Fujitsu Plasma Screens Any thoughts?

I too recommend to dig around the avsforum.

Slightly off-topic aside - As a company, Pioneer is betting its whole life on plasma and the results show in the new "Kuro" monitor. It is fantastic (though a fair bit more expensive than anything else out there now - and it will not save the company from getting run over by the LCD panel freight train).

Try not to buy until you get a chance to see the latest commercial units from NEC.

I sell Fujitsu Plasmas. What makes them special is their combination of the best black level and excellent scaling. They tend to make even the best mass market plasmas (Pioneer) look more "digitized" by comparison. The downside is that they are more expensive than just about anything else.

If you want the best, check out Fujitsu's new Aviamo series of 1080p plasmas.

BTW, T-Bone is right. LCD seems to be gaining in popularity every day despite some serious problems with black level and motion artifacts due to slow refresh. They have gotten better recently, but they have a long way to go.

Hey Dave- Do you have any thoughts on getting to a "hidden" service menu on my 3 y.o. 42" Fujitsu. My calibration tech says that I have both white and black crush issues. He was able to get a really good calibration only if he used a $1500 Lumigen scaler/processor and I was not interested in spending that much extra dough. I'm in CT.

Sorry swampwalker, I don't know how to access a hidden menu.
