That's fast, I thought you need to reach 125 pages to start a new version?

Wanted to post my impressions on the U30 that I had the pleasure of calibrating last week.
The improvements over the U20 are better colour accuracy in TrueCinema mode. Blacks are better than the stock U20. Refresh rate of 24p material is 96Hz! The U20 was 60Hz so pulldown was done, this year no pulldown. The cons were, there is definately some energy savings being hard coded. I could not get the contrast as high as the U20. Also the gamma is not as accurate as the U20. Will post numbers of the black levels in the black level measurement thread. |

Hi guys,
Im still thinking whether to buy the panasonic plasma U30 unit. Anyone of you encountered or observed the lagging? I noticed this when it was compared side to side with the 42" UT30 which has 1080 lines moving picture resolution while the u30 has 900 only. Aside from that UT30 has 24p Smooth/Playback film compared with the U30's 24p Playback only. |

Smooth would mean that there is a motion interpolation option to refresh at 60Hz. I would think refreshing 24p in multiples of 24Hz would be a better picture. If u r looking for motion interpoloation then yes probably there is an extra option on the UT. |

Got my P65VT30.
After using it for a few days, these are my initial impressions: 1) It is a great TV with superb images and 3D performance. 2) So far I have not had any fluctuating brightness issues for my July 2011 manufactured TV. 3) Unlike my previous 42" Panny Plasma which was good to go straight out of the box, this TV has to be calibrated to produce better colours and performance. 4) Network Streaming and Viera Connect are really impressive. Works well out of the box and has really great potential. I am using UNIFI 5MB, and am streaming movies from the net at pretty good quality without buffering. 5) I will be skyping via the TV from now on as it is such a cool feature and so great to use. |

But I really noticed the lag when some parts of the DEMO display is playing the scene where it's slowly capturing the Model Cars (bright colors) in the movie. Again, it was side to side comparison against UT30. And the UT30 handles it very well. Try and see it at best denki Suria KLCC. =) Thanks and Regards, This post has been edited by rafurap: Sep 22 2011, 04:40 AM |

The higher the refresh rate, under normal circumstances, the smoother the motion. However, in my opinion there is a threshold. Anything above 72Hz refresh rate of 24p material ie 96Hz and above looks closer to video than film. This can be clearly seen in the end credits where the text is moving up/down.... Now, if there is motion interpolation algorithms that add frames while doing pulldown and then refreshing it at 60Hz or multiples of it (ie the smooth thing that u mention), will seem to show smoother motion. However, even the best of algorithms will introduce motion artefacts. If u watch close enuf, u will some some tearing or some sort of issue. This is more apparent in bigger monitors. Motion interpolation not done well will make film look like video shots. If refreshing of 24p is done without motion interpolation at 60Hz via 3:2 pulldown, then there will be judder. I am not sure what u mean but lag, but it shd be one of the 3 above. However, if u feel the UT30 in smooth mode is giving u better motion smoothness, then go for it. Ur eyes are the ultimate test, if u like it then its right for u. |

I am not thrilled about the black levels and I believe Panasonic selected the hardcoding of the gamma of 2.0 due to the not so great black levels. Yet at the price its going for, its a decent 1080p set. |

I have just bought P50U30. I noticed at very extreme angle, around 170 degrees or so, there is seems to be double image. It's not obvious but can be seen if I really scrutinize at very close distance. Is this normal?

Hi guys,
Anybody used the Pana Skype camera yet with their Panasonic Plasma? How is the experience, any issues getting connected esp. if the other side is on PC? Reason I asked - i read on Amazon feedbacks it says that both side must have the same Pana Skype camera and similar Pana TV only then can work - which I find it's quite stupid if that's the case ? Thanks in advance.... |

Hi Pana fan, dropped by to Best Denki at 1U and saw Panasonic 50" 3D plasma full HD tv displaying avatar...pretty impressive with the colour and dark level compared to U series plasma, anybody know what's the model for that? the price is roughly around RM7k for 50".....

