I think is one off only, poor quality control in the factory

Kindly share your Serial # with me via PM. Thanks

Very possibly a panel issue or board issue (vertical assy). So they might either replace the panel, board or exchange the set.

For the budget mention, you can get P42X28K or P42A28K

Wah....you got worse problem than mine, my set don't have buzzing sound or line.

But at least I think these 2 problems can be solved by hardware.

Added on August 6, 2010, 10:05 amI tried to downgrade my Byond to 720p as suggested in US forum, but no improvement and picture quality was unsatisfactory. So now waiting for Panasonic's fedback.

For those interested in the UK and US forums on this defect, I'll post the links here:

Allycat,

Did the panasonics reps mentioned when they will get back to you. Need to remind them.

No, but I give them 1 week. I shall remind them on Monday.

Allycat May I know which month for u V20K production date?

Why until today nobody getting Panasonic largest Plasma?

If money is just a figure for you or you don't mind to pay extra, try to get Panasonic Plasma 150".


Compared to 103", now you know the different.

1 plus point for this 150" Plasma, the resolution is 4k x 2k. You are right, it is 4 times the 1080i/p.

You may need a pretty huge AV room to place this gigantic ideas for life™ gadget

For those using projector now, should not have any problem.

Do anybody knows how to activate the 600hz for sports viewing?. Look thru the manual, there is no mentioned of 600hz activation. can any sifu helps, really appreciate it.

I believe 600hz is always on.

Any Sifus can share with me on how to playback the AVCHD via SD or USB in V20K ?? THANK YOU !

If movies downloaded from the internet as .mkv files, then it need to encode in AVCHD format to play back on the tv. did not actually test that yet. But after encoded in AVCHD and burn in DVD5 blank disc, playable in Panasonic and Sony bluray players.

regards

lifting this display up is like lifting up a huge piano.

the display cost a bomb too.enough for you to buy a high end car.
i'm sure with that budget, people will just go for projector.

What I can gather from AV forums is that the 600Hz has nothing to do with motion interpolation. It doesn't help at all to improve motion blur etc.

For details, just google "plasma 600Hz".

From the Panasonic site, it will be on if you use the Cinema mode.

Added on August 7, 2010, 6:03 pmI have no problems playing my Canon's video camera SD card with V20K's SD slot directly.

Folder structure:

SD CARD
|
PRIVATE
|
AVCHD
|
STREAM
|
- All the MTS files

Not sure if that will help you.

Thanks. Well, it's not working for my unit

What type of SD card do you have?

I've tried 32GB SDHC Class 4 (Sandisk Ultra 2), 8GB SDHC Class 4 (Toshiba), 2GB SD Class 2 (Kingston). All can be recognised correctly.

Also, what happens when you insert the SD card into the V20K? Mine actually displays the thumbnails of the videos or photos, depending on the contents.
