It's obvious who "doesn't know jack" about HDTV technology, and it's the ignorant individual above who has probably never seen a well-calibrated Fujitsu in person and therefore has no idea what great picture looks like.
"""...Fujitsu was never on the bleeding edge of this technology...Try Samsung, with more patents per year than any other company. They are the first to introduce an LCD with 25,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 120Hz rate, and who knows what other inventions that justify the extra expense."""
Perhaps you've forgotten (or were ignorant of the fact) that Fujitsu, in 1992, introduced the world's FIRST plasma television. This is back when Samsung was suckling at the teet of bargain basement VCRs and 13" TV/VCR combos that were closeout junk.
Your precious Samsung stood on Fujitsu's shoulders to build their plasma televisions.
Perhaps you should google "carbon nanotube technology" and recognize the revolutionary technology Fujitsu was working on in that area before making this decision to leave the HDTV market.
With Fujitsu, the customer was guaranteed a 3 year warranty (unheard of from other brands), tip-top video processing, excellent customer service, and the pride of owning the best.
You obviously have no idea what you're talking about, since you'd rather quote your Samsung's dynamic contrast ratio than talk about Fujitsu's legitimate commitment to (and achievement of) excellence.
Right on the money my friend. The above poster is obviously fairly new to the home theater arena because anyone who's been in this hobby should know that Fujitsu arguably the reference standard for plasma picture quality -- 3~4 years if I remembered correctly. Nothing but great write ups about their pic quality from respected editors such as Tom Norton.
Fujistsu just didn't have the capacity to compete with the larger OEMs in the now commodity plasma market. Certainly their plasma became overpriced in the last few years but that doesn't mean they were technically inferior. Far from it.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
