    Lovely picture
    Saw a big flat screen, perhaps 50" next door recently
    Did not like the look of the picture at all
    Have flat screens caught up on pic quality yet ?

    Contrary to some opinions here, a good plasma screen will leave a CRT for dead. It's all about the calibration and using something like THX mode rather than the silly 'vivid' or 'shop' modes that most screens come set to.

    Agree 100%. My Pioneer plasma has a superb picture quality. Pity Pioneer don't make them any more.

    'Vivid' describes that picture well !

    I'm happy with the main TV we have a 36" Panasonic CRT for now
    Delighted to see plasma prices tumbling and sizes increasing in preparation for me getting one

    My Panasonic 42" HD plasma screen (set to THX) is excellent. All standard definition broadcasts are upsampled by my Sky box to 1080i so I don't see a reduction in quality, just a reduction in resolution. To be honest, I watch very little standard definition material now.

    I'd be interested to see that in action next time I'm down. Might force me to get one !