QUOTE(Johore @ Sep 27 2011, 05:56 PM) your p50u30k can't play mkv file?is this also same goes to p42?? or only certain mkv can't play? bit confius... mine have no problem playing mkv files..even a 1080p mkv...but up to a certain size of mkv files..say bigger than 10GB, you'll start seeing jerkiness..not good..audio wise..this tv will never ever support DTS..so, if you hv a lot of mkv movie files with dts audio..don't bother..get your self a proper media player that can do it all.. |

QUOTE(redfly @ Sep 28 2011, 06:15 PM) Hi guys, I have tried this with VT20. It works with video call to pc. Camera and mic quality are impressive. Making video call to pc works fine. However, it has its flaw when receiving calls. The program loading is slow, before the Skype is loaded, call will be dropped at the pc end as no answer. The TV is able to pick up the 2nd call if the pc user retry after first dropped call. Maybe there is some improvement with Viera Connect of this year model.Anybody used the Pana Skype camera yet with their Panasonic Plasma? How is the experience, any issues getting connected esp. if the other side is on PC? Reason I asked - i read on Amazon feedbacks it says that both side must have the same Pana Skype camera and similar Pana TV only then can work - which I find it's quite stupid if that's the case ? Thanks in advance.... Added on October 3, 2011, 1:29 pmBy the way, you can always return call if you missed the first call. A bit troublesome.

Hi all, I spotted Panasonic 50" 3D FULL HD Plasma (P50ST30K) which selling at RM6,999...love the black level, contrast in this series when they display Avatar but I'm not ready with the 3D technology, wondering is there model out there can compete with this model?
The U-series plasma by Panasonic is not as good as this...any other option? |

Added on October 8, 2011, 6:27 pm See my reply to gkl83 above.. I agreed what you are trying to say there.... even when I go to order this model, the shop seller also try to persuade me to get other LED tv, and from their display unit, it shows that this model is so so so dark, you wont go to buy this model if you see it. But lucky that I got see it before on other place and Panasonic show booth as well. The image is really a lot better than the setting in their shop. I guessed that this 50" price is quite low and show good picture enough, if they set the best for settings for this tv, they will not able to push other brands and models to reach their sale target. bcoz the led tv is more expensive with smaller inches of size. but really duno why, it has no stock now....

The 2012 models will likely have 40K in their model names if the naming convention continues. Just like the 28K vs 20K, the 28K model is solely sold by Jusco (?). So, the 38K models are maybe sold by certain retailers? |

RM3050 for TH-P50U30K should be considered a good buy if RM2799 with a standard 2 years warranty. Panasonic extended warranty to 5 years normally at least cost RM250. |

If yes and still overscan, then the only thing left is your plasma TV Overscan feature still on. Check under Menu->Setup->Other settings->16:9 Overscan-> Off |

Hi guys, thinking of getting myself TH-P42U30K Viera Plasma....
any current user of this model willing to provide feedback on the following: 1) Glass panel glare - bad or acceptable (no need anti glare screen) 2) Media player compatibility through USB connection - can it read directly from External HDD i.e. 3.5 2TB HDD - can it play decent 1080p mkv files? DTS audio? TQ  This post has been edited by silverbolt143: Oct 12 2011, 12:25 PM |

Not responsible...once i know, then i can bargain with them and those comments were posted since about 2008 to 2010 only. related to their staff attitude, delivery goods timing, the price you get may can also get by other place, the model that they are telling you whether is the model you got it or not, and etc. Those are the old comments, I dont know whether they change now already or not because I didnt see the bad comment on 2011. But to enter this shop on the first time, just try to be careful for all these... |

But they dont have 50U38K yet.. So it means that it is not much different to 30K or maybe it dont have any different. |

QUOTE(Keng @ Oct 17 2011, 12:08 PM) I haven't watch anything on it yet other than the break-in slides. I'll be subscribing to IPTV, so i hope it'll be as good as what Astro claimed that it should. What about normal over-the-air TV channel? Is it "watchable"? Am asking coz my friend told me that his 46" Sharp AQUOS LED is not as good (a bit blur due to the large screen size?) as CRT TV when viewing normal TV. So just wondering if the Panasonic 50" is better. Thanks. |

No idea man, the tv is not plugged to anything other than the power & the sd card that i'm using to play the slideshow. I believe that the clearer/sharper your tv is, the more apparent a low quality source will be. Its the same like my parents 42" Sharp Aqous LCD Full HD, can see those pixel for Astro sources, PS3 is super clear exactly like a HD, which it is.

