I don't think the problem is severe, but it is noticeable. In long dark scenes, you have the sensation that the black is kind of "bright". My bedroom wall behind the Plasma seems a lot more darker than the scenes in the Plasma. Somehow you can feel that this is not the darker a black scene can get. I heard that some dvd player have a better black level management than the others, but I'm not sure how good my DVD Player is in such matter...
Black Level on Plasma Display
I own a SONY 42" Plasma Display. Although the colors scenes look great, the darker scenes, wich demands a better level of black, seems a little too bright. Even after professional calibration, the black level doesn't seems too good. I was thinking of changing my DVD Player to try to get some improvement (my DVD Player is the Harmon Kardon DV-50 - with progressive scan). Is it possible to improve the black level of the display by changing the DVD player? Which are the best black level DVD players?
