This is a subject that many gamers are passionate about and also one that I personally do not know which setting to have even after watching the video below.
The video shows a Sony PS3 game and a test of “RGB Full vs Limited”, I currently have my settings changed to RGB Full connected to Panasonic Plasma and really I cannot tell any difference without it side by side with another TV.
Although in the RGB Full vs Limited video below you can see that with the setting on full it looks more like an Xbox 360’s display.
The maker of this video said that he does not own a PS3 or Xbox 360 and plays games on his PC, I personally think things look ok on both settings, but I also know it depends what TV you have your PS3 connected to.

plasma and lcd displays are tricky, they both suffer form the “screendoor” effect! get close to the tv and look at the grid that is there. dlp set`s will show the difference between rgb full and limited! people are way too misinformed about plasma and lcd, ever put you hand on the screen and felt how hot it is? It`s nice to be able to mount the tv on the wall for the wife, but people should actually go for picture quality! the screendoor effect was all too familier with all crt display`s, so plasma and lcd are still using old technology but with a new twist.
What the hell does all this mean?
“Although in the RGB Full vs Limited video below you can see that with the setting on full it looks more like an Xbox 360’s display.”
Huh?
your a moron Johnson, you are the one misinforming people.
to get the screen door effect you need to be less than a foot away from your LCD/Plasma. I have 2 plasmas, 42″ and 50″ and need to be within a foot of each to get the screen door effect.
LCD and Plasma are completely different from CRT which uses a tube and makes it so chunky.
DLP’s are big, ugly and can not even touch the performance of plasmas. No major retailers in Australia even carry DLP anymore.
Yeah Plasmas and LCD are warm to touch, so are computers, DVD players, Blu playes, game consoles, pretty much anything electronical, better not buy those too people!!
Well Chipped, your the moron. DLP outperforms lcd, and plasma. DLPs are not big and ugly, you are thinking of the old school projection tvs. You sir are a moron if you think plasmas are better than the new dlps, and how they perform!
Yeah, too bad he has bought so many! by the way, next time football is on, see how it is shot! with dlp!!! hey chip, look at it this way, at least you can hang it on the wall for wifey! maybe you wont get all that reflection on the glass of your plasma if it`s up there! “screendoor” is also on crt`s as well as plasma and lcd! OLD TECHNOLOGY WITH A NEW TWIST!!! better made for INTERLACING 480i,1080i
O well, at least i get better colour o n My PS3 and no one can say the colour of PS3 games are washed out.
Plasma TV
Advantages
* Top name brand plasmas have a fairly long life, lasting about 20 years at a six hours per day pace.
* A plasma screen has a field vision of about 180 degrees without loss of picture quality. That means you can watch the screen from any angle.
* Plasmas are very bright (about 4-5 times brighter than the average TV)
* They have great contrast ratios (enables them to show better shadow detail)
* Plasmas are generally cheaper than LCDs
* They have excellent picture response. There is virtually no delay (blockiness or pixilation) like with LCDs.
* Doesn’t take up much space and can be mounted on a wall.
Disadvantages
* Plasmas can have burn in problems. Plasmas do not make as good computer monitors as LCDs. If you were to leave the Plasma TV on for 24 hours a day and there was an image that remained constant on the screen (like a logo), you would run the risk of that image permanently burning into the screen. However, the chance of this happening is often over-exaggerated.
* Plasmas are not available below 37 inches.
NOTES: There are a lot of junk Plasmas out there, so stick to top brand names. Panasonic is generally credited for making the best quality Plasma TVs. Also, do not purchase a used Plasma TV on eBay. The first generation Plasma had poor contract and brightness.
DLP (Digital Light Processing) TV
Advantages
* DLP screens are larger and are cheaper in the short-term than LCD or Plasma.
* Good brightness and color. DLP can illuminate a larger screen for more people at a cheaper initial cost than Plasma.
Disadvantages
* There’s a high maintanence cost. The DLP TV is basically a video projector in a box. You have to replace the lightbulb, which has limited durability.
* DLPs take up a lot more space than Plasma and LCD and are not wall mountable.
* DLPs don’t have as good field vision as Plasmas, meaning you can’t get as good picture quality when viewing the screen at an angle.
* DLPs are not known for having that great of picture quality.
* Fast moving objects can cause a trail of colors (color artifacts).
ENOUGH SAID. (morons)
Plasma Disadvantages:
When comparing Plasma vs DLP TVs we see three disadvantages that Plasma TVs have when compared to DLP.
One disadvantage of a Plasma television is called the Screen Door effect. This effect makes the television appear as if it were on the other side of a window or sliding glass door screen. The closer to the screen you are the more visible this effect will be. Manufactures are working on this and trying to make it better. But definitely something you will want to consider if you plan on sitting close to the television or planning on getting a large size (over 50 inches). This becomes less noticeable with a smaller screen, or the farther you sit from the screen.
Another disadvantage of a Plasma television is that it has a limited lifespan and will fade over time. Most Plasmas will start to fade (will not be as bright and colors lose saturation) around 30,000 hours of use become unwatchable around 60,000 hours. There is no bulb the can be replaced therefore once this happens the television is no longer useful. Because of this, we strongly discourage buying a used Plasma television.
Plasmas are susceptible to the Burn in effect. The Burn in effect is what happens when an outline of an image remains on the screen even after the image is gone. This can happen when you have the same shape on a screen for long periods of time. Screens that display the same thing often like stock tickers can cause this. In most cases this will not impact users. And some of the new Plasma televisions have what is called white wash to clear the Burn in, but using this will decrease the life of the Plasma. and plasma displays will not produce a “true” 1080p picture with the “grid” that is in place, this is better known for interlacing.
Damn! No true 1080p? plasmas suck! Found this out earlier this year, geeks will try to sell you higher priced tv`s and usually it is plasma or lcd, but have them hook it up to a blu ray player and turn the contrast off of 100(somewhat calibrate) and you will see the difference that a dlp has over a shitty plasma! plus no glare! the plasma i saw (samsung) had the grid everyone is talking about, and now that i know it is there i will always know! you would think that by now they would have come up with somthing better? Oh wait, they did– DLP
I love my Dlp I have had it for about two - three years pictures great, great viewing angle and the price is right. And I play alot of video games so plasma was out of the question. My bulb has burnt out once (Exploded very loud) but was replaced under warrenty. The only real problem was the sound which was horible (Lg brand) but not really a problem with surround systems nowadays.Oh and since you replace your own bulbs that is something to consider somewhat difficult since you can not touch the bulb. Plus now I have a patch about two inch sq. that looks like a dust patch on the lens I only notice when I am watching hockey though (Because the ice is so white). Plus only 1080i which is because I bought it so long ago.
Really so far I have not needed 1080p and HD tv brodcasting is a waste of money. Please dont waste your money on that the signal is no better than regular digital cable. I have a 52″ so should make a difference.
