the IR problem really quite serious it seems....and Samsung know all about the problem...

current users...how to watch Astro (4:3 format) on this TV? cant watch more than 2 hrs at a time?

Hi guys,

i found two washed out, slightly pinkish pixels on my screen yesterday nite. it's not noticeable but was wondering if it would lead to something more serious?

and there is also one bright red blinking flashing pixel which was there yesterday night after a few hours of movies and it's gone this morning ..

hmmmm .. is that normal?

Can be found here bro Samsung 50B650 Firmware

But the version 1.0 in samsung M'sia website is only a guide right? It's not the firmware. The Firmware is 2.005 no?

How much is the 63in sammy plasma RRP?

No complaints as yet.

It has only run for about 16hrs or so. It has a web interface that allows u to check the hrs using a computer in the same network.

It is breaking in pretty well. The sharpness is becoming better. The pixel noise is also improving.  The one thing is the "Pure" Mode with Colour space 2 gets the colours pretty accurate out of the box.

In my opinion, the Kuros take about 100hrs or so to settle down. Then they shine.

HD using Astro b.yond looks great.

I will calibrate it once at 50hrs then again at 200hrs. Shd be good to go by then.

Done some viewing for BD and it looks phenomenal. The black levels definately are better than my 8G Kuro and its still new. The black levels will improve with time as well on this set.

SD also looks good.

It already looks small to me now. So the next upgrade will have to be a projector >100in screen! Maybe in a couple of years.

Yes... looks small to him

Bro anfieldude, I'm more than willing to get the KRP600M off your wall to make way for projector ok?

hahaha... was just kidding ler.. but if can get at RM15K for a 63", can really consider ler... 

just right for your new home bro....

Promo in KL?? Have to quickly go find new crib to cater for the 63" oledi ler... 
Bro, the firmware any differences? How is the IR, still see it?

Whoops correction, it is 63PSB680, not B650.

Dunno why but I dun see the purplish AR filter on this B680 but on the 50B650 it is very noticeable.

Foosh...taukeh Ronald upgrading...

Ooh...congrats taukeh Ronald...

Anyways, I dunno but the IQ on the 50" B650 looked better than the 63" B680 side by side...

IR for my panel has improved termendously!
been using my tv for bout 2 months now (i think)

it is hooked to my htpc and my contrast is rather high too. Setting is more or less the same as RonaldJoe gave me. Good setting! Just some little adjustments to suit my quirky taste.

not much IR. even if there is, it's easily removed.

just thought of sharing

sorry if im out of topic but can someone teach me how to update my b650 firmware?
and does it necessary to update in terms of updates and benefits?

Can I also have setting for this Tv?

Not a fanboy lah. If I can afford I'd get a KRP-500. I'd rather be a Pioneer fanboy but alas...

no need to wish..i'm getting this sammy model for CNY..would be honored if u willing to calibrate for me...can pm me ur cost..i hv a spears & munsil calibration bd too..

Gonna hook pioneer bdp320 & a POHD(for now) to this tv..

My loc in pj only...if u willing i'll be more than glad to hv sifu calibrate for me

Ronald bro,

i'm using the hudaman setting as well, just with some minor adjustment on the contrast, color, hdmi output, and some other minor settings which i dont remember.

i've updated my tv long ago, coz i cant seem to play big mkv files over LAN and after the update it worked. and the tv works with NTFS as well!

i've watched dramas with the static log for hours, and even that the logo is not noticeable. even if it's visible it can be easily cleared off with the built in tool.

ar188,
yar man, mcD @ center point all using pioneer panels! dem envy. heh..

Hi,

Can someone tell me why is my plasma tv has this stripes from bottom to the top (fine black lines) about 3 inch in width?

Sometimes this stripes will go off but nowdays we cant get rid of it. How to fix this other than changing the whole display from samsung again!

Thanks.

Bought this 2 years ago. Cant afford to change. Connection problem like power cable? Did try unplug and plug but didnt go away. Could it be low or high power supply to my home?
