The OFFICIAL Panasonic 9UK Owner's Thread - Page 169

there is most definitely a market for the boards... especially the HDMI/DVI blades! Since the newer HDMI board is not backwards compatible there are many owners of older sets who would love to add more digital HD inputs.

if you'd like to give them away I'll take them off your hands

Thanks for the info. I would like to sell them for whatever is the going rate. Is there a for-sale section here?

would it not be cheaper/simpler to just replace the whole set?

So I'm considering "cutting the cord."
Any suggestions for an affordable tuner and HD antenna for my 9UK?
Also, I live in Manhattan. Am I going to be able to pick up a decent signal (or any signal for that matter) with an antenna?

There are many options out there...just depends on what you want to get out of it. Are you just looking to watch TV, or do you want DVR capabilities?

As far as antenna and signal goes, start with antennaweb.org. Then, check the OTA forums for the appropriate NYC thread:

Thanks for the info.
I'd be interested in knowing what's been working for other people.

I don't have an HDMI blade so my options are VGA and component. Does VGA provide a better picture than component with the Xbox 360?

whoa and oldie but a goodie thread comes to life

Yes VGA would be better, on my panny 42 phd8 I grew tired of having to switch cables so now use hdfury, everything is connected via my amp, if your lazy like me then the cost of hdfury is worth it

Is the TY-ST20K stand compatible with the 42PH9UK display?

Sorry but no.

You need TY-ST08K, TY-ST07K, TY-ST05K, TY-STPA20, TY-PF1, TY-PF3

TY-ST20 only fits newer Pro Series 20 and 30.

bummer, so they decided to change the post spacing on the new 20/30 series Pro displays?

That is correct, also changed are the bolt mounting patterns and tread and pitch.
PIP (picture in picture) is eliminated in the Series 30 to make way for 3D capability.
And the 720p "PH" Series 30 models no longer feature option board slot 2.0
The 1080p "PF" Series 30 models DO have the option slot.

Merry Christmas or Happy whatever Holiday you may celebrate.

Anybody out there have a stand for this panel that they don't need anymore? I'm interested in getting one...please PM me, if so.
