"It's like being there."
That's a quote from a friend who watched some DVDs on my Panasonic plasma screen last night. What I find amazing is how often that sentiment is expressed by people who see
images on my plasma. I don't mean sheer enthusiasm, like: "Wow, this looks fantastic." I mean specific comments on the realism, the window-on-reality feel of the viewing experience. When I was auditioning plasmas, I constantly heard comments from other customers in front of the plasmas: "It just looks real"-- "Like being on the set"-- "Like I'm there." Now that I own a plasma, these comments are a regular occurrence from guests.
Which leads me to wonder if enthusiasts of other display technologies encounter the same comments. Do you Projection/RPTV/CRT owners get the "realism" comments?
I've yet to see a RPTV/Projector/CRT image that had the sort of realism I see in good plasma displays (and I've seen many, many great displays). But that's me. What about you guys?
Thanks,
Rich.
