to its limit like crt and lcd, 125hz input...

I sent him some dream specs and he asked for credentials thinking I was affiliated with a business, afaik he is a top plasma engineer named on every patent and very sad to let plasma go "Anyhow, could you let me know about your position/company/business...etc? Then I would be able to do...

I am in contact with Panasonic engineers in Japan... 125hz+ plasma is possible I think they want a vote of confidence before taking my ideas up the chain

Panasonic 42PF30 in monitor mode, real world contrast is much higher than camera can handle (still captured from a video)

Don't wait, get a Panasonic S60 and use bias lighting! it should be so close to OLED but with better motion handling. I will post a pic of my 30 series on the lowest contrast setting (the camera white washes higher contrast)

I can ask him about price if that interests you, he said pdp is very cheap to make in 2013 but demand is only 2% and falling, maybe they will do some special deal before Amagasaki is shut down

:) reality is 42 inch reference monitors are selling around $900-1100 at specialist stores and build price are much lower I asked a Panasonic insider about those monitors yesterday and he said they are only made to order from now on, I have already confirmed 125Hz working with no frame skipping...

No interpolation, you are right You are talking about extrapolation and yes it is a very bad idea for gaming Interpolation = wait for two or more successive frames and insert an interim Extrapolation = analyze previous frames and make a prediction in real time (before the next frame) They are...

Interesting monitor Interpolation starts to make alot of sense when you are sending 120+ unique frames EDIT: ok its NOT interpolation :)

FED? everyone knows the next big thing is 8K LCD :p The thing I love most about plasma is the uniformity of motion, instant on instant off, the whole screen moves as one from edge to edge and OLED promises the same thing, it just feels like its going to be a long time until everything comes...

Assuming this is for gaming why choosing LCD over plasma? in theory plasma could do some crazy refresh rates with much higher temporal resolution

What I will never understand is how it was widely believed LCD had better picture quality... in 2005 LCD be the death of CRT, SED, Plasma and just maybe OLED :(

OLED still has motion blur at low frame rates, in order to eliminate the sample-and-hold affect contrast may actually fall well below plasma The best solution is a user selectable "black period" and strobe frequency but we will have to wait and see how OLED brightness/efficiency pans out

That is not an apples to apples comparison, one is a higher bitrate and there is two types of scaling occurring on a 720 rip versus a 1080 luma scaling 720 > 1080 lines chroma scaling 360 > 1080 lines Upping pixel density helps slow displays keep up with fast ones because there is an greater...

Eizo FDF-2405W sounds like the first truly great LCD monitor, I don't know anything about price or availability though

edit: ranting

Its hard to get HDMI to play nice, I think it is lack of driver support

My recent setup before I retired the CRT Apple Cinema Display 21" (Sony Trinitron Tube) Panasonic 42PF30 Plasma 42" Audio Technica ATH-AD700 (headphone) ;)

When you are talking about plasma there is no back light, every pixel is self illuminated same as OLED ;) Sony Trinitron 21" vs Panasonic 42PF30 42" contrast and uniformity

Yeah sad news, I am writing a calibration guide for the last series of Panasonic plasma monitors which I will post here at hardforum first (I doubt there is many left) [PF50] 42PF50U, 42PF50E, 42PF50ER, 42PF50J, 42PF50W 42" 50PF50U, 50PF50E, 50PF50ER, 50PF50J, 50PF50W 50" 60PF50U, 60PF50E...

Most definitely, there was a reduction in the 30 series and I think again in VT60 with the inclusion of a new red phosphor, I remember reading someone went from VT30 to VT60 and noted the lack of "phosphor trails"

I guess we will never know :p Here is the graphic I talked about, the poster mentions crosstalk but from a 2D perspective the only real advantage would seem to be a reduction in input lag

Yeah sure, they are just auto calculated from CRU I didn't tweak them http://oi41.tinypic.com/2uzfj21.jpg Maybe you should start with 800x600/1024x768/1280x720 and work up, you don't need CRU aggressive timings for that (NVIDIA control panel is nice for calculating safe timings)

According to some graphic I found earlier the sub-field order are reversed in 3D mode so you get the brightest pulses first instead of last like at 60hz, it was not made clear whether hold time was shortened though I don't see why it would need to be I think there is probably some mild chroma...

Well thanks to the Custom Resolution Utility I have successfully plugged in a greater range of resolutions at 120hz and the performance is just phenomenal, input lag has been cut down to virtually nil and there is absolutely zero perceptible flicker or motion artifacts in games I do not...
