You must remember that other electronic components will not last so long. That's why the warranty of 3-5yrs is reasonable. Even though the panel does not spoil other components can still damage the panel.

hi, is TH-P42X10K = TC-P42X1 (in US) as i hv found this thread @ http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1128487 , it's about break-in & reference setting (for after-break-in).

btw, how many hv bought this in Kuching as i'm about to get one soon, which shop got the best offer. Thks~

I have one, as you already know, RM2900 with free HMDI. Re calibration, am hopeful anfieldude will help when he's in town.

yes podrunner, i will go to the shop u bought, it's a good price indeed especially price are usually higher over here compare to peninsular.
btw, refer to the link i posted, seems to me that TH-P42X10K = TC-P42X1 in us

sotong, afraid to touch service menu!! help? hehe

Especially with the inconsistency of power supply

have u ever access into it yet? well, i'm going to use my camcorder to record or digicam to snap down the default setting, just in case any mishap happen, i still can revert back to original setting.

@ htkaki, i hv make up my mind to go for plasma even there is a possibility of IR or burn-in as astro looks terrible on LCD, i guess i'm gonna "curse" by my mom if i get her a LCD for astro watching .

btw, since u r a pro in this field, may i know what break-in setting do u use? is it follow the guide at avsforum by d-nice or u have your own method? thks~

I went into service menu to check the usage time only. There are very detailed instructions on how to do this over at the PV80 thread. I need step by step guide! Will probably wait for anfieldude. When are you getting yours?

if TH-P42X10K = TC-P42X1 , then i will use the guide @ http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1128487 , post#1 is about 120hr break-in (no changes needed in service menu), post#2 is about optimum setting but u can always tweak base on your preference, need to be careful with changes under service menu tho'.

rm3799 (sdr 26, 4gb sd, hdmi cable)2+1+2 years panasonic warranty+s-video cable+6 pcs dinner plates+free delivery.

Re Post #1: so using the "thumbdrive files", I leave it playing for 120 hours, or how? Sorry, am slow lah.

frm what i understand frm the thread (close to 3hr reading ), 1st set to below setting:

Picture Mode: Vivid
Contrast: 100
Brightness: 55
Color: 65
Tint: 0
Sharpness: 50
Color Temp: Cool
C.A.T.S: Off
Video NR: Off

Advance Options
MPEG NR: Off
Black Level: Light

then download the break-in img, unzip the 20 jpg to SD, insert to SD slot and start to cycle the slides in "slow" mode for 120hr. After u hv done break-in, set the "warm" setting (for both SD & HD) according to reference setting at post#2, need to be extra cautious as it invilve tweaking inside service menu. but i hv not experience yet so dun take my word 100% as of now until i get my unit to test

I bought one last Sunday, mines tv setting don't have the advance options and there is no vivid mode in picture mode selection. The service manual setting is also abit difference as post on avsforum. Seem like the US version is a bit difference from Malaysia.
Also, the S1 series in US is stated with Neo PDP but not for Asia.

still no sifu can help answer me meh? izzit the 42x10 PQ abit dark? contrast already increase to 100 still look like dark dark 1.fell like watching old movie. izzit normal? please advise

I got it from one of the JB shop. Name i dun want to say it coz now i still waiting for the replacement unit.
Maybe after i got the unit i will pm u.

Sorry.

it would help if you can snap a picture showing how dark is the screen when you are watching from what source, and you current setting

@kpchow75, thks for the info, as what i understand, his break-in method is applicable for all G12 panel. his recommended setting is to expedite the break-in process so i dun think it should be a prob in using other pic mode. btw, i dun hv the unit so i can't really test.

btw, any sifu here can enlighten how do u break-in x10?

frm the site, there is one "coming soon" under x-series, what would it be? and any idea about the price on G or S series? Thks~
