i was keen on the TH37PX70 but was disappointed with this:

It's nothing like that in real life. I played Halo on it without problems

Thanks, I've never experienced that on my TV, I got it in May and have played on my 360 more or less every day, especially on Gears and have never seen any issues worth reporting.

would you say its pretty much as good as CRT for gaming? motion-wise

Er yeah, I think its fantastic. I honestly can't fault it, my 32" LCD is pretty poor in comparison.

Couldn't recommend it enough

I can do some 'home' vids of it if you wish?

Simon · 27 Nov 2007 at 15:08

I think the capture rate of the camera videoing that screen doesnt help.

Similar to how CRTs flicker when on camera

that would be cool if recording it works, thanks!

i like the idea of the PX70, if it can handle divx/SD as well as hi-def gaming i'd be happy to buy

also, what about image burn/retention?

Any news on where your missus got that wallpaper from.

Im after some black wallpaper with a patern on it just like that for my room.

Hope its not too expensive though. Found some the other day but it was £18.99 a roll

As with any plasmas I did notice some screen 'burn' after playing 700 odd games of PES, the score card could be seen if you looked really close on a black screen. I can't see it at all now, it was something I worried about first but people advised me it was nothing to worry about, they were right.

Dude, I'll find out, she's just popped out to buy us some tea!! It was expensive though, like £30/£40 a roll!

I can't name the competitor on here! Its a catalogue store though

Bennah · 27 Nov 2007 at 19:41

Blimey, £30/£40 a roll... Better get half a roll then

so it did burn, but it went away quickly?

Andybtsn · 27 Nov 2007 at 20:21

Yep, but what plasma wouldn't burn with thousands of hours of PES action

is it cumulative? or can you simply change the channel every now and again and completely clear the problem?

Andybtsn · 27 Nov 2007 at 20:43

Yeah, it can be cleared easily.

Marcos · 28 Nov 2007 at 10:24

hmm, that screen is a strong contender, anything you dont like about it?

EDIT: Thats a point, how does gaming compare between the LCD and plasma you have? ignoring the size difference

Andybtsn · 28 Nov 2007 at 10:29

Errm, the controller is ugly

Marcos · 28 Nov 2007 at 13:00

just wondering, what can you do if you do burn the screen? are you just out of luck and need to buy a new screen?

Not sure tbh, sure someone on here can answer that for you.