Only buy these HDTVs if you want to watch Astro Byond or HD movies via media player. Otherwise, save your money and stick to CRT.

I believe your LCD is perfectly OK...I would to say if i come closer to the tv, i can see those dotted, it is normal? But if i view from far, it is ok. Normal Astro transmitted in SD format (Standard Definition 480p) which suit older CRT TV... When u view the same through Full High Definition 1080p TV such as your LCD of course the image will be stretch & become pixellated because of its lower resolution.. it will further noticeable when u sit close to the screen.... Having said that, to enjoy true benefits of HDTV u need to watch high definition material such Astro Byond, Blu-Ray etc....  Otherwise, better stick with 29 CRT TV which definitely better for watching normal astro.. P/S: No one sit close to watch 42inch LCD...u need to sit 5-8 feet away from it |

Hi guys. What do you guys think of the VIERA TH-L42E30K?
Is it good? I have totally no idea in TV sets. First time buying a LED/LCD TV. Or should I get plasma really? It seems cheaper too. Picture quality wise, the VIERA TH-L42E30K has an IPS screen which in turns compensate the lack of color accuracy in normal TN panels right? So how does it fare against traditional plasma televisions? Will be using the TV mainly for Astro watching and little bit of DVD quality playback only. Not planning to get the bluray player soon. |

Any recommendation for 40'' or 42'' LCD or LED TV?USB support is preferable.
I mainly watch Astro (Non-HD/Byond) and sometimes I do watch some 720p films downloaded from Internet too. My budget is around or below RM2000. If possible, can anyone list out where can I get the best deal in Klang Valley area? (FYI, I live in Setapak) Thanks first. |

I am finally switching over to Plasma from CRT and I am in favour for the Panny 50" U30 FHD panel. Don't need 3D but appreciate value. What's the best price for this TV? I am in Penang, so would appreciate tips to where to get the best deal. I went to SEC and they are selling at RM3499 with 2 years warranty. Any better deals out there?

I heard that there are limited stocks out there for U30 now. not sure how true it is. Since the factory in Thailand had been flooded and some rumors about 2012 model coming out. Maybe someone can shed some light on this.

Last news i read, Panasonic trying to cut its Japan Plasma production (maybe move to other country). Thai flood may not be affected that much unless some other component are from Thailand.

I found a shop in Penang selling the P50U30K FHD for RM2799, cash price only. I think this is the best price so far. Not sure if they have stock. No time to ask as after browsing Jusco, HN, and SenQ, had to rush off but saw this shop and peeped in and saw the nice price.

Guys, how do I check how many hours/minutes a Panasonic LCD TV has been on? Can't remember the exact term for this but I think I may have read somewhere that even if you reset everything to default you can't reset this 'total time turned on' data..

To all Panny plasma owners,
There is a recent firmware update available for your tv, which said to improve media player compatibility. The only negative point is that you need to copy over to SD card for upgrade. http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/tv/d...down_aamo1.html I am downloading and hopefully can update within these few days. |

If you are moving in next year, might as well wait for their new model coming out which is around that month too. But confirm it's 3.5K and above I guess. |

why do you need any recommendation other than Panasonic when you are at this thread and somemore, you quote the VT30 which is the high end panny models and the best TV for 2011

Guys, I just got a call from my wife that power socket made some noise when she tried to turn on the TV (P50U30K). Not the power switch on the TV yet, just the power socket on the wall. I'm currently in the office and will be back home around 9pm. I asked her to turn off the power socket for the mean time till I come home.
Now I'm abit worried, the TV is just 2 months old. Anyone had similar experience? Is it because of unregulated electricity supply? Has anyone using AVR (automatic voltage regulator) for your tv? Yup, the one that we normally use for PC. |

