Official Panasonic 2011 TC-PxxST30 Thread [No Price Talk] - Page 151

Is there some setting I should be using to smooth this out? The only settings I've modified are D-Nice's calibration recommendations (which are great), everything else should be at default. I'm using a Panasonic BDT-210 Bluray player.

The motion in the lower right side of the screen stutters and is really jerky. At first I thought it was FBr due to the windows in the building but I haven't noticed any FBr in any other movie or games.

I was struggling to come up with the right word to describe the jerky or jumpy motion, stuttering is definitely a good one.

while looking at the st, the edges outling the objects on the screen appeared to be fuzzy to me.

I stepped back to where I thought I would be sitting in my living room, [ at 8 feet] and edges still seemed not as clean as they could be.

I looked at a 55" at sears and [ it was on a dish feed] it did not appear to have this. [ It was mounted up on the wall]

If I remember correctly, the hhg source was a dvd player, some different model pannys were on a direct feed.



Is this dithering? can it be corrected, or is 50" to big for a 8 foot distance? [ I don't have a large living room] I'd originally thought about a 46" but seems the general idea here is get as large as you can accomodate, and the 46" ones, now that I look at them just don't seem large enough,lol.




Does the st suffer from the "green glob" issue like gt?

Oh, I should mention, the gt picture did seem a bit darker [ dimmer?]except for vivid mode which was cartoonishly saturated IMO. However, a movie played in thx mode was truly exceptional.

thanks

I sit 9.5' away from a 65" and it can be bigger. 50" at 8 feet will be fine.

Also cant connnect on the Wifi to FIOS network router. It picks up the network but will not connect.
Any quick suggestions.
Thanks

I tried some of the settings mentioned here and so far it looks good. Here's a shot of it in the room. The photo's a tad distorted because I['m using a very wide angle lens.

The picture on this tv is gorgeous, but getting major problems like this after 3'ish months is brutal. I'm just glad it didn't happen right when the warranty goes... but of course who knows what will happen in the future.

Is there any possible way that this large black line could be some sort of random interference from a Denon-1611 or Panasonic BDT110 or TimeWarner HD Cable box?

Attached are the original pictures I posted when I saw this problem for the first time on the 65st30.
