[Avid-L2] Re: flat screen gotchas

We have 3 Panasonic TH-42PF11UK Plasma displays w/TY-FB10HD HD-SDI cards that we use in our grading suites. Also have one 37" model. We've been able to tweak them to be a virtual match for our Sony CRT's. We and our clients are very pleased and I would recommend them.

Delay is part of the plasma landscape. We delay at the mixing board that is used for audio monitoring.

The main "gotcha" with these is that they consistently show some artifacting when displaying SD content. It was not present in the last generation of the same monitor. We've been in touch with Panasonic about it, but they have not solved it yet. We work almost exclusively in HD so it hasn't been a problem. But your workflow may dictate a cautious approach.
