I also know for sure tha tat least some of the images around here are certainly not representative of .012. The images being used to show .012 that I have seen show more like .5
.012 is still incredibly dark next to most if not all LCD's out there.
You are truly clueless! My set, a 58" PZ800U, went from 0.008 brand new to 0.015 after 500 hours. I noticed a difference, as did my wife and friends. Picture quality is fantastic still, and better than pretty much all LCDs, however I paid hard earned $$$ for the deep black that is 0.008. Had I known that that deep black was only gonna last 500 hours (100 hours of which was my break-in period!), then I would've saved some money and gone for a Samsung plasma or spent some more money and gone for a Pioneer Kuro. The point is that I, like most other Panasonic customers, feel like Panasonic ripped me off!
And as D-Nice has stated, and as it has been proven in so many other threads, the EyeOne Display colorimeter is very capable of accurately measuring black levels, down to about 0.002 ftL, so stop using that lame argument.
