My ramblings about this CEDIA Show

[Digital Dude]

I haven't them all but the Laserview is mindblowing true blacks. You know Pioneer is sourcing plasma panels from Panasonic since they are shuttering their plasma plant?

I seriously doubt anything can touch it. Todayis my last day so I'll reserve judgement but I can't imagine a better CR.

Further ramblings, CEDIA is shrinking. There fewer exhibitors and way fewer attendees. Next year the Expo moves to "Hot-lanta" for 3 years. Hot and humid, bleech! The following 3 years will be in the hotter and more humid Dallas, bleech. The following 3 years is expensive Anaheim, oh goody gumdrops!

Well, at least I might be able to get to it in 'Lanta.

I digress, my fav oritething to do at CEDIA is to look for the little guy. You know the type, a person takes out a second mortgage on their house to rent a booth to try and sell something new or different.

Know the type??! I was the type, and proved that sometimes gambles do not pay off. But they are still worth taking a chance. Here is a pic taken from one of our early shows. It did get more professional over time:

The 2009 (current) Pioneer plasmas are still made in their own factory. Next year Panasonic opens its new 10G plant and will make the panels for Pioneer to Pioneer specs. It is of course speculation as what it will end up doing to the Pioneer picture, but I bet they improve it with 10 lumen tech that will make Plasma as bright as LCD for fully lit rooms. They also claim they will have 0 lumen tech too for complete blacks. All this of course remains to be seen if they can do it.

I tried to find this company, but the bolscd.com does not resolve.

Also, did you see any HDMI over Coax systems. I know belkin and Gefen have been working on products to do this.

I was wondering if you could expand upon your thoughts on the LaserVue. I've been following the LaserVue thread over at AVS and it's mostly just press releases and speculation, etc. One person says that they saw it and their impression appeared to be the opposite of yours with regards to black levels. They were also complaining of either Silk Screen Effect or the Screen Door Effect.

So I'm curious if you can address any of those issues, from your perspective, based upon what you saw. I'm especially curious as to the black levels.
