I just purchased sammy 50' C6500 today. Price is 5k (FOC HDMI), bought it at a shop in Bandar Baru bangi. Looks good, but havent really play around with it.
I tried to look for available firmware update, but I couldnt find any update for this model (PS50C6500TR). Also i did try to go into service menu (mute-1-8-2-power), but again fails. Anyone have any solution for this?

Added on May 22, 2010, 10:39 pmManage to go into service menu, but option for model (to change it to C8000) is greyed out. Means we asian are screwed, as always....

Edited: Attached C6500 settings.

this is the best samsung plasma full hd,

I think its the best before the 3D model (C7000 nad C8000).

A comment after 1 night of usage. I applied the settings i got from AVS forum (C7000), but decrease the contrast to 50 for a time being. Picture wise, colors are good and natural (based from hd channel and upscaled dvd). Black level is not as black as I wanted, but still is acceptable. Screen, as been mentioned in other forums, is quite reflective. Sometimes when I look hard enough, I can see my reflection.
Regarding IR, we watch a local chanel for about 2 hours with its bright logo on the right corner. After that, I can clearly see the logo printed on that part whenever I switch to completely dark screen. I run the white wash for a bout 20 minutes, and its still there. But after watching normal channel for couple of ours, its gone. You dont have to worry about IR, itsw there, but not permenently.

10k ringgit

10k for 58"? I last checked on Saturday it's RM10.5k for 58".

Just got it too. Still playing with te settings.

I attached here the settings that currently im using in my C6500. So far, this settings seems good. Appreciate if other forumers can give some comments regarding this settings, so we can get the best out from it.

hi, how come my 10 point white balance is greyed out???

Thanks for the settings.

But my 10 point are greyed out too.

The 10 points is only work in movie settings and standad (if I remember correctly, need to check later) (I know, silly of them).

The main reason why the 10point is only available in movie or standard is becoz only in those modes do the greyscale and gamma track normally. In the other modes, u normally have skewed gamma/greyscale, no adjustments in the 10point will bring it in, also by trying u mess it up even more.

ohh, ok. I just wish there is more than 2 setting where we can play around with the 10 point gamma. Right now they have 4, standard (good to blind your self when watching at night), standard, relax and movie. They should let the relax option to have the 10 point gamma settings too.

I saw the pre calibration charts for the C7000 for relax. Its tough to calibrate this properly. U will have clipping if u try.

just now i go ask samsung c6500 price is Rm4800 Tv+hdmi

If I'm sitting 10 feet away from the TV does it matter if I get a 50" full HD or HD ready panel?

hehehe just now go oder P50U20K Free BD player total price RM4000 Nett ... need wait 2 day .....

ask8900,

are you sure you got this unbelieveable low price? or is it the X model, better you reconfirm.

Kopisan,

Depend on the sources you are watching but a Full HD would be much better.

if ask8900 can get this price then it is a steal. You can straightaway get this. Worth every ringgit. Yest wifey wanted a 42" so I gatal gatal went to ask around 3 places also unable to match this price at all without all the freebies also. Totally bare unit with no HDMI cable given.
