This is the problem for the plasma displays for computers also. I deal with the graphics industry and that is why the professional color people use the crt for hi end color work. There was not display out there that did as good a job as the crt.(even the 3k apple display. Not going to get much better in the next year or so.
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?
