I think the settings in the Panasonic TV got one function to clear image retention. Not sure about older models.
If don't have try to switch to sports channel. Football or F1 is a good channel to start.

v20 dont have that function .
im trying to clear it by setting max contrast and playing some bds

You can try playing some stagnant white color on your media player or bluray.

hmm the IR prob ehh...in due time it may go away...lots of sources lots of ways claiming one over the other in thenet regarding ir.

but i think the middle ground we can find in all of those is the per said go easy on your tele for 1st 100-200 hrs. or may be referred as "break in period" or some thing.

so until then use it accordingly, dont play images that will remian static for long periods and all the other DO's and Dont's.i my self use it sparingly and avoid the non hd content so far.

Can scroll the display do the job? Im not so sure. Somebody said we can play the break in video to wipe out the IR.

To all Panasonic Fan, do you all mind to share your TV calibration here? Maybe it can give me and others the idea how to get a best calibration. I know there is discussion about it, but i'm not pro enough to do it by myself.

Guys,

I am stuck which one to grab wether THP42U30K or THL42U30K since the price not so much different.

Plasma or LCD?

My used for :

1) Layan bola HD @ Astro byond
2) play movie files avi/mkv from 3rd party media player
3) still concern about heat & power consumption cause from my understanding plasma give more heat & consume more power than lcd but give better picture quality? am i right?

THP42U30K = RM1600 @ best denki, KLCC
THL42U30K = RM1650 @ best denki, KLCC

help me please?

hmm as a plasma user i would say plasma .


plasma may be a bit reflective in ambient light condition, but then again this depends on how each person feels when viewing some thing and how comfortable/discomfort our eyes be with them.

but anyway main reason ive chose the plasma instead of lcd/led is the viewing angle.turns me off when the what im watching changes with viewing angle(ala laptop screen or pc lcd/led monitor). but anyway its up to you to feel comfortable with wch one.price wise not much to choose from.

I'm considering getting the L42E3K or L42E30K for viewing in my room as well as using it as a secondary PC gaming monitor. Anyone know what's the response time for these 2 models? Is input lag noticeable, espeically on fighting games where 1-frame link is concerned?

it is 50hz panel vs 100hz panel.

overall, L42E30 colour quality is superb.

SenQ in One Utama is selling 50U30K Plasma for 4599
The girl standing beside the TV says its a brand new TV?
Then i say what is the old model then.
X series she says. OMG

hahahaha, mesti amoi tu cun...hahahah =))

salesman or salesgirl always advise us to opt lcd or led. "bro, plasma technology lama. skrg teknologi baru bro, go for led."

then when ask about techie comparison. blur...?

Not to be sexist but from what i've observed, the girl is for 'attraction' purpose; the prettier she is, the more of a 'decor item' she'll be

Wah you confirm is correct model?
Or the TV comes with the girl together?

yeah senq, sen heng mmg expensive IF you no have their member card.

Cant find any VT30K in pg. Onli got ST.

Me: Wow...the 50U30K is back in stock
Girl: Ya ya...this is the latest model
Me: Latest model? This model has been around for very long already wor
Girl: No no...this is the latest one
Me: Is this Plasma?
Girl: Yes
Me: <Looking at the price tag> This TV selling for 4599 ar?
Girl: Yes
Me: If you say this is the new model, which one is the older model to this TV
Girl: The X Series
Me: <Talking to my wife> This one is the one i want to buy with Full HD
Girl: The X Series also got Full HD and non Full HD one but this one Full HD onli

Me walking away after knowing this girl does not know anything.
FYI, its not a hot looking girl. Just a plain mid 30 to late 30s girl standing there beside the TV promoting the 'NEW' model

Sorry for not making my question clear. Actually, what I'm interested to know is the response time in ms, not the refresh rate in Hz. Most LCD monitors have a response time between 2ms to 5ms but LED/LCD TV usually have response time that are much higher due to the size. Anyone with a clear idea on what the response time for L42E30K is?

normal la tuh, sales men/women. every shop oso do punya i mean then what else they are hired for.but among some of them there are the ones who really knows about the tech stuff and etc etc to advise further and not just push for that sales.

Suddenly Plasma TH-P42U30K out of stock.

Best Denki, Courts, & Harvey Norman all out. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

not suddenly, it was like that in november.the ones that have bought it ever since searched every where(me included)
