TH50PHD7UY and TH50PH9UK - Japanese HDs & Blu-Ray HD Movies PICS - Page 6

Thanks dssturbo1 and Elemental1 Happy holidays to you guys.

yea I heard Richard bought the 9UK. I'm sure he'll be pleased. The black levels on this thing is awesome.


More pics..

9UK-only

The picture is good, but I really like the impression of this.

hey thanks.. I'm sorry for the late reply but I didn't have much time to explain with detail.

It's really the combination of everything, both TV, its setup, camera, and techiques of taking the pictures.

- 1080i/p video source
- Sufficient amount of contrast and sharpness on both PC and TV.
- Decrease in brightness by few notches in PC. Brightness untouched on TV.
- Expensive cables (*helps a little, but every little thing adds up here and there*)
- Direct connection and short length cables
- Ultimate quality digital camera - Something that has large CCD sensor that is able to capture colors superbly. I use Fujifilm FinePix F30, which is number one rated in Japan, and is the only one that comes close to, or rivals the SLR class high end cameras.
- Most importantly, I do this in controlled lighting environment. The amount of lights in the room and the amount of the lighting being emitted by the TV makes very critical factor. All my pics are done by manual adjustments on the camera. Shutter speed, aperture setting, exposure setting, ISO setting, focus setting, all had to be manually set depending on the lighting conditions. The camera is set on a tri-pod. Every camera is a little different(especially the ISO) so you will have to try different ISO, aperture, exposure, etc til you get really good pictures and comes closest to the real-time viewing. The picture resolution setting in the camera is generally good at 1024x768 but no more than 1600x1200. Also before taking the pictures set the camera back further - some 8~ 10 feet and use the optical zoom to fit the screen. Part of it is my sensitive - magic fingers.

Thanks..

The 8UK is a beast.

I don't have any cable services nor Dish. There are too many stations that I hardly watch and the video quality is crap.... so I feel it's not enough for me to subscribe it. But I think I'm gonna be renting Blu-Ray movies.

Hi... kweezr

Thanks My audio setup is crappy though.

Later on I might plan to get something like SBS-01 system.

any maybe Panasonic XR-57 for the receiver? i don't know yet....

Thanks for the offer.

I have an official statement. I have sold my 9UK!........ to my family.

So now I'm back to single monitor setup........ my beloved 7UY.

I helped them setup the 9UK at their home. I tried testing running the Japanese HD and again, knocked my socks off. This TV will be used mostly for DVD movies.

But they got no sound. They are no hardcore audiophiles though. I'm in the process of assisting them with an audio solution. If needed, I will certainly ask you, and the other member who helped me in the past.

On either TVs I sit 5 feet away for PC gaming.

On either TVs I sit about 9 feet away for SD contents.

On either TVs I sit about 7 feet away for HD contents.

So yes, it's variable depending on what I watch and what I feel like doing.

The 50" feels fairly big at aboved mentioned viewing distances, but I would like to have a 65" for 9+ feet viewing distance. The shrinkage-effect comes to you pretty quickly when you own the 50" for a bit. At first it was overwhelming, but now I feel they are like little tiny winnie toys.

I would like a 65" TV plzz! Send it over to me. Thank you.

Uh oh................

You sound excited.

After reading the new release information about the 9UK and RichB's experience with the 9UK having dramatic increase in black levels, I decided to go with it. I strongly believe that the lastest gen Pio still does not come on par with the latest gen Panny.

I would surely answer to you. My family needed a widescreen TV and it will be setup in very lit open environment. If I sell my 7UY to them the panel will be too reflective, due to the waxed panel. The 9UK hasn't been waxed, plus it has more anti-glare than the 7UY. The 9UK has really good anti-glare coatings onit.

I don't think I'm going to get the Pio in the future. When I buy my next plasma it'll be more likely the Fujitsu model..

I removed the TY-42TM6D DVI-D blade from the 9UK and put it on my 7UY. I will be posting more pics for the 7UY. The 9UK has already been setup at my family's house in the loft, in second floor. I will be posting some pics of that setup as well...

I PM'ed you Johnny.



It's really pretty one too. I'm trying hard to get one. It's not available in online store yet but they are available in Japan. I'm gonna try to get with some guys and see if I can get it. I'd like to post pics here but I don't want to get booted..

If you'd like I will PM you the screenshots once I get it...

9UK pics!


it's not fully done yet as you can see, but this is what it'll look like as far as how the plasma is setup. As for the stereo, they're still working on it.





The opposite side of the plasma.

Thanks BruZZi!!

I like the wall color as well. the wiring is messy but they all will be put up nice n tight once they get the sound system taken care of...

hey Johnny, as for the reason for selling my 9UK was due to much better anti-glare on the 9UK. My 7UY has less anti-glaring, and on top of that, because I waxed it, it's even more reflective. My family's house is very open, and very lit environment. During the day there is a lot of light coming through so the 9UK is needed. I don't think they'll be happy with my 7UY, but I love her.
