Just bought a 50U20K at Jusco Queensbay Mall an hour ago.

RM3799 + RM303.92 (3 Years Extended Warranty) = RM4103.90 (Total of 5 Years Warranty)

Since today is Jusco member day, I get RM410 voucher rebate (RM10 for every RM100 spent), so basically I'm paying around RM3700 for my unit. Quite a good deal to me if you ask me.

There was another roadshow display by Panasonic at the center zone as well, RM3899 inclusive of 5 Years Warranty but I opted for the Jusco package instead because of the voucher and nearly RM200 cheaper.

As my unit will only be delivered to my house this Sunday, I'd like to ask the sifu's here if there's anything that I need to watch out during the early stage. I'm a bit concern of the potential burn mark though as my family be watching Astro SD mainly for the time being before I subscribe to Astro Beyond and getting Blu-Ray at a later time.

Hi all,

I just got my 50u20k panny plasma yesterday and would really appreciate it if someone could help me out with some calibration numbers. Have really no idea where to start but factory settings seems to be not so nice when background is bright. Colours seem to run a bit.

I'd like to know that as well since I just got my 50U20K too. And what do you guys recommend for the burn in? I'm using the picture slides from the THIS WEBSITE to burn in my unit. Not sure if it's any good.

I had the brightness and contrast set at 50 only as well for the current burn in period. Is that conservative enough?

Since I know my equipment are reliable and wouldn't stop midway showing the slides or stuck with one slide, I just let it burn with default contrast etc. No point wasting time and just get it over ASAP.

Well, 200 hours is quite a long time though. It will take more than 8 days even if I burn it for 24hours per day. And that kind of ticked off my parents a little bit since they can't really enjoy watching astro for now as they had to constantly switching channels every now and then to reduce the risk of image retention and burn mark of the channel logo. They think that it's ridiculous in having to "condition" the TV for that long before can really enjoy it, but I'd rather be safe than sorry after dropping close to RM4K on it.
