Change the aspect ratio.

For the Plasma users. Has Panasonic addressed the black issue with this years models?

And if yes, should I consider that for a Plasma say compared to the Samsung models?

Panasonic says yes, no way of knowing for sure til these sets get older. Haven't seen any rising black level complaints for 10 models.

Panasonic is always the starting point for plasmas. Since Pioneer dropped out it left Panasonic the clear #1

Don't think Samsung or LG would be bad second options if you are hesitant on going Panasonic.

What do you mean by starting point?

I assumed they were basically the "top dog" now for picture quality on plasma, since they purchased Pioneer's tech for the panels.

This years model does not use any KURO Tech. As for the Rising Blacks Panny won't publicly say this years model blacks will rise eventually over time. What's been heard from insiders is it will take longer within this years models compared to last years models for the blacks to rise

I see.

So would they be considered the best plasma you can get now? Or has someone else put their hat in the ring?

Still Panasonic > Samsung > LG

I personally wouldn't buy a plasma from anyone other than these 3.

They're considered the BEST Plasma on the market because right now they are, but the competition is closing on fast. The rising of blacks is dependent on much you use your set. If your running your set 8-10 hours a day, the blacks will rise faster. The less you run you set the longer it will take.
