It's surprise to see Best Denki can give this price, it's even lower than the average small shops outside..

precisely!
if best denki could quote that kind of price, maybe outside shops could quote even lower.

got mine today

For those posting on this thread about calibration. the notion seem to be that we are all looking for that magic numbers that will automatically turn our TV from a great tv into the perfect tv PQ-wise (or close to a perfectly calibrated tv at least).

our calibration sifu anfieldude would have to chip in on this, but my view is that you won't be able to get there by just adjusting those parameters. panels differ even on same models, due to different production batches and continuous evolution throughout the model's life-cycle. your viewing environment also plays a major part. hardcore guys even have different settings for day-viewing and night-viewing. also, a calibration is not a "do once and forget it" exercise. you will need to re-calibrate at different stages of your tv's lifespan.

so a "standard" calibration numbers that you asks of may not apply universally. if it were that straight-forward, there would be no scope left for professionally trained ISF-certified calibrators. Lastly, preference is a different animal altogether, so should not be brought into the equation since "your" preference has no part to play in a calibrated-to-standard panel.

if you are serious about calibration (which one assumes you would be since a non-ethusiast would not even breathe such words), then you should at the very least do 2 things:

(1) read anfieldude's sticky thread on calibration on this forum, or similar articles that are aplenty on the net to acquiant yourself on the basic principles at least; and
(2) invest in a calibration disc (cost of a dvd or blu-ray). after all, you've spent thousands $$ on the tv already. the popular ones out there are Spears & Munsil (S&M) and Digital Video Essential (DVE). Better yet, if you have the financial means, get the Calman calibration software and colorimeter.

AND THEN do your own calibration instead of relying on other people's settings, as your mileage may vary. this is both an educational and rewarding process i assure you.
Anyway, for what's it worth, my V20 settings are as follows:

Contrast 65
Brightness +1
Colour 50
Sharpness 0
Tint 0
Eco Mode OFF
P-NR OFF
White balance : all "0"
Colour Management : all "0"
Gamma : 2.2

The last 3 settings are not easy to set with naked eyes and are usually done with a colorimeter. So i didnt touch the default settings.

On to a different matter. for those shopping for Panasonic tvs in Malaysia, I would seriously ask you to go to the Panasonic Malaysia website and check out the detailed specs for the models that are sold in Malaysia and not just rely on (mostly foreign) reviews out there on the net. The reason? The panels and specs are not the same globally even for the same model. Case in point - V20 in Malaysia is an Infinite Black panel, whereas in western countries they are Infinite Black Pro panels. My Hong Kong V20 model has a HD-tuner built-in and USB-hardisk recording feature (PVR) that is not found on Malaysian models. So buyer beware - caveat is on you.
I didnt download those slides to look in detail, but should be ok so long as they are at least 720p or preferably 1080p and fill up the entire screen without black bars on sides and/or bottom.

During my burn-in period, I had the contrast set at 35-40.

I read that you cannot see the difference between HD and FHD given that the screen size below 50"
The FHD is used to compensate the huge screen hence denser megapixel.

Secondly, the distance from your seating to the tv screen

Since I am also looking for new TV, I finally decided to go for Pana Plasma (42") HD
Now is deciding between the P42A28K or P42X28K

Budget   

Most PS3 games are natively 720p. You won't get better resolution from these PS3 games with FHD TVs.

However, if you mainly use PS3 for bluray movies, then you should get a FHD TV to fully appreciate 1080p. As per frostier's advice, your viewing distance is important to be able to differentiate between HD and FHD. With 42", you'll probably need to sit close (6-8 feet) to the TV to fully appreciate FHD.

The A28K is different in audio. Some said better sound quality. BUt the A28K is also no stock.

This is what I get from kevinc66 (jintexelectronics..com) RM1799
I think u just asked him in the forum.
