30 years panel life claimed by manufacturer, should give us 30 years warranty to back up their claim drool.gif

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.

have u ever access into it yet? well, i'm going to use my camcorder to record sweat.gif 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 tongue.gif .

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'.

frm what i understand frm the thread (close to 3hr reading sweat.gif ), 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 tongue.gif

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.

@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~
