Hey, David
When are you going to be reviewing and posting picture settings for the Panasonic TC-P65V10 picture settings? Also if I use the current settings for the Panasonic TC-P50V10 picture settings will that work fine for the 65 inch?

Thank you for the settings David.
Can anyone tell me which particular settings would you change if viewing this set in a bright room?
Would you start with changing to "Vivid" picture mode?
Thx
contrast levels
by vid33nyc1 - 6/9/09 5:52 PM In reply to: Re: Panasonic TC-P50V10 picture settings by PhantomaI see in the picture settings the contrast(100) is very high.Isnt that dangerous for a plasma or any LCD for that matter
Panel Brightness (low) compensates...

...and in general high contrast/light output is not "dangerous." It does use more power, spend the incredibly long lifespan of the panel somewhat more quickly, cause eyestrain in dark rooms, however. It's not harmful to the panel itself, given the standard burn-in caveats regarding plasma:

Oh i see now thanks for clearing that up katzmaier.

When using these settings, does it significantly cut the life of the TV? My dad is a audio/videophile and he insisted that I break in the TV with this special DVD for 100 hours... is that really necessary? what are the benefits of that? is it too late to start it with about 6-8 hours of watching movies, tv and playing 360 right out of the box?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Bright Room
by HatecrewDr - 6/25/09 9:44 AM In reply to: Re: Panasonic TC-P50V10 picture settings by PhantomaI also was curious about bright room settings for day time viewing. So far love this set.
bright room
by janirminvielle - 7/15/09 5:33 PM In reply to: Re: Panasonic TC-P50V10 picture settings by PhantomaThe easy answer is use the custom settings, but turn the CATS function on that adjusts the picture for ambient light
what about the sound quality?
by zpop - 6/9/09 10:49 PM In reply to: Panasonic TC-P50V10 picture settings by katzmaier
are the speakers any good on the V10?
screen flicker with PC
by davin8r27 - 6/10/09 9:28 AM In reply to: Panasonic TC-P50V10 picture settings by katzmaier
Guys,
Just got my shiny new P50V10, upgrading from an LCD panel, and I am so incredibly disappointed by the flickering, especially with light-colored or white backgrounds, with my HDMI PC input (GeForce GTX 295 graphics card). It's like I'm back in 1992 with a 60 Hz CRT!
Is this inherent to plasma TVs in general when used as PC monitors? It seems there's no way to change the refresh to 96 Hz, even though the TV is supposedly technically capable of it via the 24p/96Hz function.
God I hope I didn't just blow $2,000.
PC and flicker
by MelissaKruse - 6/29/09 6:52 AM In reply to: screen flicker with PC by davin8r27One of the reasons most people should avoid using a PC as a Home entertainment source is that they are very difficult to set up.
I suspect the flicker you are seeing is because your video card is not outputting 24p
pc and flicker
by davin8r27 - 6/29/09 9:52 AM In reply to: PC and flicker by MelissaKruseWell, I've been using my PC as a home theater system for years now, and it's been great with a CRT or an LCD. My GeForce 295 GTX (the fastest and most advanced video card to date) can output 24p, but 24p flickering is even worse, even when I change the V10 to 96 Hz refresh (it's definitely outputting 24p or else the TV option to change to 96 Hz would be greyed out).
I'm selling my V10 and getting a Samsung LN52B750. The picture and video quality on the V10 is amazing, but the flickering with the PC is just too much.
