Just run it loop before you sleep, put in a SD card.

I ran mine 8 hours per day, break in completed in 10 days.

I'm using 42X10K with Pioneer DV-410K(with 1080p upscaling). I found out If I select 1080p output, the picture abit soft compare with if I choose 720p scaling.

Picture from P50x10K..
already break-in for 130 hours.. already modify offsets..
however number setting still cannot match american 50x1 set ...
so have to do own settings...
camera pictures didn't come out nice, need to find angle to take so that it will show the beauty of this panel


using dvico 6500a 1080p feed straight to the plasma set.. letting the g12 panel to modify the 1080p feed...

kian wee bro, you ran the loop on what picture settings?

Default normal profile, but decrease contrast from 60 to 50. Brightness at 0.

After proper break-in and tuning, you'll definitely see some difference.

how much is the 50 inch TH-P50X?

Eh.. i thought Contrast: 100, Brightness: 55.

I set that during the first few 30 hours of break in. Then i decrease the contrast cause I feel the display is getting a bit hot at 100.

taukeh kianwee now panny plasma spokeman

Yelah..memang rasa panas pun.

Dun pijit la taikor

Small fry nie.... not like those pj kaki.

Panasonic should pay you for doing their work

How is LG PQ30 Plasma compare to Pana X10 in term of PQ, Colour and Motion? Both about the same price and come with 3 yrs warranty. I think that Pana X10 motion is not that smooth.

Just my guess, by upscaling to 1080p, you actually have the DVD player to upscale once, and later the TV to downscale to 720p to fit its native resolution, so there are 2 processes involved, and it could be that the TV's processor causes the picture to be a bit soft.

By selecting 720p, you only need your DVD player to upscale the source to 720p, and since this is the native resolution of your TV, the TV doesn't has to do any downscaling anymore.

Any sifu out there care to clarify this matter?

Actually, even outputting at 720p would require one more scaling by the display. This is because the resolution of the display is 768p. Thats why it is best to output at 4800/576p to the display if u want to reduce the scaling times. Another alternative would be to output BluRay at 1080p/24 so it scales only once. There is one thing to remember, based on tests and observations the new X10 series does not deinterlace too well. It is better to send a progressive signal to it, hence a 480p/576p from the DVD player.

I believe some display do a better job at downscaling vs upscaling and that could be the reason why 720p might be better if you want the display to upscale.

Anyway, trust ur eyes. If 720p looks better than go for it. Just try 480p/576p from the Pio DVD player and see if that looks even better.

hi.. i am planning to get TH-P42X10K this weekend together with dvd hifi. any suggestion for dvd hifi? budget is within Rm1500.. also any recommended shop in seremban?

Seremban...pm htkaki, he can help...

OK, I'll test using 480p/576p from the Pio DVD player after my panny complete break-in 120 hours.

how is the astro performance on TH-P50X10K ?

just setup my 42x10 this afternoon. Input is pioneer dv610. set at 1080p.

Pic quality is superb already without tweaking. just want to run in for first 100 hour before start tweaking.

I dont regret getting panasonic plasma.
