ST50 model has pixel orbiter function which move the whole screen every few minits.
i find by keep the color tone in yellowish (not pure white) will lessen the chance

Someone want to sell only 1.5k.. but can choose either one only.. time is running out  icon_question.gif

sorry, i cant make decision for u.
if u buy this TV for mainly HD content and future proof, surely go for L50EM5K becos it is simple full HD tv.
beside that, P50XT is plasma tv. it is not easy to take care (very susah & leceh in fact)

i found the wifi adapter behind st50 smile.gif it is removeable and can be attached to standard usb male-female extension.
bluetooth however use special kind of connector, so no chance to mod it

Anyone upgrading their Panasonic Active Shutter 3D glasses to the "rechargeable" type and interested to sell off the basic "battery" type glasses which come inside the package with the TV???
*

no plan to sell mine tongue.gif
actually i think coin battery is easier to maintain than rechargeable.
becos worry the recharge cycle become weak
btw, got 1 seller here http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2771668/all

near middle bottom section if view from back, got wording "wireless lan adapter"
remove 1 screw, then it pull down.
go pc shop buy long usb male--female extension

QUOTE(Mea Culpa @ Apr 30 2013, 07:01 AM)
The reason i said so is becoz the way plasma is being setup in the bright showrooms. They were set at torch mode for 3000 hrs. Its not about the price im worried.  For led tv im fine.
I wont b surprised if the tv has lots of static burns.
*

same thought, image retention is not cover by warranty

i find myself best way to reduce 24hz motion judder on ST50 plasma is use PNR function (auto)

intelli frame creation=off for 60hz movie only
intelli frame creation=low is not effective enough, graphic pecah
intelli frame creation=mid is much better
intelli frame creation=high feel like fast forward, my eye cannot catch up

aww...does that mean its a bad move or a good move to get plasma now? I am worried if there wouldn't be any replacement parts if the tv ever breaks down. The plasma division has stopped R&D, but will still continue producing parts?  Please tell me there is still hope. I don't wanna end up with an empty brick if anything ever goes wrong with my plasma.
*

read around the good and bad of plasma first. go shop to find out is it really suitable?
Aeon still have stock, 3200 as told by forummer 2 weeks ago

get it for the price of 3000 range, very worth.
dont pay the extended warranty, becos u already know why

After searching the web, the "Custom" mode in US version should be the "True Cinema" mode in Malaysia version.
But the setting range may be different.
May try this setting from UK version, which is from the www.hdtvtest.co.uk
*

myself is using this setting to ST50 too. it solved the over Red tone in true cinema mode.

i also apply the same setting to Normal & Cinema mode by changing the colour tone to Warm because they produce virtually similar with true cinema mode, except i lose colour management.
now i can easy switch 3 different contrast setting for morning (2.2 gamma), night (2.4 gamma) & eco (2.6 gamma)

btw, i found using aspect ratio "Just" is better than 16:9 in stopping judder and interpolation thumbup.gif
especially for PS3 user who cannot change 60hz output except during Bluray 24hz playback

before this was terrible. now i can enjoy downloaded movie with "intelli frame creation" & PNR turn off
