Normal - 1 GB MicroSD with SD Adapter. Do you think this matter ??

Not sure. Do you have another SD card you can try? Maybe one without using adapter?

Tested with MicroSD HC 8GB with SD Adapter. No luck for AVCHD viewing and playback but I can see the JPG photo

Hmm. JPG photos are working. That means the problem is with AVCHD files.

What is the source of your AVCHD files? Please run "Media Info" on your files and share them here ...

Check Media info:

what is good price for 42 and 50v20k..>?

Just had a good 15 minutes or so with the 50VT20 in 3D mode. After that felt like puking.

Where can I check the production date? If it is behind the TV, it will be very difficult as my V20K is already wall mounted.

Allycat

it is at the back panel. if you bought it in June , the production should be in april and if recently the production date should be June or July.

It was delivered in mid-July. So I guess it must be either Apr or May production.

Blade63,
Mine was the same batch as yours. Do you know the production date? Appreciate your infor if you can still check or remember.

Tks
Allycat

Added on August 9, 2010, 10:42 amShot off a love email to Panasonic this morning. To their credit, their technician responded within the hour.

But as some forummers expected and warned me, they lay the blame on Byond and the BD palyer settings. Told him, that it couldn't be Byond as I don't see it on my previous LG set. Then he said I've to manipulate the settings on the BD player. I replied that there are no more settings that I can try on the player.

Also told him I'm willing to test it out with them on my old LG set.

I higlighted to him that these problems have been widely discussed in forums, and I've been warned to receive such std replies from Panasonic.

So he quickly cut the discussion short and will contact me again.

Will update again after their next feedback.

Allycat, as stated on the sticker at the back of my TV, it stated JULY/2010. Anyway enjoyed watching those movies downloaded from internet (DVD-SD resolutions) via USB thumbdrive and must say that the contrast and black level is fantastic. cheers

Tks, Blade63. So mine will also be July 2010.

I agree the contrast and black level is very good.
