Pioneer PureVision PRO-1110HD Plasma TV reviewed, myths ensue

Pioneer's new 50-inch HDTV plasma has been reviewed by ExtremeTech and scored some decent marks.  That's all good, but our problem with the review is its writer's insistence on continuing to perpetuate more plasma myths.  Within the first couple paragraphs, the reviewer is crooning about burn in and price — two things that people love to bitch about when it comes to plasmas.  The reality is that Plasmas have been around long enough that burn-in is no longer an issue of concern, and they are now available for under $2000.  The review also states that they always test displays at their native resolution.  In this case, the PRO-1110HD's native resolution sports a vertical count of 768 lines, yet the reviewers drop a 480-line DVD
into a player and follow it up with a 1080i baseball broadcast.  They talk a good talk, bringing up IRE and false contouring, but in the end they come off as a bunch of PDP myth-builders, mentioning the display technology's shortcomings at every opportunity.  Boo.
