actually, if u r on dynamic, and ur settings are lessthan half, tat shud be standard to cinema settings aredi

[barrister]

I agree.  By adjusting the settings per mode, it's possible to get the same picture, equivalently calibrated, regardless of mode.

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. ...

IMHO, the recommended midpoint or below midpoint settings for break-in purposes apply only to the standard mode.  Using the dynamic mode for break in purposes will require you to lower the settings even further below midpoint.

hi barrister musta! yup my setting are still less than half. i have already used the unit for around 100hrs. just trying to configure to its optimal setting...hehe pero takot parin manood with bars! haha

watch 300 blu ray last nite, 2.35 :1 , lucky the IR not tat serious 

[ganicru]

Guys, am not so much worried with burn-in or whatever. I watch DVD movies as it is (letter boxed or not), although shades of dark is different as after effect,  but will disappear when watching TV in full screen.
Pag nasira bili na lang tayo ulit, pamura na ng pamura eh. Sa sights and sounds Shangrila P70K na lang cash price ng 42PV70H, may 6 mo. deferred pa P75K.  ewan lang kung may difference yung Made in China vs Made in Singapore. Mine is made in Singapore. he he he.  Enjoy parin, teka mukhang mas ok yung 50PV..

[rx330]

also got china made unit? i think mine is from spore as well

[Nemesis91]

Panasonic opened new factory in malaysia and china also. They plan to manufacture 100,000 mix plasma's monthly. Cheaper cost from china.

that is why new stocks new price new deal. how low can you go.

[rx330]

they got new factory in malaysia?  any idea which part?

[Mo®pHeOu$]

for sure bababa ang presyo nito. 

[kt]

mine is made in japan. may difference po ba yung kung san made?

[Nemesis91]

mine is made in japan. may difference po ba yung kung san made?

Yup.   most of the 50pv70 and all 42-50pv700 is made in japan, they are a little bit heavier compared to china units. But most important it's still panasonic plasma, not a Copied unit from china. hehehe

[Nemesis91]

The company didnt told me the location, but i know its huge. I saw their picture when they were in trainning.

[rx330]

ther is one panny plant nearby my area, but i think tat one doesnt produce teebees, shud be another plant in another part of malaysia

[pchin]

There's an existing plant in Shah Alam outside of KL which including its extension to facilitate the LCD production. Not sure for the new Plasma plant tho.

rx330 are you a Malaysian or working in Malaysia lang?

[sanmig_ph]

Bro jeff,

thanks ganda ng panasonic pv70.
here's my review: factory settings pa lang.
1st setup  with  pioneer 686 using ordinary RCA, progressive scan at pioneer.
using r3 movies- US marshall ,widescreen matted picture is ok but there is some seens
na medyo parang cloudy,i dont know if that is the right term or grainy.
2nd movies r3 - the bourne supremacy ,anamorphic widescreen,less yung cloudy picture nya.
3rd movies  r3- the fugitive , standard , mas cloudy ,havent check the dvd kung dvd9 nabili lang ng sale.

2nd setup- with my toshiba hda1
sddvd r1 - training day at 720p using HDMI ,picture is ok

hddvd - the hulk at 720p , picture is very good & u can see the difference with standard dvd at 720p.
at 1080i hindi ko makita differenece.

question lang po,
when watching fullscreen SDDVD at hddvd, there is black bars in left & right.
but when watching in pioneer 686 no black bars at left & right.the picture is full screen.The setup
of pioneer is already 16:9

congrats kt on your purchase!!! from the other threads here at Pdvd others suggest that mga 100 hrs break in time, others naman did 150 hours. I bought mine (although diff brand) last June pa and i have not finished the break in  mostly during weekend lang kasi ko nagagamit  some says naman na no need to break in kasi these plasmas are based on new technology so wala ng masyado burn in problems. Try to adjust the setting sa lowest possible. Mine puro naka 0 yung brightness etc. Pero to be honest ang linaw pa din  Try to avoid also the 2.35 aspect ratio not unless yung dvd player mo has a screen fit mode. Yung Pio 600 zoom mode so i use my Samsung HD841 most of the time. hope this helps 

bro how do you compare the upscale component connection of samasung over pioneer 600 tru hdmi?
im lookung for  samsung hd 841 to upscale using component video for my r3 dvd.
thanks

[van_wilder]

question to anyone... have you heard of the Panasonic TH42-PV7HS HDMI  ?

[boybi]

How's the PQ of the 42PV70 when watching cable channels?

[sanmig_ph]

panny 42pv70  can output 1080p, is this full hd?

[sanmig_ph]

mine is made in japan. may difference po ba yung kung san made?

bro ganda ba picture at 1080p upscaling sa pioneer 600?
how do you compare sa 720p only.

lahat ng settings nasa 50 pag break in?
thanks bro

unfortunately cable tv reception sucks. in my case sky is really grainy. some channels are more bearable. although i haven't tried digbox yet.

check the previous pages and you will see screen shot comparisons between 720 and 1080 resolution. since the source is standar def, you will hardly notice any difference between the 2. in my case using an upscaling dvd, i just use 720p.
