does this 600hz thingy carries any weight in selecting a plasma tv??

what does it do?? refresh rate?

ya i doubt so but my brother in law inssit he saw the ad somewhere lol maybe weekend will drop by Harvey Norman to ask.. he also cant remember the model number lol


it's for the speed of changing image, usually got for action movie and sport =) i'm not sure how to elobrate it but this is what i know it's for hahahaha

This is not the actual viewing refresh rate. Just to show the consumers that Plasma TV can achieve as high as 600Hz.

hoo thx for info.

No, its not the same as refresh rate. Its a sub field drive.

And no, it shd not carry any weight. Plasmas will refresh faster than LCDs, also, it will be closer to how the CRT refreshes.

anyone know how to check hour of usage in TH-L42E3K?

Where got the VT30? been seeing a lot of advert in the papers but haven't seen one yet. HN Ikano also don't have.

yea, finally the TH-P50VT20K (oli tv + 1 pc 3d glasses) arrived.
(story: some dishonest shop sold me demo unit of P50V20K, i kept komplaint they dun wan to tiao me.. then i file complaint to Panny malaysia, in 4 hours time they call back and promised a replace + upgrade to VT20K instead. I pay 5.9k (tv + pwp digicam) on march for it, and till now baru get replaced ... definitely not untung but oso not rugi teruk ....)

now gotta break in the plasma .... seems no gaming for me for next 100-150hours

btw, I download the break in images on evangelos angelides (http://www.eaprogramming.com) and load it into SD card, then pop to my tv ....
somehow it still show 20 images inside but between each file got 'file cannot be displayed' .... weird ... anyone encounter that problem ?

so best not to play games on a plasma tv for the 1st 100 or so hrs??

that's for preventing IR issue....
and most game i play always have static energy bar/HUD and I do play for long hours.

read some article that u need to kinda exercise the plasma phosphor during first 100-200hrs. then do calibration for optimal viewing result.

hoo ive read a little about the 100 hrs or soo too but what about this calibration??i mean is it safe just to use the presets they have mcmc muvi/games etc etc?

i read from some site (which i kenot recalled the url) it said if u hire those professional to calibrate your tv,
one of the prerequisite is your panel must have run like 100-200hr...

according to most site, they'll advise u to reduce the brightness/contrast, remove torch mode, etc
for the break in period at least

i oso not sure whether should i turn on the THX mode during break in anot ... now breaking in w THX mode off.

I asked about VT30 from a shop today, they say it's made from Thailand compared to VT20 which is made in Japan, just asking here to make sure if it's true.

speaking from my own experience, if your games have static bars/hud/etc. for prolonged gaming sessions (e.g. >2 hours per day), you may still end up with IR of those static images even though you break-in past the 100-200 hrs mark. so to prevent IR build-up, snow wash or run the slides at regular intervals.

Added on July 21, 2011, 5:40 pmI could be wrong, but I seriously doubt the panels are manufactured in Thailand, esp for their higher-end panels. Assembled in Thailand, maybe.

DId you try loading on your PC, is it fine, just to double confirm.

ANd then check the format of the sdcard; ntfs or fat32. might want to try with fat32.

I have no problem reading my 1Tb external disk

thanks for the reply ...
apparently mac screw things up
it create '.' (dot prefix jpg) in the folder ... i think for some trash restore feature ...
now okay ledi

Hmm but the shop say the 65VT30 is going to be slightly cheaper than 65VT20. Wonder why the price of 65VT20 is still quite high compared to 50VT20 which has dropped a lot compared to its origianl price.

Hey..what do u guys thin about this model? Panasonic TH-P42U30K..now got promotion Rm2699 free home theatre system..

There's 3 42" models at Mydin Hypermart USJ Subang, (I think one of them is as above) at lower price than mentioned (no freebies of course).

VT30 made in Thailand ar . not so nice lah . could it be the ST series ?
the panel for VT and even ST series is made in Japan

at least the V20 is made in singapore and the built quality looks nice
