Official Samsung 2011 PNxxD7000 Thread - Page 22

Anything to offset it or is that just the way it is? I just realized I had it on movie mode at the time, going to try some other settings

Weird, my Pioneer plasma never did any such thing or it was just so much less pronounced it wasn't noticeable.

Hey couple of things, I just order this tv and was wondering:

1. Is there any Service Menu Timer (like with Panasonic) to keep an eye on how many hours I've had the TV on for/broken in?

2. Reading the manual online I saw Samsung recommends 4" space in all directions for proper ventilation, my old entertainment unit should barely fit the TV...But it will be open backed, think that will that provide sufficient ventilation?

What color is your background supposed to be? It looks like it is getting WAY to bright to be black, or even gray. I would look at your settings and make sure you don't have some dynamic contrast turned on, or your brightness/contrast cranked up way to high.

Any suggestions for the easiest route (fewest steps) for wirelessly displaying movies taken on my iphone onto the tv?

Apple TV via Airplay... $99 Very nice. I have one connected to my 51D7000...

Totally agree. Sweet device, great sound. Can stream videos, movies, pics on ur iPhone or PC Mac iTunes library. U don't have to get the new movies on iTunes but that a definite bonus!!!!

Free app called imedia share. Then please send $50 of that $99 to me.

Imediashare does the trick, thanks!

Background is a medium gray, it might not translate too well with the quality of the video. I'm just using the default Movie setting and haven't changed anything, and all dynamic settings are turned off. I don't think anything is set too high because the PQ is excellent overall especially w/blacks and dark scenes.

I watched NHL on HD last night and it did look kind of dull but not too bad. Lowering contrast and/or brightness just made it worse

Ain't it cool? No hardware, no wires, no input changes, and no big profit to Apple!

lol I was gonna reply basically the same thing, "and you didn't have to give any more of your hard earned money to Steve Jobs" but figured it would just start a war

Oh, so this is typical? I'm the one that was complaining about this sort of dimming earlier in this thread and have not found a fix since. Does this ABL thing also brighten darks that are too intense, because I see my darks strangly become greyer in some scenes too.

Is there any way to turn this setting off?

Ok I'll bite. I'd say the A square is darker. Of course what would be bothersome would be if it changed while I was looking at the board, no?

Follow up question: Does the evidence so far say that Zetherin's issue may exist on both the D7000 and D8000s? Any difference?

Yeah its a trick question they're actually the same color. Although koffas, shouldn't the question be is B darker then A? With the summary you wrote above it seems the lighter square background (B) should make B appear darker then A with its gray background...but maybe I'm forgetting it's the shadow thats supposed to cause the effect..

Who's Chad? I haven't been able to find any reviews on this set whatsoever.

So if my blacks get greyer it's floating blacks, and if my whites get dimmer, it's ABL. Or, alternatively and possibly, I'm the victim of an optical illusion.


Ive tried describing it the best I can. I've refrained from using photos as I know they won't help. But essentially the problem I have with whites is what was shown in those two YouTube videos posted on the last page. And as for the blacks, they become greyer during some scenes. Or, it appearsthey do.

Wait, so with dimmer scenes, the blacks are more pronounced, but with brighter scenes the blacks float up? What does "float up" mean again exactly? Please excuse my ignorance.

Thank you for the link and information.

Definitely not an optical illusion. I see it all the time, even since I turned up the cell light to 20, though it does seem to have helped a little. There are random shifts in brightness, and when you notice it the most is in low action scenes, say if a person is on screen and moving ever so slightly. Or if the camera is moving very slowly in a static environment. You can easily see when the shifts happen. On faster moving scenes it probably happens so rapidly and your eyes are following the action more that you don't notice it.

Right now I have cell at 20, contrast 75 and brightness 50, gamma 1 and everything else default in movie mode, except from warm 2 to warm 1. I had contrast set to 100 at first to try out somebody elses suggested settings, and that caused a lot of weird flickering, most notably when I would scroll through menus on the PS3 XMB. The solid areas of the screen would flicker very noticeably. Turning the contrast to 75 has minimized that artifact greatly, though I can still notice it a little bit.

I can confirm this was the same case for me too. I just went into the SM, powered off, powered back on and that issue was gone.

Yes, I do notice the brightness fluctuation you describe. I suppose the thing I really want to know first is - is this the norm, or do we have defective units? If other people are not experiencing this, it's hard to write it off as ABL, right?

I'm breakin n my PN59D7000 and I came across 1 dead pixel only when the green slide is playing should I be concerned? Is it worth returning for a new one?

No buzzing from my panel!!!

Thanks

I've really only noticed it with my PC, only slightly and few and far between w/regular viewing.

On a side note, I just watched Space Station in 3D through DirecTV and it was quite amazing, breath taking sometimes even

Zetherin, if you haven't already try playing w/the Dynamic Contrast settings. I just tested w/my PC and with it set to high and my all white window stays completely white when maximized, no change whatsoever. The dimming when moving the window like in my video is substantially less. I'd say about a 70% difference.

Can't wait to try it w/hockey(go Bruins) and w/regular viewing. I'll probably start with low and go from there. Setting it on high might make me a little nervous about burn in

Interesting find there, please do continue to experiment with it.
