Six new plasma display panels sparkle and shine.

s I sit and write this review, I

can’t help but feel that I’m in some

kind of Orwellian nightmare —

surrounded by large, flat-panel dis-

plays showing larger-than-life talk-

ing heads. Of course, the nightmare is

quickly dispelled when I turn up the

volume on my surround-sound sys-

tem to hear one of these heads dis-

cussing the Mobile Azalea Festival.

(It was the only PBS HDTV program-

ming loop!)

The reason for this Big Brother-

like experiment is Video Systems’

fourth annual plasma panel roundup.

The location was (once again) the

somewhat cramped confines of my stu-

dio, which proved big enough to handle

six plasma display panels in sizes

ranging from 42 inches to a mammoth

61 inches.

The panels tested this year repre-

sent models introduced in the past six

months. A few of them had their offi-

cial coming-out parties at NAB 2001

and Infocomm 2001. There was no

particular system involved in select-

ing the panels. I basically asked for a

particular panel; if it was available, I

got it; if not, the manufacturer sent

something else along. As a result, I

wound up with a mixed bag of en-

trants.

Fujitsu dropped off its new PDS-

4229 “econo” plasma, a 42in., 16:9

panel with competitive pricing plus a

host of features. From Sampo, I re-

ceived the PME-42V3, a 42in., 16:9

multimedia panel for the home the-

ater and consumer market, but also at

home in a professional A/V setting.

Sony was represented by its PFM-

42B1 panel, a 42in., 16:9 design that

sparked the plasma price wars. This

model is in high demand for profes-

sional and high-end consumer use.

There were some big boys playing

in this tournament, too. Panasonic

finally produced its long-awaited TH-

50PHD3U, a 50in., 16:9 plasma panel

holding the promise of the same high

performance as the 42in. design. Pio-

neer arranged to have one of its first

50in., 16:9 PDP-503CMX panels

dropped at my doorstep, while NEC

Technologies figured out a way to

pack and ship one of its super-sized

PlasmaSync 61MP1 61in., 16:9 pan-

els for the festivities.

Several manufacturers and indi-

viduals provided additional support

for this review, and some thanks are

in order. Clint Hoffman and Dave

Bright of Kramer Electronics gra-

ciously sent over one of Kramer’s new

16x16 RGBHV audio matrix switch-

ers to handle the 14 different five-

wire and three-wire video/computer

feeds. This switcher works well, and

handled the rat’s nest of wires with no

sweat.

Tom Nelson of NEC Technologies

drove about 150 miles to my studio to

help unpack and set up the 61MP1

plasma panel (it’s really big!), while

Cliff Plavin of Progressive Labs spent

a few hours determining precise color

coordinates for the different panels,

allowing me to get accurate color tem-

perature measurements. Finally, Josh

Kairoff of Pioneer came in for a day to

explore and explain the features of

the PDP-503. Thanks, guys!

The line-up

Again, here are the contenders:

Fujitsu’s PDS-4229 ($6,999)

plasma panel appears to be in the

same category as the Sampo design,

although it may have more of a con-

sumer focus. The connector comple-

ment is not as large on this 852x480