QUOTE(sifar82 @ Nov 27 2011, 12:14 AM) Lastly managed to get 40u30k at rm1499 at HN bkt tinggi,a final display unit but i'm happy with the offer;) it has great reviews with superb black level, being a full hd plasma is a plus . Added on November 27, 2011, 12:19 amSorry,typo error..42u30k at jusco is around RM2399 i think.. Added on November 27, 2011, 1:09 am QUOTE(jimbet1337 @ Nov 26 2011, 06:00 PM) Guys, I just got a call from my wife that power socket made some noise when she tried to turn on the TV (P50U30K). Not the power switch on the TV yet, just the power socket on the wall. I'm currently in the office and will be back home around 9pm. I asked her to turn off the power socket for the mean time till I come home. no need AVR, voltage fluctuation does not have significant effects on TV electronics.Now I'm abit worried, the TV is just 2 months old. Anyone had similar experience? Is it because of unregulated electricity supply? Has anyone using AVR (automatic voltage regulator) for your tv? Yup, the one that we normally use for PC. 1. buzzing sound behind TV set? it could be the power inverter (transformer). 2. Bad contact on the socket wall? make sure not to plug in other high load devices on the same socket. have you tried calling customer service ? perhaps a warranty?

Prices are always on the decline as more canggih models become available.A case in point, I bought a Toshiba 32PS10E LED almost 3 months back at RM1.8k. It's now going for RM1499 or RM1599 only. Best Denki at 1U re-opening sale (they re-located to LG from 2nd floor) for the same thing at RM1299 |

Rasahman, i am also on the lookout for the same model pana plasma TH50U30k in JB. I will only buy if the price is below rm2400.my reason is this model was being offered 2 months back for rm2999 with free 24" lcd tv worth rm599, at that time samsung plasma series 4 51" plasma tv was selling at rm3000. now this samsung model is already selling at rm2499, so it has dropped a lot. price difference between pana 50u30k and samsung series 4 plasma is about rm500-600. but due to shortage of pana plasma 50" , i think the price of th5-u30k has not dropped so much like samsung. i will be going to a couple of big electrical shops this weekend to check the price , if u r keen , we can group together and bargain for better price from the shop. what say u ? |

Not having to worry about burn in as much if u game a lot. On better LCDs they have less of a gradiation issue at dim scenes. The cons are off centre viewing has colour shift. Most LED backlit LCDs have halos or clouding, and post calibration don't put out as bright an image as well (however they are not governed by APL so it is still brighter than plasmas if the scenes have large patches or white or light coloured scenes). Motion is normally not as smooth as well. Its important to understand that each tech has its weaknesses. So as long as u r aware of them u can decide which one works for u. |

QUOTE(richard912 @ Nov 30 2011, 02:53 PM) Panny's plasma is definitely better than Sammy's Again, in what sense?If u compare Sammys top range plasma vs Panny's top range plasmas for this year. Sammys have better colour accuracy but Panny has better blacks... Depending on which is more important to u, it can be a tie. The Pannys this year are much more difficult to calibrate due to an over aggresive ABL circuit. Both can have reference greyscale post calibration. Colour as I stated the Sammy can be more accurate. Panny has issues with 50Hz material, albeit much improved from last year. The Sammys have undefeatable sharpening (on the model I worked earlier but I am told that a firmware update fixed that - not sure if it applies to asian sets as asians do not complain as much) ISF puts a lot of importance on contrast so the Panny shd be heads, but the colour errors will show up as well and they definately do not go as bright as the Sammys this year. |

Questions to any Sifus out there
I recently hooked up WIFI USB adaptor and upgraded to Viera Connect on 50VT20k. All went well however i notice that when I browse \ search items in YouTube, the results seems vary compared if I search on my Laptop. I notice that same words searched in YouTube in Laptop produces more results compare to YouTube in Viera Connect I tried playing with the settings but did not help. Is this some sort of "by design" isues searching Youtube on Viera Connect? This post has been edited by tsgold: Dec 9 2011, 12:21 PM |

RM2699 for TH50U30K in JB. ready stocks available. any body keen to get one unit together with me? we can nego the shop to reduce price to < RM2600.
This price is the cheapest in JB after surveying 2-3 other shops, for this price, I think no point to survey anymore, cos wont get rm2400 or lower. maybe before bangkok flood, its possible. if keen to group, pm me. the more the merrier. |

I'm eyeing on the TH-P42U30K. I was wondering why Panasonic reduce the motion resolution of these model to 900 lines instead off 1080 . Won't these affect the motion flow of the plasma picture. Can anyone help him on these?

