Topic: Best Display Settings for Panasonic 42X30 Plasma... :)

[egzbuen]

Just got my new and first ever NMT (Egreat S800).

At first, I was so happy already with my x30 by just watching my dvds with my old dvd player. However, the power and beauty of this beast will further shine and show using HD material.

I am just overwhelmed with this plasma tv and my NMT

no noticeable difference ba sa 1080p screens to, since 720 lang native resolution nito, di ba?

PQ of this TV is actually better than most 40" 1080P LCD TV sets that I've seen. most specially if the lights are completely turned of. home cinema na talaga!

Thanks for you and bosschix's replies.

How much ang selling price neto ngayon?

[leomarley]

26500 at SNS cash price. I'm now thinking if I'll get this model or wait for the U and VT series of Panasonic

[egzbuen]

Thanks for you and bosschix's replies.

where did you get yours?

[egzbuen]

where did you get yours?

V-Mall, Greenhills. Shop is located at the 3rd floor. Lemme look for O.R. to get the name of the shop and contact number.

is this the one near the entrance from the multi-level parking? near Mr. Dynamic?

Thanks very much.

Just curious, how's the warranty? One-year? Two-year? Home service ala-LG?

[egzbuen]

Thanks very much.

I think its one year warranty. Good question on the "home service issue". I will ask once I find their O.R. and call them.

[Quitacet]

The reason I asked is I believe it's idiotic if the warranty is "bring the set to the nearest service center" since we are dealing with a very big, fragile electronics here.

It should always be Home Service for these kind of things. It's not like an oven toaster which you can bring with you conveniently.

I agree with you. 

Going back to its display settings. I haven't tinkered with it yet. Ergo, I am still using its default settings and its already superb IMHO 

Regarding burn-in period, though there have been conflicting advise, suggestions and opinions, there is no harm in doing it, thus, I did it on my unit just to be sure

I know you mean "break-in"  and actually HD-Nation recommends it for the first 100 hours and after that....

[Quitacet]

is this TV alright with a viewing distance of 4-5 feet? hindi ba kita ang pixels at that distance?

parang gusto ko na yata to hehehehe

[leomarley]

viewing distance ko is around 5-6 ft lang and ok na ok naman. walang pixels na nakikita.

di ba reflective ang screen neto? maliwanag kasi ang room na paglalagyan ko e. may malaking window sa gawing harap (left side) ng tv na di ko pwede takpan e.

[leomarley]

reflective sya, but then again so are most of the plasmas out there. as the masters have posted in the 42/50x30 review thread, reflective but beautiful black unlike those with matte screens na black isn't really black. for me big improvement ang paglipat sa plasma coming from an LCD display. sa LCD kasi and daming noise na makikita like sa mga scenes ng Hurt Locker. sa 42x30 very minimal na lang. and for its price, you can't complain

only one question, how do you set-up the cable with this TV?

[bosschix]

nde issue sa akin pagiging reflective nia,maliwanag din sala ko sa umaga,ok lng yung window sa gilid ng tv wag lng mismo sa harap ng tv  ...para sa akin mas ok ung glossy kaysa matte,mas matingkad color,

sinubukan ko manuod 4 feet  viewing distance,hd ang source wala namang pixelation...

orig baron antenna lng gamet ko malinaw nman sa local channel walang pixelation,ayaw ni misis mg pa hd cignal dagdag n nman daw sa bayarin hehehe @leomarley madali lng iset up yang cable nian

Same scenario at my house, two windows at left side about 2.5 meters away from TV.  Not that big of a deal.   

[Miguel^]

only one question, how do you set-up the cable with this TV?

Do you mean channel listing? Sa regions, chose others and pick American cable or american TV, or something along those lines. 

[Miguel^]

IMO, the thing you need to tweak is not the TV, but your ambient light

[leomarley]

Do you mean channel listing? Sa regions, chose others and pick American cable or american TV, or something along those lines. 

my problem is that there is no signal coming out of the TV screen even if I switch from Digital to Analog.

[Miguel^]

chose analog.  Did you try auto tuning?

[leomarley]

of course sir i also tried analog since analog signal ang ipapasok ko but even so wala pa rin. also tried auto tuning.

[Miguel^]

that's strange.  Have you tried resetting the TV to factory defaults > other region > american cable/TV ?  It's been my experience that if you have the wrong region, TV won't tune properly both audio and video.
