so picked up the G10...

I will put in my 2 cents:When you are done breaking it in,I would recommend spending some time callibrating it.I would imagine it has several memory places for picture setting.I would set the three at different prefs as some films looks great with vivid colours,while others are better subdued.

I am NOT an advocate of one universal "Greatest" setting.But others may dissagree here

I disagree- I think you should set it up to be as accurate and eye-pleasing as possible and let the director play over that with his own color choices. It's your set though, and if you like that, you can certainly set up the G10 to do that.

There are some posts in the calibration section of people's settings. I personally don't ascribe to the break-in period at all, and am approaching about 150 hours or so. I will recalibrate it again to see if there's any difference once I hit 200, but I don't think you have to break it in to avoid image retention. I get very very little now and it almost always disappears quickly.

Whatever you decide, enjoy the set!

What is "greatest" is subjective and therefore irrelevant. What people strive for in calibrations is the most realistic, true to the directors intent vision of the movie possible. This is not always, and very often not perceived as the "greatest" picture, especially by casual movie watchers.

REgarding the question about 600hz plama vs 60hz LCD, I didn't see it answered yet in this thread, so to simplify, it's two different technologies. The 60hz of an lcd, can't really be compared to the 600hz sub field drive of a plamsa which is basically 60hzX10 sub fields.

I guess if one really wants a simple anwser, a 600hz plasma is kind of like a 60hz lcd but with way smoother motion and no motion blur. A 120hz lcd can smooth out the motion, but with the trade off of a less natural looking picture.
