questions about a Pioneer plasma display...
I'm going to ask Pioneer and my dealer about this, so I don't want this
thread to get out of hand. My new Pioneer plasma now has around 20 hours on it. Two things strike me as odd. Though a Kuro, the display is faintly gray when turned on. I was expecting something closer to absolute black. The faint gray is not uniform. There is a broad lateral "splotch" across the center of the screen -- sort of like an irregular galaxy -- that is significantly darker. This area is not noticeable in program material (except once in a while in star fields), and seems to be getting larger. Is this a normal part of the breaking-in process? (These sets are supposed "pre-aged" at the factory.) Will the splotch grow to cover the entire screen (which would be a good thing, of course). Anyone know anything about this? The set is under warranty, so I'm not too worried, but... PS: I watched the Blu-ray of "2001" last night. It is a major revelation. The film never looked even remotely that good in the theater -- and by the theater, I mean 70mm Cinerama (Super Panavision) projection. This is a Blu-ray demo disk. |
