for ps3...

being more of a console gamer than carlo^^^

played rounds of super street fighter 4 last night and there was no input lag or ghosting! pictures naman at game mode was very close or equal to the V20 running on the same mode. i.r was still present but like what my hubby said, it did not develop as quickly as the v20

True Pc games muna tayo - Napoleon Total War and Starcraft

This is good news

The X20 seems like a re-packaged C10 minus the color management feature, gaming on the C10 was a pleasure so we expect the same performance here.

it is! yun nga lang i can see myself when i play^^^

I bought a 42X20 awhile ago at S&S, gonna put a Nintendo Wii on it. I'll give u guys feedback.

DVD playback : Using a Pioneer 420DV player, using HDMI cable, viideo upscaled to 1080p, Cloudy with a chance of meatballs. Picture was quite impressive.

I'll try a dvd with humans in it tomorrow, hehe.

Could you kindly post a pic wide enough to show the TV frame and some walls/floors during daylight?  Im hoping to gauge how reflective it would be when watching during lunch. 

Thanks!

Ok, here are two pics using my iphone camera, taken just now.



the X20 is more reflective compared to my v20.

@FrancisS

dracula also! one of my fav movies! the reflection is really strong on this unit but ok lang siya...i can see you clearly

Daylight (bright room) please.  Thanks.

[comitatus]

Daylight (bright room) please.  Thanks.

daylight? grabe sa umaga yan! i'll check may pics din ata ako ng unit sa umaga with blinds open...i'll look again.

[FrancisS]

Daylight (bright room) please.  Thanks.

that's the brightest this particular room bro, thats why I considered the x20 for this room. hehe. sorru.

[Clondalkin]

daylight? grabe sa umaga yan!...

Yeah that's exactly the condition I want to see this TV perform under.  Our living and dining areas in Pasig are very very very very brightly lit.    Thanks in advance.

[FrancisS]

The shot i took by the way was taken this morning with the sun shining, but the room only has minimal sunlight that goes in.

[lisa_mae]

sa daytime, kung may bintana sa likod mo tapos nakaharap ka sa plasma, wag ka ng umasang makakanood ka ng hindi naduduling. wala syang kwenta pag maliwanag sa likuran mo, para syang salamin, sarili mo n lang mapapanood mo. weakness tlaga ng plasma yan.

[Clondalkin]

Kaso ang taray naman ng V20 kung ilalagay sa dining area.  Hehehe.  Pero kung talagang gusto ng plasma and maliwanag talaga yung dining area all the time, walang ibang plasma model na suitable kung hindi yung V20 nga.

Hmmm.  Toshiba Regza?

Just take a look at how reflective the X20 is, you could see the background of the room and even my wife (comitatus) as she takes a pic of the unit.

But let's not put a bump stop there, the pq is something to behold!

More impressions this week:

Carlo...we have never met before.  Am hoping your reflection in the screen has been altered and you do not actually have those features or a hairy dog like furry chest.  You are scary dude!

Francis when shopping for a 50 inch unit some weeks back we were shocked at the glare or should I say reflection of the above unit.  It pretty much convinced us  to get unit the older 50c10.

[FrancisS]

Dannie, I noticed this too, but I knew that the room we were gonna put it in has a very controllable lighting environment, the shot I took is the brightest the room will be during the morning.

Carlo777 & comitatus , thanks for the this tv's feedback, got myself a 50" from vic yesterday. 

one observation though, mounting the tv sucks bigtime ..
the ports at the back are flat and not "carved" (sorry cant think of a better word).
you'll need to use the plastic "filler" between the screw and tv to make up for the almost flat back surface.
i ended up using it on my low profile tv rack.    
hirap pala masanay sa wallmount parang ang baba masyado ng nakapatong lang sa rack. 


btw special thanks to vic for saving me the hassle of selling my tv online before getting a new tv.
one stop buy and sell. 
and thanks for reasonably pricing my tv

Carlo777, i don't if it's just me, but i find the PQ of my 42PV80 better than X20.
what's your take on this?

[comitatus]

^

sa umpisa ganyan talaga yan, looks kinda pale...but switch off your lights! you'll mas maganda ang color nya over the pv80.

[abcerase]

sa mga owners po ng X20, how's xbox 360/ps3 gaming sa unit po na ito? Would it hurt po kung mga 4 hours per day for gaming?

[comitatus]

it won't...just make sure it's not used purely for gaming

shouldn't be a problem, but watch broadcast TV on it at least an hour a day cguro if your gonna play for four hours.

hi comitatus, once nai-uwi naman ang tv OK na.  sya nalang ang center of attention ko. 
still a plasma fan 
btw you were right about the reflections, kaya once i switch on the htpc patay lahat ng ilaw and dimmed ang room ko via window "covers"..
noticable lang naman ang reflections sa dark scene, at pag di mo naman hinanap di mo rin mapapansin 

[abcerase]

Thanks mam! Yep, going to watch some movies as well...