Those considering to buy TH50U30k can in fact consider to go for samsung PS51D550, like me. |

QUOTE(sylviaa @ Dec 13 2011, 10:49 AM) but for samsung plasma now the price difference is not that big anymore. a 50" FHD 3d model PS51D550 is selling at 3000 vs non 3d model which is series 4 plasma selling at 2500. so only RM500 difference between 3d and non 3d model for samsung. I have been wanting to get the 50U30K but seems that I can't find a place that has stock for it. Thanks for your recommendation, am going to get the PS51D550, as its MUCH MUCH more slimmer than the U30K.Those considering to buy TH50U30k can in fact consider to go for samsung PS51D550, like me. Please could you let us know where to buy at RM3,000? Is this price commonly available? |

tan boon ming is another choice.given they have stocks for the models you are looking for.on samsung tv, the do look nicer in regards to aesthetics but as some of the pro's posted in previous pages, the pic looks to vivid for me.
Added on December 17, 2011, 2:31 amdid some semi extensive test runs/tweaking the features/set up/updates of the plasma i bought.quite impressed and after so long watching crt and 29', kinda tiring a bit for my eyes, tho they will get used to it slowly(as when i changed my pc monitor from crt to lcd). played an anime mkv file, astonishing to see it in full hd, and so large tho i cant get the subs to work.anyway next in the agenda would be gaming and games. so far so good the th42u This post has been edited by mhyug: Dec 17 2011, 02:32 AM |

hi guys,
I just bought a P42U30K a week ago. still trying to calibrate the TV, but so far so good. Bought it at RM1700 in JB. Any mates looking to purchase the same set can PM me. So far, the "dynamic" pic mode gives you colors that a vivid, but not natural, like LCD/LED. "true cinema" mode gives very natural colors. Also, the USB movie playback feature is not very good. Only supports FAT32 so my MKV files above 4GB all tak jalan i plug in NTFS ext hdd not media detected. FYI |

Anyway you can always use a media player on the Panasonic to play those mkv files. yeah, a bit disappointed. gotta get a media player and hook it up to the TV.Anyway, most important is the picture quality of the plasma, and I believe the Panasonic is a quality unit.

I can understand, got to spend extra money just to play mkv files. For decent picture quality, can't get a player that's too cheap as well. The better Hi-media players (RM400+/-) would be a minimum. The better ones from the likes of Dune will cost RM700+.
The consolation is media players have extra features that may or may not be useful to you, such as the ability to download torrents etc. |

I tried using an ext HDD to watch Avatar mkv file which is 20GB and it's still possible. but the PQ was not that smooth. There's a bit of sluggish and missing pixels. So at the end got myself Hi-Media player. solved the problem. My opinion, it's better to get a 3rd party player to watch those high resolution or quality movies. the one built in are for normal files quality so I don't expect too much from it.

It sure have problem, to me the TV is made to display movie / image from input source. Is not made to process movie files. It sure have its limitation. |

In future, for those who are posting about their purchase, please include price and name of shop.
No one here is interested to know you have bought a plasma TV (yeah big deal blah blah blah) but more about how much and from which shop you got it. Please be specific, otherwise your post is useless. |

So far, my Panny 50U30K can [lay avi, mp4 and mkv. But for mkv, mp One piece anime can't play well. Lagging all time. But for me that's okay because I already have HD media player.

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. This post has been edited by capoi: Dec 26 2011, 08:51 PM |

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?

