Do you really expect me to be able to follow the ever changing rigs of yours and Bargain Billy's .............................. ?

[Show spoiler]I'm kinda old

So what'd you get ?

I picked up a Panasonic TC-P50G10. It is a THX certified 1080p 50 inch plasma TV with low panel hours and looks virtually new.

The wife and I went for a bike ride a while ago. Now it's time for more PIE!

Nice. I gotta track down some pumpkin pie! Bike ride....not so much for me.

We binge watched Westworld and now we are on Stranger Things, f'in awesome.

I recently picked up a TC-P50G10 with low panel hours and in near perfect shape. After a little research on AVS forums I discovered a device that resets the black levels to "as new". It's called a PMCv2 from an AVS member. See the before and after pics.


Anybody with a Panasonic plasma should pick one of these up.

Interesting device you have there. I'm getting a Drablet like gimmicky vibe. Thoughts?

Hey Wabs,
Not quite the same. It plugs into the service port and resets the black levels. Check it out here. Huge following over at AVS where I discovered it while drudging through the old plasma threads. It is a circuit board but those are in almost anything now.

Good Morning Bugzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting premise. It tricks the tv into thinking it's new again. I look forward to your thoughts after playing with it awhile.

Please forgive me .................... I thought I replied to this post already ........................

Congratulations ....... on joining the Panasonic VIERA club

I have their first THX certified panel and it's still going strong

No "cracking" involved. Just take the service cover off and plug it in. Took way less than 5 minutes. On your TV I believe it is that little cover under the HD I ports.

So the circuit board just hangs inside the case or does it screw down ?

And I think I may have a problem with my secondary display though

My TC-P42C1 is on the Unknown/Unverified list

It just hangs there, it is pretty small. If you send an email first you can get a discount if you order one for your unverified panel and according to the site it is free if it is incompatible.

.................. Maybe.................. I should just order the one unit and swap it out between the 2 displays and if all goes well with the C1 I'll order the second

Does the adjustment happen immediately after installing the chip ?
