really tat warm? yesterday i watch it for 5-6 hours, only switch on fan

[kt]

its not really that hot. u just feel the warmth when u get really close to the screen. the rear part doesnt go warm as far as i have tried

[rx330]

im sitting almost 7-8 feet from the teebee, so i dun think i can feel it, although i did wen in front of it a few seconds to see how HD was it 

lucky my rear still has good ventilation, not a problem @ all

setup the whole thing by myself yesterday, but carrying the previous 29 slimfit up to my bedroom was killing me, today, i have sore shoulders  :'(

This model is still selling like hot cake, till now 90% of my clients prefer this model over other available plasma brands in the market, and yet the price is still reasonable.

Regards to ivan for the 4th unit he got from me, congrats bro!

Thanks guys for the replies. I was contemplating on replacing my 37" LCD w/ a plasma. But during these times that we are minimizing our electric consumption, I think it wouldn't be practical on my circumstances (coz i usually watch without A/C & just a fan for air circulation).  I'll just stick with my LCD then. 

hi! i'll get back to you after this month if there is a marked increase in my electric consumption. i usually watch an average of 2 hours a day and this  past month, a little more, as my parents stayed with me for a while. so at least maybe 3-5 hours a day. as for the heat, it's definitely hotter than a regular crt tv, but should not be enough to sway you from buying it

thumbs up for panny

btw, wat settings u guys using?

[tonedeaf]

anybody know if the HDMI for the 42pv70 is 1.3? or earlier version?

[rx330]

@rx330:

Yes please, it will be highly appreciated. )

yesterday tried the pv70 with my notebook, connect thru VGA
was set @ 1024 X 768 (my notebook settings) everything is fine thru the plasma, then i adjust it to the highest settings, but no different from the previous one

everything is ok to me, the wordings are readable, 16:9 was ok, tested a few SD cartoons and movie, output was great though

now i makes me itchy to get a pc for the plasma......  :'(

Thanks sa purchase flyboy, this plasma really rocks!!!

[rx330]

@ fait
i dun think there is any pixelation on the icons, or maybe its my peasant eye? cant see the diference

will try to post the pics tonite

btw, guys, wats the purpose of break in 100-200hours? no more burn in/image retention?
as yesterday i was playing heavenly sword for quite a while, maybe 40-80 minutes, later i actually notice there is burn in, i could see nariko's health bar if i stand in front of the tv, its not very very obvious, but definitely its there

will it go off by itself?

[tonedeaf]

^ same thing happened to me when i watched Kung Fu Hustle. I was forced to watch it with the black bars otherwise I wouldn't be able to understand the movie without the subtitles. 

When I finished the movie, the color of the black bar on top was darker than the center portion of the screen where the movie was shown. Also, the portion of the black bar at the bottom where the subtitles were shown was considerably lighter than the other parts. When I switched to tv programming (full screen), the burn-in disappeared after a while.

scared the crap out of me. haven't watched with the black bars since.  at least until i finish the 100 bars burn in.

rx n tonedeaf! looks like thats IR image retention. thats a temporary thing unlike burn in.

but can that really be avoided after the said 100hrs burn in?

[rx330]

phew, mine missing as well

can anybody verify? after break in, no IR or burn in issues?
scare the hell outta me as well

for fait



looks ok to me

[rafmac]

after almost a month of using, i'm almost done with the break-in period. Any care to share the optimal settings for the panny to maximize picture quality?

[scaglietti]

for fait

looks good.  But it seems like the icons are stretched?  what resolution are you using, 1024x768? 

[rx330]

yea i set it as 1024 X 768, i tried to set it optimum(i think 1900), but no changes, look the same also 

pls share settings, i m still waiting for it to break in as well

[kt]

Yes, now watching movies in high definition is totally different experience. 

[rx330]

i use cinema, and i still tweaked abit of the actual cinema settings

i can wait until the 100 hours break in to enjoy it with my ps3 games and bluray

i ahve frequent IR nowadays, but it dissapears the next day though, hopefully it wouldnt cos any problem laters

[kt]

i tried the cinema but its a bit too dark for me. im now on dynamic mode but all setting are less than half due to break in period. anybody can share their settings for optimum quality? hehe tnx
