TH50PHD7UY and TH50PH9UK - Japanese HDs & Blu-Ray HD Movies PICS - Page 2

Good spankie!!

hey thanks Joon TV. Just take good measurement using leveler and you're good to go. My 7UY is virtually perfectly leveled, but my 9UK is *slightly* off level by 2mm I think.. Nah I don't live in Japan(I wish ). I live here in the states, and luckly I have some good internet source to rely on getting some good Japanese HDs. All these are 1080i HD recorded from Japanese TV shows and music video stations, and playback using my HTPC. Yea I try to get best out of what I have. I still got more rooms. Later on I'm gonna Pro ISF calibrate my 7UY and watch this thing whoop my 9UK lol..

Joon TV, no, not much. The PQ improvement will be more noticeable from a TV that's hooked up to regular cable box/DVD player/ or other video receiver when doing ISF calibration. On a specially set HTPC(with high-end graphics card) a lot of the picture improvement can be made via graphics card's video adjustments. By tweaking this you can get good PQ out of it, to the way you would like it. I can adjust vibrance of the color/hue/saturation and contrast in both desktop and 2D videos. Getting an ISF calibration will only make it better, even to an existing HPTC setup, but is not likely going to be a big jump as the video output is already tweaked from HTPC. But things like deep black and white levels will be improved for sure.

TH50PHD7UY

Thanks guys.

orogogus, my video card from the HTPC made a huge impact in PQ and ability to resolve details in the dark scenes. So far I've been getting awesome results on both sets when viewing SD DVD movies and if you see some of the pics directly comparing two TVs viewing Star Wars you'll see how impressive the 7UY performs it's almost dead equal to the 9UK.

I currently do not have the HD-DVD player as I've been waiting to get the HD-DVD PC Drive, but I've got plenty(aweful a lot) of Japanese HDs.

The nVidia graphics from the notebook gave me similar issue with image *noise* in pretty much any type of video and color levels. But it was gone *completely* after switching to the new HTPC w/ ATi x1950XTX card. I also had no picture noise issue when I used to run it through my old ATi x800XT card, very good at noise reduction. But this new card has virtually no noise.


JoonTV, the Pio 5070's are very nice TVs. I was *this* close to buying the Pio Elite 1140HD. I am envy to have that set.


RichB, thanks for the comment. Though in real viewing experience I still love the way 7UY displays images. The color tones it generates really attracts me, though I also am very impressed with the 9UK's strength in better detail and color textures. In some of the videos I view, there's something that 7UY has, makes the images look more pleasing to my eyes. But in some other videos I like the 9UK better. Basically I'm happy to have both TVs. I need both of them.

Rich, you know, before I bought the x1950xtx I thought it was not going to provide me 1366x768 via DVI but it certainly gives me a perfect 1366x768 1:1 pixel mapping. The texts are unreal, razor sharp, very clean, and perfectly even across the screen. It looks even better than viewing on my Sony CRT monitor and a little LCD monitor. This card is also providing 1366x768 on my 7UY using SVGA cable. I was surprised on that, too. Yes it must be the late model ATi card offering such nice resolution. All the 7UY pics you're seeing is with the SVGA cable.

Joon TV, I'm no longer using my laptop to view the videos on my plasmas. I use my new HTPC which I love very much. The PQ quality between the DVI and HDMI is about the same, but for PC connectivity, the DVI is better to work with the display resolutions, for example, you cannot do 1:1 ratio Pixel mapping with the HDMI. I also get fantastic result with the ultra high-end SVGA cable plugged to my 7UY. Texts are not as good as the DVI, but in pictures... oh weeeee very very aggressive. Knock my socks off, as you can see the pics of my 7UY below. Overall though, the 9UK still edges out. I'll admit that.


tsteves , thanks man. yea it's a solid steel and it does not break or bend. It's stonger than it looks in the pics.




Here are some more 7UY pics..














The 7UY took the flyswatter and tried to spank 9UK but it looks like the flyswatter wasn't enough to spank it. Instead, it got spanked by 9UK. I'm embarassed now. Oh wee. meow meow. Was a close call though, but like what Rich said, the 9UK does have better and deeper color depth and rich textures than the 7UY.

more pics.

























Oh.. My... God










Holly toledo..

BSHi 1080i

9UK

Whether it's grandma or grandpa or whatever the nationality or the age they are, if they're in any form of HD beauty and look pleasing to the eyes, the pics WILL be posted without any hesitation(not the pr0n, of course.). Don't worry about who needs a wife. It's all about *Picture Quality*, so don't get mislead there so easily, buddy. Or it could be the viewers(the readers in this forum) could turn into pervert. It all depends on *how* they accept and think.....


You see, this is another great concept... which people ought to know(I know a lot of experienced members here know the concept already). It's also found in IamAnoobieCheez's Idea Concept Chapter 7. Or something like that.

Hey tsteves, thanks for the post. yea I really enjoy posting pics.. and more pretty pics! It's all about beauty of the HD and anything that look pleasing to the eyes. It is non of my business how others will accept the pictures I post here. I'm just greatful to hear that you and others enjoy my pics.. Thank you for the support.. I will post some more pics when I can.. I have so much... but is also not easy to take pics.. I'll post more later.

Yea man.. the 9UK is an awesome TV. I get impressed more and more day after day. With a little bit of tweaking the 9UK can turn into a monster. I think it's got better and deeper texture and color depth than any other brand/model plasma TVs I have seen before. I'm sure you will be very happy with the set. This TV also seems to have a lot of anti-glare coatings and helps a lot when watching during bright daylight. It is much less reflective than my 7UY.. but then also because I waxed my 7UY like crazy before..

RichB, I'm sorry I was going to let you know on that and forgot to say it. The 9UK has quite a bit darker blank desktop screen than the 7UY. 9UK is better.

The group called "Every Little Thing"

Lighting performance... the lighting was just right and I took the chance to shoot em. The pics were taken during bright day time too.




















What's amazing is that you can still see the details on the wall behind the bright lights.

hey thanks Rich. Yea the 9UK had blacker black desktop background color. Both TVs are on exact same setup due to Clone mode. I'm sure the 65" version of 9UK will rock in terms of black levels. I think Rich Harkness too said something about the increase in black levels on the 9UK 65" version didn't he.
