Hi All,

Can you guys tell me if your unit can fade to true black (zero illumination) in all modes?

Mine fades to dark gray only for eco, standard, and cinema modes. However, I was surprised to see (after 100+ hours break-in) that dynamic mode fades to true black when brightness is set to 51 below.

Negative points I noticed include a minor slow brightness "pulsing" in certain picture areas (all sources). It's very hard to reproduce but the effect is minor. There's also green phospor lag when in high contrast b/w scenes. Lastly I noticed motion blurring in some high speed scenes.

Overall a very good tv and my meralco bill didn't even change after one month heavy use

Also try removing the coax cable connected to the tv, its a possible culprit. Then watch a direct source like a dvd player and check if the waves are still present. Hope this helps well as well..

sir wala pong coax cable na nakalagay, but i'll try to watch a dvd player and check. thanks sir sa advise! ..post ko po result

Hi sirs,

Matanong lang,

Possible ba na machange yung refresh rate ng plasma na ito while in PC mode (via vga cable)?
Sa akin kasi 60hz lang e kaya medyo masakit sa mata. I'm using ATI video card

Tahimik na mga PV owners a

.
I'm sure simply because you are enjoying at parang batang bigyan ng kendi

.
Ako din sobrang inlab pa din. Pag uwi ko nakatutok kaagad ako sa panny ko

.
Sulit na sulit na.

Hi Folks,

I'm a new 42PV80 owner (barely 2 weeks) and parati na ako nagmamadali umuwi para makapanood ng movie every night.

Anyone here who can share their settings para miximized yung features? Kung pwede sana yung before and after 100 hours calibration settings. Main use will be for cable and movie viewing.

TIA.

@Carlo777

Thank you very much. I actually read this thread before buying the TV. Too bad TW in Trinoma ran out of stocks when I finally made up my mind to get the PV80. I got the TV from Ansons but no regrets since I got a good deal. Sayang lang kasi I'm sure the after sales service will not be the same as TW.

Congratulations sir,

Yes, noticeable difference between the old DVD player and the upscaler DVD, in terms of picture quality...

Have fun sir,...

Mukhang kakaiba model nung sa yo a... pv 08? hehe... Congrats sa PV80! Sobrang sulit at ganda nyan.
Upscale? Don't know much the difference between an DVD upscaler 1080i vs 1080p? My guru, is there a big difference in PQ between these?

If I were you I'll just stick and enjoy to the fullest your current player. Laspagin mo na yan muna! Ako nga until now I use a regular DVD player (not upscale + ordinary rca plug), masaya na missis ko

hehe.

No need to buy a new DVD player while your old one still works fine.

Just wait for your DVD player to break down, then buy a new upscaling DVD player when it does.
