Yup, mainit sya, pero mararamdaman mo lang syang mainit pag lumapit ka ng maigi sa screen. Nagpa calibrate ka ba? If not, you may want to try calibration ni Bumptious ng avforum, use the 8 G D65 HDMI Settings

http://www.avforums.com/forums/plasma-televisions/544315-pioneer-8g-owners-thread.html

IMHO, maganda kaysa sa suggested settings ni D-nice ng avsforum, below is the link of d-nice settings

Yun Panasonic 42" di gaano maramdaman ang init kung hawakan mo lang . pero itong Kuro na 50" pag daan mo lang sa harap mga 1ft in front alam mo ng mainit.

Thanks sa links ... Yes I am using D-nice settings fior the 5010 na 8G

I guess mas mainit kuro natin kasi 50 incher, mas mataas wattage, good to know you use d-nice but like I said, I prefer Bumptious' settings, mas accurate skin tones.

Sana matuloy pa din Kuro 10g, kahit na give-up na ng Pioneer production ng plasma, hopefully Pioneer will pass on to Panasonic the kuro technology

Yun Kuro ko kasi is US version medyo limited yun adjustments niya na available sa user . kaya yun bumptious settings hindi ko magamit ang mga Low and high RGB settings niya.

Yan ang maganda sa asian version yun level of adjustments available is equivalent sa US Elite version

To get the same level of adjustments you have, kailangan ko pumasok sa service mode

Maganda talaga ang mababang black level, problema nga lang magkakasakit ka ng sars nito sa ibang gamit mo . Napapansin ko ang kakulangnan ng aking Ax-200 na projector in terms of black level. Di ko inabot ang sale ng Pro-fpj1 (JVC RS-2 ) ng pioneer around 30% lang ng list price last mid february.

Just recieved

KRP 500

Testing Lang

It's a monitor only ....no stand , no tuner , no speaker

jambam · « **Reply #224 on:** Jun 02, 2009 at 07:00 PM »

These things are going fast and in short supply
Already my brother in US ordered a krp 600. 60 inch kuro monitor Waited a month and a half for delivery . And was given a broken (basag)

unit not once but twice

. Due to poor handling and maybe packaging .He wanted to wait for a third try but was refunded his money since they
Cannot promise him a delivery date. Now prices has gone up

jambam · « **Reply #225 on:** Jun 13, 2009 at 11:51 AM »

Finally decided to start setting up . Sorry for the quality of the pics phone cam lang

The KRP 500 is not as thin as the Led LCD's but better than the older gen

Undergoing BurnIn

I can probably only tell the difference between the black bars and the bezel because I know the black bars are there.

You are not seeing things. The 500M and snobby brother (PRO-101FD) share a revised version of original 9G PDP module. These revised PDP models add additional Kuro tech that we would have seen on the 10G Kuros. The difference between the 500M and 111FD I have is almost as dramatic as the difference between the 8G Kuros and "Rev A" 9G Kuros.

Parang 3rd Gen Kuro na pala ito

I just did a short comparison w/ my other flat panel and what I saw was the details in the black scene are not washed out , on my other display it was only black on this one you see the graduation of the black and see the details , also I saw dark brown shirt on the KRP , but on a different display it was a different shade of black ....

Maybe this is just calibration . But I did not expect nor was looking to see these details but it was very obvious . I will try to see if I can take a proper picture to show it .

or is there something bigger/better?

better -> KRP-600M with a KRP-500A-like tuner

DViant · « **Reply #228 on:** Jul 17, 2009 at 06:21 PM »

Not considering it anymore. It's too much money for a TV. Budget's 192k only.

number1 · « **Reply #229 on:** Aug 25, 2009 at 10:24 PM »

How much are they selling the KRP-500M and KRP-600M here in the Philippines?

Since these are being sold here in Asia, does it mean it has less features (compared to the ones sold in the US)? Read somewhere that Panasonic units being sold here have less features than those sold in the US. I don't know if Pioneer subscribes to the same practice.

Jambam, where will you get a stand for that? Wall mount mo ba? Thats the model that i can only afford sa pioneer hehe. Its on sale in the US and want to get one kahit na monitor lang. External tuner box na lang ako.

SRP KRP 500 =P339K KRP 600 =P399K discount offered was 70k if I remember correctly

For KRP500 /600 the ones sold locally actually have more features , Isffc, stand /speakers included , than that of the US market models , but not enough to offset the price difference even after shipping etc..

It's really how much risk you want to take in shipping , as these have been known to break

I changed my order to include a stand, so I have one . But in case you get one w/out stand you can buy one of the Bello stand's that include a universal bracket . The external tuner box , used for PC monitors will work , since I use one but , i would recomend you just subscribe either to cignal hd satellite or skycable hd . To get a better picture.

look for kristin

have it delivered in their US warehouse and they will ship it to your doorstep in 26-30 days

In the US they seem to have different model number scheme

Monitor Only

50" Class (49.85” Diagonal)
PRO-101FD Signature Series Monitor

60" Class (59.58” Diagonal)
PRO-141FD Signature Series Monitor

Pioneer USA

Are these the equivalent of the locally available KRP-500M and KRP-600M?

And how come it is being sold in the US so cheap, while they are *really* squeezing potential buyers here?

I really admire those who can stomach the risk of shipping it here from the US. The risks of going warranty-less and sustaining damage(s) in transit are risks that are too much to bear (even with the savings).

************

Ok to answer my own query. Those are not equivalent to the KRP-x00M being sold here. The KRP-x00M series are being filed under " Other Plasmas ". So they are neither Pioneer, Elite, etc... Strange.

In the US, price fluctuations on electronic devices are extremely common. That's definitely not the case here, which is definitely why I admire how TheaterWorks and Sights & Sounds can plummet prices on some TV models while Abenson, etc. still price them at an arm and leg.

Feeling ko mabibilang pa ng mga Pioneer dealers/sellers yun mga nabili na KURO panels sa kanila.
