astro(no hd/3d, normal punya)
game(ps3)

does this scare about plasma tvs image burn out(not sure the right term) a concern??

how often does it happened or more right whats the chances of it happening per say used continously to play games ka etc etc

any one here using this plasma tv -->TH-P42U30K , hows the tv, any hicks, pros/cons?

btw is this model is a full hd model??(it says so in the specs but im not that sure what is true and what is a sales pitch)

hoo thx.actually i just wanted to get the confirmation it is the full1080 hd.this u series plasma is the only one i can find that fits my budget for a plasma tv.

a lot of tvs alot of models, main question still remains anyone know any good dealers with good prices??online or offline or shops.i know we cant get them that cheap but a dollar off here and there helps a lot.

guys can give any suggestion on the type of cloth best used to clean ur tv set?

i know there is a certain type but not sure of the name wch its called, helps remove dust better then normal towels/cloth and at the same time wont leave any scratches on the screen.

guys anyone know if the Panasonic th42U supports RGB Full Range or limited??

we all have some sort of knowledge on IR/burn ins.but on what scale or what signs on the tv is considered as IR/burn ins??

take my set for example, when i test it out with the coloured full screen images from the break in images i dont notice anything, any mark, shape, word, ghosting images etc.same goes if its in static.now if turn my ps3 on, play a game also i notice nothing.and ive done all this with variable contrast/brightness settings, stood very close to the telly and far too, and still nothing.

but when i switch to the next hdmi channel(hdmi2), if you stood really close i do notice a faint "ghosting like" images of the tvs on screen menu's etc(menu, volume bar).so does this constitute as IR/burn ins??

as newbie user myself, i agre plasma has some perks and downs, same goes to led/lcd.

in my case, the viewing angle put me off for the led/lcd.thus me chooisng plasma over lcd/led.

holy crap!!not even 2 months yet and i see a weird thin black line on my plasma!!

thats it im callin in the warranty.damn im furious!!

what you guys think??screen/plasma prob??(since i also have tried the usual things, switch off, power cord etc etc).also im quite sure thats not IR.

oo, that was my initial thought also.well anyway at least it happened when the tv's age is less then 2 months old.warranty still full swing on.

Well if its terminal and cant be done anything maybe kowt.but i doubt there is any stocks left.but i do hope they can do some thing since i do love that model and tv.

so who do i demand to?the shop or the manufacturer?and if they dont have the same model then how?

owh that sounds good.i certainly dont want a lower model like the X/D/DT/E series since im a fan of plasma.but again who i ask for if the need arises??the shop i bought or the manufacturer?

what do you mean?do you mean they will reapir it or do you mean these kind of damage they wont repair instead replace a new set??

i see.well i do hope things turn out for the best.either they repair it or replace it.

any of you guys here has any experinace on requesting/demanding a replacement for your tele??

i mean how its done?do we have to wait a rep from manufacturer come and see whats the problem first or we can straight claim for new one based on how long the tele was with us irrelevant of the what ever the damage is?

do miracles happen??well today as i was fiddling with my ps3, all of sudden that panel prob was gone....left me dumbfounded....re tested again, played a few games and still the line was gone.....

before this when im in my xmb menu i can see the line clearly but now kapish gone....sure is weird..but still just to be on the safe side im still calling that pana tech come and look.

nah, the line was there even with the ps3 turned off, hdmi cable disconnected and was apparent on all channels(av1,2,3 hdmi1,2,3,pc, tv, and sd card).it was there with those things connected and turned on too.

but suddenly it disappeared and until now no sign of anything....some thing went loose inside the tv??i dont know im just puzzled by its sudden "self healing".

well when it comes to machinery humans built, we NEED to know why it went wrong in the first place.its not some thing humanly or other worldly for it to resolve by self lol!

for now it looks fine, but i dont want to be in sticky when it happens again.thats the reason for me to know what actually happened (also there may be the fact that im an engineer and it bugs the hell out of me to know the cause )

hope so like that.im totally in love with mah tele, and i do hope it stays fit and healthy, no more weird signals of sakit
