Runco Plasmas - How are they different?


Hi

There doesn't seem to be much knowledge on Runco plasmas anywhere on the internet.

These plasmas seem to be twice the price of the competition (Panasonic and Pioneer, etc). My question is: Do these runco Plasmas offer something that the competition does not?

I have walked through all the mass market stores (including twweter) many times and stared at all the TVs: plasmas, LCD, rear projection, etc. EVERY single one has a bad picture to me. If you look at edges when there is movement, there is extremely obvious pixelation and distortion. This is very distracting to me, and I would never make a serious investment in a TV that had this problem. Maybe the runco is not plagued with this?

I am interested in experienced opinions: people who have spent time with the Runcos. Speculation is not of interest to me.

Thanks!

The big retailers also set up the displays right out of the box without any attempt to do a proper setup. Shockingly, even my local Sony Style store does this. What are they thinking? A specialty home theatre shop, such as whomever you are working with on the Runco, should do a better job. Whether or not any of them carry the big name brands I can't say.

The picture I'm getting at home on my Hitachi 42" plasma is much better than anything I saw on any set during my shopping process. Oddly, I never seem to notice pixelization, although my wife does. I'm too absorbed in the gorgeous color from the plasma display.
