as promised, i will post my observations on the panasonic 42pv8 as soon as i have my unit...
these are coming from a previous 42pv70 user.
anyway, it was delivered kanina courtesy of theater works. (mr.jeff! thanks a lot! dapat may TF na ako sa publicity mo eh! hahaha!) excellent customer service again! unbeatable prices pa!
--- end of plugging --- <---HAHAHA!
when it was first setup, noon kasi dumating, daylight. at first parang i thought...hmm, parang slight to no difference from the pv70, cable tv viewing to. so ok, sige tuloy lang watch ng tv...i'm not saying it's bad, i'm just looking for the advantages over the pv70 which is already a good unit.
then i decided to watch a movie in the evening...and eto na....
MY JAW LITERALLY DROPPED DOWN WITH ASTONISHMENT!
blacks were blacker compared to the PV70!
colors were more vibrant!
crisper and sharper pictures!
very detailed displays!
i have never seen a bang for the buck plasma this good!
i believe this is because of the higher contrast ratio, dynamic contrast and new G11 panel that makes the overall display so pretty...muntik na ko mapaluha sa tuwa while watching a movie! (to think na horror film pa ang pinapanood ko!)
pictures were soft on the eye even if you turn the contrast higher, 12 ft. away ako from the tv. pitch black room.
never had eye strain or fatigue on this unit..
...pero nangawit ang panga ko....kasi unconsciously nakangiti ako the whole time while watching! natuwa ako sa performance eh!
i've been through a lot of different displays, and i can say that i can spot the good points already.
definitely worth the upgrade!
and i am talking about SD performance pa lang!
can't wait to go hi-def!
any recommendations?!
ehem...calling mr. jeff again....hahaha!
thanks a lot!
happy and satisfied panasonic owner here!
