LifestreamSo, I returned the Panasonic G30 because of the rainbow effect. As predicted I am now seemingly unable to use ANY plasma panel. Despite initial good results with the Samsung D7000/D7005, further testing revealed the same problem, only less pronounced and actually more "rainbowy" compared to the mostly green trails on the Panasonic.
Compared to the perceived stability of a LCD screen, there is no way I would ever take a chance on Plasma again. Too bad really considering the bang for the buck that they provide. But I guess that at the end of the day it’s a bit of a first world problem.
So I guess I am truly back to square one now. CCFL LCDs are all but gone and the LED LCD models aren’t just plagued by clouding and other backlight problems but are also relatively quite expensive, especially when compared to plasma. I might have to spring for a Sony 46EX503 display model. It has its fair share of problems, like an enormous input lag, but has DVB-T2 and at least you can bear to watch it.
OLED can’t arrive fast enough. Just saying.
