Fujitsu Plasma Screens Any thoughts?

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.

swampwalker,

I was able to access the hidden menu on a thread specific to my NEC plasma over at avsforum.com

Try entering your unit in their search engine. Good luck.

Oh, be very careful when entering a hidden menu; you migh make changes you can't get back.
