New Plasma on the way...

[canuckle]

No reason to post this, other than being CRAZY excited about my new screen, coming in 10 days!

...crackinhedz...I may be looking for some help with settings for this bad boy...any chance you could help a brother out?

Can't wait to get it set up and see the first BD...now just got to decide what it will be! Trying to decide between Cars, Rattatoule, Casino Royale, Black Hawk Down, or something else.

Im still waiting 4 more days! I get my set on monday.

Sweet tv man. I know you'll enjoy that!

I've been warming up and watching my TH58-PZ800U and it is the best TV I've even seen. Yours is probably better.

You know, it's weird because at Best Buy they all looked like crap, but I think it's the lousy signal they feed to them.

Enjoy!

TomHuffman settings

...after reading around a while on the 85u, came across this guy. He's a pro calibrator with an 85u himself. This is the settings he personally came up with. It should give you a ballpark idea, if not precise settings.

[crackinhedz]

err....sorry.

I read to fast! youre getting the 850u?!!


lucky dawg.

[Lucy Diamond]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!

Enjoy

[Jim L]

And I was blown away again on my Panny plasma. Granted, this is not the greatest Pq movie, but I love it for other reasons. It just has more impact on the plasma.


Plasmas are better!!!!!

[crackinhedz]

I luv Kung Fu Hustle.

[PanasonicPlasmaMan]

850u... awww man you are going to love it!!
congrats and make sure you buy Band Of Brothers. That would be my first choice

Thanks bud, I'm really excited (I know, can't tell )

Thanks for the initial settings stuff, I'll be sure to post back and let you know the results.

Any thoughts on the best 'first BD'?

DAMN, the next 10 days are gonna be TORTURE! :LOL

Hmm, might have to check that out. What do you mean by 'impact'?

crackinhedz...how close do you think these may be to ballpark for the 850? Even if it's in the infield, it'd be a decent start maybe?

I'm definitely gonna get a pro calibration after break-in, but I want to at least be close 'outta the box' if you know what I mean

Great PQ and AQ and an amazing story

I am almost done watching it and am already wanting to rewatch it.

I guarantee you will LOVE it

By impact, I mean: the contrast, black levels, "pop", 3-dimensional effect.

All of those things. There's plenty of that in Kung Fu Hustle. It's a humorous action movie with great sound and characters. The plasma looks so good that it makes you think you're seeing something for the first time. Then you enjoy it all over again because you think about it the way you did the first time you saw it.

This is what I call "rewatch" value, just like replay value in games.

I can't wait to rewatch a bunch of my Blu-rays! Especially Band of Brothers.

Again, good enough for me. Thanks for the input!
