It also depends on how high you set the contrast to be, typically it's not really an issue now as the logo won't stay during commercials and the logo is kinda pixelated so it isn't really the same image all the while

For movie channels, the logo is there for hours. I notice HBO and Star Movie logos are there premanently. Moreoever, a movie can last upto 2 or 3 hrs plus. Wouldn't it be an issue?

Ya. I cant find such great price here in PG. V series consider a high end model, y cant the price stay much longer.

thanks mate

Yup, is from Best Denki during road show at One U. Dunno now the offer is over or not, u can try call the One U branch.

Ah, yes. now I remember you mentioning something like that the last time. I had to adapt mine as it wasn't a Malaysian set, now i recall. I will amend my earlier post accordingly. thanks bro.

....YES, and i was also told that if u do not want the blueray player and the HT set, the price is $3999 for the 42V20K model.

Any promotion for 50v?

So not cool, my brand new (less than 48 hours) P50U is not turning on, I get 10 red LED blinks, why?

50V is also on 'promotion', but i couldn't recall the exact figure after taking out the HT set.

That sucks!

Possibilities:

- your TV remote control is faulty
- you have other remote controls/infrared source that could be interfering (unlikely)
- your TV is faulty

Maybe you can try to reseat the batteries in your remote control and see if that helps.

Otherwise, you'll probably need to collect on your warranty.

so much for japanese quality

if you watch this thread closely you're gonna catch quite a few forumer posting various problem with their set that ultimately required a warranty claim. it's been happening quite frequently even with the venerable v20

It's nothing to do with the remote, I did some Google and it's called the 'blinking lights of dead' LOL

I can only hope that it last as long as my previous Sony CRT

surprised to hear few problems on panasonic tvs hmmmm since most of them are my assembled...is the QC is low? compare to other brands?

Hi anfield,

With ref to your recent post on "Samsung C6500 owners thread, Everything regarding C6500", I would like to know further abt this 50Hz issues:

Does these symptoms happen to Panny V20 as well? or is it better in black levels when the Cinema Smooth is on since the V20 has its Infinite Black feature to compensate the lost (black levels deteriorate) in comparison with c6500 (this model without the so-called Real Black Filter of Sammy)?

Thanks a lot.

The panny V20 does not hv elevated blacks for 50Hz material but does have some artefacting.
The cinema smooth function in sammy elevates black levels for 24p material.

Is the U series is equivalent to the S series in 2009?

i was wondering have anyone actually compared purely the audio quality of the 50X n 50U n 50V?

Guys, my plasma will reach 200hrs today. What kind of settings that I should use (contrast, brightness, etc) after 200hrs onwards? I mainly use it for BD-rip(bkup) movies with my popcorn.

Slightly inferior specs to the S series technically speaking, if I remember correctly. There's still S20 series in some other countries but they did not bring that model into Malaysia. Probably bacause it will cannibalise into the V20 series (which is technically the G20 of the EUR specs). In 2009, most customers overwhelmingly preferred the S10 to the G10 series.
