WXmanTim 88 Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I don't know when they made the change, but KTRK has modified their news set. They've replaced the rear-projection monitor behind the anchors with a 3x3 grid of plasma monitors. Not terribly surprising as the RP image always looked rather muddied and dulled, especially with darker skyline shots.
Guest Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Makes sense. RP imagery is often, as stated, distorted and faded and these monitor arrays are becoming cheaper and cheaper.
Spring Rubber 716 Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Yeah, it seems like a lot of stations and national networks are abandoning RP in favor of plasma monitor grids.
sfomspphl 498 Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Meh...don't care much for the black grid lines. The seamless of the RP was better in my view. But where's the 2012 newsmat when you need it.
MorningNews 1498 Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Noticed a few weeks ago that the station removed the glass that covered the tv screens on both sides of the set. I like it.
