1080P Finally! - Blu-ray Forum

Genocide316 · 07-26-2008, 11:43 PM

I took the plunge today! Circuit City had a deal I couldn't turn down on a Panasonic TH-50PZ85U. This will be replacing my current Samsung 50" in my sig thats about 3 years old. Also bought a Onkyo 606 receiver too I didn't want to gimp the sound

I have to wait a few days for it to get in stock but ohh man I am so stoked!!!!!!!!

Congrats get it all hooked up calibrate it, then put in your favorite disc and crank it up. My new fav for sound is The Mummy Returns.

Nice what did you get?

to quote Mr. Burgundy

I don't know what to say I just got excited...I wanted to shout it at the top of a mountain but I didn't have a mountain all I had were these Blu-Ray Forums!

speaking of calibration.....I'm more than likely going to have it done. does anybody have any tips or tricks for the brand new tv? my old plasma I just hooked it up and started watching stuff....I've heard of break in periods etc. any recommendations?

definitely let it break in for a while before you pay any money for professional calibration.

also during the break in stage you can use this Plasma Break In DVD.

Its not mandatory, but it will help your tv in the long run.

Awesome!

Make sure you break in your TV. I gave my Panny about 100 hours of break in time...but I know this is a highly debated subject.

I usually see 300-500 bucks....Best Buy has a pretty standard calibration for like 100 bucks and then there special mama jam is like 300 I think.

Jeeez....i'll just stick with the DVE calibration I did on my own. The more and more I watch my Panny plasma the more and more I start to nitpick over the picture. But shoot...$500 is 25% of the MSRP on the TV!
