Things get exciting with the arrival of this contestant. This is because this one’s plasma, so we have another technology. I wouldn’t say its the best of both worlds, but in plasmas we get fewer devices to review, and price-wise they match.
The design is basic, but good to look at nonetheless. The speakers are at the bottom, and connections include 3 HDMIs, 2 components and the rest, though this one has an optical (digital) audio out too.
The video performance shines with very deep blacks and overall vivid picture when it comes to the contrast /brightness domain, and color is very good too. In this realm it beats the LCDs through and through. But it suffered a bit in detail and cleanliness in the image. Graininess and artifacts around borders were encountered here and there.
