i'm forcing myself to adjust to the dark version. more about past familiarity why i say 'force'. i don't like change

but, it's easier on the plasma tv... longevity may be a concern if i own it for ~15-20 years. It's half way to 15 now. black is a 'resting state' if you will. white is full bore. plus, i think it will be easier on my eyes too.

i've always kept my desktop a solid black. the extra contrast could be a problem for a fresh out a box plasma, but not one that's well used. burn-in or etching doesn't happen with a modern plasma unless you thoroughly thrash it during the first 300 hours of use.

plasma > lcd.. pixel response time is 1000X faster.. hence you get ghosting effects with lcd and need some elevated and manufactured refresh rate to help combat it. if you cable comes at 60hz, how is a higher refresh rate helping beside post processing of data... it's like resizing 360p to 2160p and calling it 4k... no, it had 4k lines of reso, but it's upscaled crap, visually speaking. it's a true shame the "mob of the uninformed" bought lcd's and plasmas are basically undeveloped and soon to go the way of the dodo. at least with beta vs inferior vhs there were other reasons.. like sony being greedy AF. price point was actually cheaper for plasmas in the last decade.
