It has come to my attention that some of you out there feel that I am, for some reason, biased against LCDs. I would like to apologize. I am sorry for pointing out poor black levels, inaccurate color, horrendous viewing angles, mediocre contrast ratios, and, above all else, motion blur. Yep, my bad.
What I have said all along is that I am entirely technology neutral. I treat every display that comes to the lab the same way. Show me a good-looking display, and I’m happy, regardless of how it makes its pictures. Show me a bad-looking display. . .
My guess is that this rumor stems from more informal opinion inquiries. When someone casually asks me what they should buy in the flat-panel realm, I will reply that plasmas tend to perform better, although LCDs are better suited for bright rooms. I’m not saying plasmas look good, just that I’ve found they often…