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? |

Hi
I've just got myself a TH-P42U30K from Sen-Q (JB - Jusco Bukit Indah) for RM1499. I have some trouble with saving the Picture settings - after changing the Contrast, Brightness, Color settings, the TV will return to default settings the next time I it switch on. However, Sound settings are stored/remembered correctly. I always double check the Picture settings by returning to Menu while the TV is still on. The settings are fine until I power it off (ie unplug the power). Anyone has any idea what I may haved missed? Thank you This post has been edited by nweiler: Dec 29 2011, 08:55 AM |

Just bought TH-P42U30K. I want to ask anyone knows how to check how many hours the screen has been used? I want to check just in case i got a display unit or not.
The salesman told me that the stock shud arrive on monday then suddenly i got a call informing me got 1 last stock they found in the store. I went over and saw that the box is been unseal and they told me check if screen got any damange or not. the tape around the screen looks legit. But i still want to make sure... and i did go see if the display unit is still there and it is... but for my peace of mind... i still want to make sure. thanks |

I bought it Rm1750. I know its more expensive but it was the only unit i could find in whole town... panashop quote me Rm1650 but no stock till further notice. The shop i bought from is not panashop so i cant enjoy 3yr warranty, 2yr instead.
In the end i manage to get the shop to throw in a free 3m LG highspeed hdmi cable for me... |

HI There,
Not sure if the problem seen on others, I have 50VT20K Plasma and recently upgraded it to Viera Connect. Ever since i notice that TV automatically powers on when switch power off from my remote control. I thought i was one time, but now the problem seems to be frequent. Most recently, i switch off TV and went out (almost 6 hours or so), when i came back, notice TV power was on (notice top left indicator that HDMI1 connection message). Lucky for me, there we no burn in problem (after I did snow-wash) and wanted to ask if anyone out there notice similar behaviour? as of now, I have to switch off power supply to the TV to avoid this occur again. I called Panasonic for assitance and schedule this Sat to have a look. somehow I notice the technician find hard to believe on my complain. Will revert what Panasonic Technician found. |

all right i found out what is white wash.
tho i have a question.we all have some sort of knowledge on IR/burn ins.but on what scale or what signs on the tv is considered as IR/burn ins?? take my set for example, when i test it out with the coloured full screen images from the break in images i dont notice anything, any mark, shape, word, ghosting images etc.same goes if its in static.now if turn my ps3 on, play a game also i notice nothing.and ive done all this with variable contrast/brightness settings, stood very close to the telly and far too, and still nothing. but when i switch to the next hdmi channel(hdmi2), if you stood really close i do notice a faint "ghosting like" images of the tvs on screen menu's etc(menu, volume bar).so does this constitute as IR/burn ins??

Panasonic guy came by and suspect there was a function within Viera Link (power mode on). I was not able reproduce the problem to him but after switching Viera Link Power state on (or something like that), TV did not power up automatically. We tested switching on TV multiple times and did not see TV switch up power automatically. Will monitor from my end if indeed this is the workaround. In addition to that, he mentioned HDMI cables do play a role as they need to be same, atleast HDMI 1.3b and above. for example, if i have HDMI 1.4, i need to ensure all my HDMI devices are plugged with ver 1.4 PS: sorry as I mixed up White wash and Show wash |

News for Panasonic 2012 Plasma TV lineup.
QUOTE Six new series are launching, only one of them lacks 3D. Panasonic is launching a total of 17 new TVs this year, with sizes and features ranging from the entry-level to the high end. Every single one of them packs a 1080p resolution, and all but one - the U50 - offers 3D capabilities. At the top of the six different lines is the VT50. You'll be able to pick up Panasonic's flagship in 55" and 65" sizes and you'll find everything you've come to expect from a high end television. You get 3D capabilities, the Infinite Black Ultra Panel for dark blacks, built in Wi-Fi, Viera Connect for your internet apps and 2D to 3D conversion. The VT50 also packs CALMAN calibration software and an ISFcc calibration mode so you - or someone who knows what they're doing - can get your set looking just right. It also gives you 8-Train speakers with 3D Real Sound for more immersive audio. Though if you're buying a top of the line TV you should really shell out for some speakers. The VT50 and the rest of Panasonic's new plasma sets will be available this year though a specific launch date and price have not yet been set.

