Off Topic? Civ4-General? I don;t know, and don;t give a hoot! This is what I got set up today:

The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

Sweet. Does the display do 1080p or just 1080i? What's the native resolution?"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

The difference between 1080p and 1080i is barely noticeable. Or so I've heard.
If I had such a beauty in my living room, I'd would also need some tissue.
The Dell 32' LCD was on sale a couple of days ago. It was 1400$ cdn. Tempting... But you still get a lot more bang for the buck with DLP, better image quality too.Last edited by Nostromo; July 5, 2006, 19:02.Let us be lazy in everything, except in loving and drinking, except in being lazy – LessingComment

Depends on what you're doing...1080p gives you a full 60fps without any tearing. For things such as hockey it should be outstanding.
I'm planning on buying my own HDTV in September-ish when I get my own place, and it'll be a 1080p."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Let us know what you get - I'll be looking in the fall too and would be interested. I think I can trust your fanaticism to find the best thing out there.Originally posted by Asher

Do Plasma TVs still suffer from the dimming problem and other issues?Comment

Dimming? I would guess they don't as I have no idea what you're talking about...Founder of The Glory of War, CHAMPIONS OF APOLYTON!!!

Sweet setup
I have a 30'' inch Sony HDTV (CRT, though... so not as light as yours), though no 1080p. I'll wait until my current HDTV becomes too obsolete to deal with anymore.

Dimming? I would guess they don't as I have no idea what you're talking about...Plasma, by contrast, uses a small electric pulse for each pixel to excite the rare natural gases argon, neon, and xenon (a k a "phosphors") to produce the color information and light. As electrons excite the phosphors, oxygen atoms dissipate. These rare gases actually have a life and fade over time. Manufacturers of plasma have estimated the life of these phosphors to be about 60,000 hours. The life of the plasma display itself is usually determined by half-life of the phosphors. So at 30,000 hours the phosphors will be at their half-life, and the viewer will be seeing an image that has half the brightness capability that it did when originally purchased. This should be a good point at which to consider its life over. The gases in plasma TVs cannot be replaced. There is no phenomenon of "pumping" new gases into a plasma display.Last edited by Nostromo; July 5, 2006, 23:21.Let us be lazy in everything, except in loving and drinking, except in being lazy – LessingComment

That doesn't seem that big a problem.
At 5 hours a day thats 6000 days which is 20 years...
Althought the excerpt doesnt make sense.
estimated life of 60K hours and half life of 30K are two different things, and the author looks confused.Comment
