its like those tickers - what am I sosposta read this or listen to the show? I cant do both!


but yea the 8G's blacks are unacceptable to me, I havent seen the 9G in person yet but if it is even slightly grey I cant have it

burn in is a major concern of mine since I know 3 people who have plasms that are burnt in permanently, one from only playing Madden on PS2, (you can see the score in the corner) and the others from HTPC's and the start button or the scroll bars along the side of the screen and bottom



I guess the question would be, is there a way to get the display replaced from burn in? - do they say this cant happen anymore? - burn in that is

or could I do something to the display to render it broken for the purpose of getting it replaced because of burn in - if it wont turn on can they really tell there is burn in?

2. I have the 8G panel, I don't see "grey" in the blacks. Are you sure you're not seeing it perform under "Dynamic Mode"?

3. The industry unanimously find that the 8G was the blackest panel ever built... and it's not black enough for you? weirrrrrrd.

I also returned some DLP's and LCD's as well - now I cant buy electronics at my local best buy, I have to go to another one that I havent returned 5 TV to, he he he

so the 8G is not good compaired to the 9G but hows the 9G as compaired to CRT's

What is this setting if I may ask? Pixel Orbiter? Im getting a new Panny hopeflly and am wondering if it will have this option for gaming.

Thought it was just me.

well lets just say that after I did this 5 times or more, he had apparently researched it in the weeks following my "laughing in his face" because of the comment about CRT's, and the return of the 3rd TV in only 12 days, after this we tried 2 plasmas one a Pioneer - non KURO - and 1 a Panasonic (maybe 800u or something like that) which both were returned only 3 days after getting them home and calibrated properly were not up to par with my CRT

it was after the last TV was returned that I was told I cant get anymore at this store and I was pointed to a Magnolia store (which I didnt even know I had in this state) and now I have held off on getting more so I dont get kicked out of this store and maybe get a kuro 9G

It was worse on the left side, which leads me to believe it was caused by the channel guide on my old Dish 812 reciever, which got used a lot. The guide on this model did not fill the screen so it left black bars, and the left side was much brighter than the right in contrast to the black bars. I now have a VIP 622 so that shouldn't be an issue.

There is no question in my mind that my new plasma may burn if I'm not careful. I'm just completing my break in period, so far have not noticed any IR. The 50pz80 (my TV) demo unit at Sears, which has been playing Blu-Ray movies with black bars top and bottom almost exclusively all day long for several months, did show some IR when I switched to full screen but within a minute there was no trace that I could see.

I know some have claimed that it is still an issue if you know how to look for it, but if you don't notice it in normal viewing I wouldn't consider it a critical issue.

I guess my point is that although I don't doubt burn in could happen, even with my previous burn-in experience I'm not too worried about it. For the money, Plasma is just too good to pass up. I like LCD, but to get similar overall picture quality in a 50" I would have had to have spent a lot more money.

I dont notice this as much when I watch HD TV. I have the SA HD recorder from comcast. I am using the same HDMI cables on my SA box and my HD-A3 player. I dont know if it's in the cables or what. I have seen people talking about these new 1.3 HDMI cables but I dont know what the big difference is. Can someone shed some light on this matter?

I will pass on that one and just guess that it has over 500 hours on it. I get IR every now and then, but it goes away. I wasnt aware about running the scrolling deal at least once a week for a couple hours so I will start doing that. First plasma I have owned and it is fantastic. Thanks once again daniel'son
