[Shawn1]

Some of the Neo PDPs are coming out in March!!!

 

[H_Prestige]

S1 series is the one to watch.


EDIT: So the X1 has the same black levels as the current panasonics?

 

[magillagorilla]

Not at all to be a grinch, but please post info in the existing 12g thread.

15 pages of speculation?

Time for a new dedicated thread.

 

[FAUguy]

There doesn't seem to be much difference between the P42G10 and P42S1.


It would be nice if they listed the MSRPs.

 

[H_Prestige]

The press release says the S1 has THX but it's not listed on the web page.

I don't see any differences between the 42-inch versions of the G10 and S1.


They both feature:


Neo PDP design

THX certified

1080 lines of motion resolution

40,000:1 native contrast ratio

Infinite Black panel

Which one should I get? I guess the least expensive one.

Edit:


Upon further reading the G10 series has the web menu and image viewer -- features basically useless to me.


I guess I'll be getting the TC-P42S1 in March.

Nice find!

 

[H_Prestige]

What is this Infinite Black Panel? Is that the same dynamic black layer in the VX100?

Whatever it is, it sounds like it will give us deep, inky blacks!

Probably not much better than the 08 lineup if the contrast is listed at only 40,000:1

Up from the 80U's 20,000:1.


The new models have a 2,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, up from 1,000,000:1 on the '08 models.


I've learned not to put too much stock into the stated contrast ratio, as it's only part of the black level equation.


Surely there are other things at work here that will give the '09 models very impressive black levels.

 

[creemail]

I agree Shawn. Black levels will be much, much deeper than the 11G Panny's. I will bet the NeoPDP will be about the same street price as what the current prices are with the PZ800 and PZ850 displays.

[H_Prestige]

These will be on display tomorrow right? I guess we'll find out then.

As far as black levels or the whole package?
