I saw a colorimetry chart somewhere on the Web and it showed the Plasma phosphors being nearly identical to a CRT, it had a little more range in each direction but not a whole lot.

My previous HD set was a Sony rear LCD projector, it made pictures in exactly the same way as the old three strip technicolor, one chip for each color, that set probably had the most vivid and accurate looking color of any set I've seen, it even did shades of yellow superbly, unfortunately the black levels were atrocious.

I found my BD copy of Robin Hood tonight and made some screen shots, however as usual the digital camera images come out much brighter than the actual image on the set and there are some vertical line artifacts, still they give some idea of the color spectrum.

Set is a three month old Panasonic Plasma, calibrated only by my eyeballs.