I have tested with both HD and SD signals on both TVs.
I took a normal HK Drama (650MB) and a Planet Earth (2.7GB) to be played on both of the TV own built in Media Players The comparison that i notice is as of below: Panasonic HK Drama: Playback started successfully. The picture was pretty smooth and very less boxy edges noticed even at the side curved lines. Picture and color is much softer compared to Samsung (based on Dynamic setting). Planet Earth: Playback started successfully. The picture was very smooth. Color is rich and pictures are sharp. There was some juddering of the playback at the start but after i skip that section, the movie continued playing normally. Price: RM2,850 Samsung: HK Drama: Playback started successfully. The picture was pretty smooth as well but more boxy edges was seen throughout the picture. Picture and color were much brighter compared to Panasonic (based on Dynamic setting) Planet Earth: Playback didnt started successfully so i could not provide comment on this. The message says the codec is not supported. Firmware issue i guess. Price: RM2,950 |

3d may the thing now but still the content isnt as many as hd, even hd needed time to garner such resources.besides not every ones eyes are adapted to 3d, and personally for me i cant adapt to 3d.i still see the same picture, not like seeing some thing in person.
the eyes+brain i reckon is still way powerful and can instantly differentiate what you see is there in the flesh or its just an image in the tv. |

QUOTE(sskelviny @ Jan 19 2012, 10:14 AM) Hi, It is a general consensus that Panasonic has better blacks whilst the Samsung has better colours. Picture wise "much better" is a misleading term. As for picture settings, "Dynamic" on the Samsung will yield an unnatural quality. Usually "Movie" is the preferred setting. I finally decided on Panasonic. The PQ is much better than Samsung although Samsung one is 3D plus it comes with 2 extra glasses for FREE. But ultimately, when it comes to comparison, cant really match Panasonic in this two fight out le. Enjoy your new Panasonic TV. You won't go wrong with both Panasonic or Samsung. Both are the top two sellers in the plasma category. |

Guys, is there a way to calibrate all the channels at once? Im using P42U30K. I placed the test chart from AVSHD709 to my pendrive and i adjusted the brightness and contrast.. then when i switch to other channel (hdmi1, hdmi2) i notice that those channel remain by default.
I know i can memorise the setting and adjust accordingly but is there a simpler way of making all channels the same? |

Doesn't make sense. The input source are usually different e.g. blu-ray player, Astro, PS3 etc. Each source need to be calibrated differently because they produce different PQ/color.I know i can memorise the setting and adjust accordingly but is there a simpler way of making all channels the same? If you insist them to be similar, you can always "copy" the settings from one input source to the others. I know the V20 has the "copy" feature. Edited: So, since you used the pendrive via USB, you have just calibrated the screen for the built-in media player. If you put that pendrive via your blu-ray player, you have calibrated the TV for your blu-ray input. I hope that make sense. This post has been edited by PoorMan: Jan 21 2012, 05:06 AM |

QUOTE(sskelviny @ Jan 18 2012, 02:24 PM) I have tested with both HD and SD signals on both TVs. which shop u got this price? in kl?I took a normal HK Drama (650MB) and a Planet Earth (2.7GB) to be played on both of the TV own built in Media Players The comparison that i notice is as of below: Panasonic HK Drama: Playback started successfully. The picture was pretty smooth and very less boxy edges noticed even at the side curved lines. Picture and color is much softer compared to Samsung (based on Dynamic setting). Planet Earth: Playback started successfully. The picture was very smooth. Color is rich and pictures are sharp. There was some juddering of the playback at the start but after i skip that section, the movie continued playing normally. Price: RM2,850 Samsung: HK Drama: Playback started successfully. The picture was pretty smooth as well but more boxy edges was seen throughout the picture. Picture and color were much brighter compared to Panasonic (based on Dynamic setting) Planet Earth: Playback didnt started successfully so i could not provide comment on this. The message says the codec is not supported. Firmware issue i guess. Price: RM2,950 |

Hi guys,
Wondering if someone here can help me out. Does anyone here have TV model TH-42PV80HM (yeah, kinda an old school model, doesn't even have Full HD) and knows which code to use for Astro's b.yond PVR remote control? I tried all the Panasonic specific codes in Astro's manual and while I can get a few to work with the on/off button, none of them seems to work with the volume buttons (which is the important one to avoid "carrying" two remotes). Thanks. |

Appreciate if anyone can help. I can't decide to get a Panasonic P50U30K or a Samsung PS51D490. Both around similar pricing plus minus. PS51D490 has 3D advantage but is only HD ready. Since I am an Astro Beyond subscriber, am I correct to say P50U30K has better pic quality for the HD channels since it is full HD?
