The Official Samsung PNXXC7000 Owners Thread

Just thought I would start a specific model thread. I thought the other one is getting too cluttered with different models.

I've asked in the other thread but havent gotten much response maybe due to all the clutter.

But has ANYONE else have this issue when using 2d to 3d conversion, when a scene changes quick from light to dark and back (I think this is when it happens) that the glasses "flicker", for lack of a better word.

One example is on the Prince of persia trailer, if played in 2d > 3d conversion.

I had my PN58C7000 replaced already from Amazon due to faulty HDMI ports, and I don't remember that one doing this. That was an older firmware and the replacement is on 1019. So I'm not sure if it's the firmware or my TV or if it's just normal for everyone.

I've been testing this with different content. It did happen with MvA when they are about to go to the church and a black car pulls up. Most of the picture is darker, then when it moves to the brighter part it seems to momentarily lose sync. I recreated it twice, then I couldn't get it to do it again.

Can ANYONE please test this out? Either with that or with the prince of persia trailer (it's on the xbox and ps3). It mainly happens when the screen goes black and then back..

I'm going to have to determine if I should exchange this one too so I appreciate if anyone else can help me out.

Ok - I tried Avatar in 2d to 3d conversion. The scene where he goes to sleep in the trees and the screen goes to white just before Ripley (oop - sigourney weaver) wakes him with her flashlight.. the glasses flicker. It did it 2 out of 3 times.

Can someone *please* test this on yours and let me know if it happens to you or not?

It's being discussed at AVFORUMS. Some people are reporting the same issue on the PSxxc7000 (equivalent of the US PNxxC8000).

That's not U.S. people, so I don't know if there's a difference since nobody here is saying they have this issue.

I do wish someone here would test what I've done and see if it happens. All these posts of people with the tv, you'd think someone would have seen this or test what I have done.

I'm going to exchange it and see what happens.

Is the "line", on the top? Try turning "pixel shift" off. When pixel shift is on, depending on the setting. Rows of pixels on the top, and side will "shift" on and off, to allow room for the pixels to "shift" across the screen.

Option 1) Toggle the game mode setting on/off.

Option 2) Enter the service menu and change the model # to c8000. You will then have the option to disable MJC. See this thread for instructions... http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1242723

Thanks! Did the service menu "upgrade". Worked like a charm!

Man, I love this TV. I have the B550 from last year, whose picture I quite enjoyed, and this TV has (completely subjective statement ahead! LOL!) 3 times the PQ. Just an awesome set!

Thanks again!

Sorry to hear about your run of bad luck. Based on other 2010 Samsung plasma threads, the biggest issues have been buzzing or cracked screens. Third time's a charm, right?

My TV buzzes like a bee, but once I start watching anything it is not noticeable. Same can be said for my 550. Is it acceptable? Probably shouldn't be but I (and those who watch with me) barely notice it, if at all.

Still, I have heard stories of sets that damn near hum!

I was on the fence about getting a 58c7000 or a 58v10. My fear was the buzzing or rising blacks. I've heard the v10 has a great picture but I felt that I would have to wait a long time to find out if the pq would degrade. With the samsung, if I get a buzzer I'll just return it.
Can u turn off the judder on the c7000? Is changing the model # inside the service menu the only way?

for the people who have buzzing, is it really *that* loud?

I have some buzzing on my pn58c7K, but it's not noticeable when I watch TV because the sound of the TV washes it out. Either I'm deaf or mine isn't as bad as you guys. I only hear it when I change channels (mainly)

This hasn't happened to me, but I don't have Avatar. I will say I watch a lot of 2D->3D converted, and haven't seen this behavior. I have seen my glasses flicker once or twice (total), but it hasn't happened regularly enough for me to investigate further.

I am considering the 50" but would like to be able to turn off the motion judder as I can't stand that soap opera effect. I read about going into the service menu but I also ready about some issues with that too. Any chance future fw upgrades will enable this?

Samsung needs to release a firmware upgrade that permanently toggles off MJC on the 7000 series. Until then, if you do not want to enter the service menu, just read the post 14 in this thread!

I changed the model number in the service menu and now i have the option to toggle mjc on or off, I find that much more convenient.

I read in the other thread "I turned my c7000 into a c8000" that a couple of people turned their sets to say c8000 and were getting intermitant blackouts every couple hours. Anyone else experience this?

Give 'em some time to answer. Their sets were probably blacked out from changing the model number
