Plasma 3D TV

I have now used six different 3D TVs with Blu-ray 3D discs: four LCDs from three brands, and two plasmas from two brands. And I think I’d be safe in saying that I prefer plasma for 3D Blu-ray.

But it isn’t all one way. Both technologies suffer from irritating crosstalk. But the crosstalk has a different character for the two technologies. So far, from my experience LCD displays tend to show more crosstalk of darker objects on lighter backgrounds. That is, you tend to see a ghost around the darker object against the pale background.

But the reverse seems to be more the case with plasma TVs: darker objects tend to be displayed very cleanly (although not perfectly so) over light backgrounds, but light objects on dark backgrounds tend to have ghosts around them.

This seems to relate to the display technology, rather than the LC shutter glasses. I was previously using a Samsung LCD, and now I’m using a Samsung plasma, and my description above holds for them. But I used the same pair of shutter glasses for both TVs. Not just the same model, but the actual same set of eye wear.
