High-Tech Design bomb, grenade image and sound wonder - Best 42 "flat screen TV!

Hi, so about this TV you no longer have to actually tell a lot.
He's been to become as a sort of legend among the people who use it for some time. I myself have now stand him since August 06, 2008 and he conjures up anew every day, a grin on my face when I come home in the evening and sit down on my bed :).
He now has exactly 1170 hours of operation. This way, you can check where you:
1. On the TV program "-" button and holding down
2. on the remote control then 3 times the 0th
This one comes into the service menu.
But be careful, after you've looked at the bottom right after the operating time, press or adjust anything else. This tip should already be known in the art (HIFI forum), but it is only for information.
3. Then Exit button on the remote and you're back
get out of the Service.

For image: I can only say from 500 hours, about I could again observe a significant increase with respect to contrast, sharpness and color reproduction. And by the way, at the same serene settings.

Mode: Cinema [beams are divided into 63 steps even when PZ 80.85
and PX 80 and possibly also the previous models, PZ 700, etc.]

Color: 50% (32 steps)

Sharpness: +1 Step (always from the center);

Brightness: -2 Steps;

Contrast: +1 Step (33 Steps)

Color: normal.

The further improvement to the already previous near perfection can be seen simply :).

The Panasonic is a real high-tech device with enormous audiovisual performances and an extremely good price / performance ratio.
The sound with its 31 watts RMS exceeds the 80's and 85's model again by as much as 11 watts (these models are incidentally also really great) .So a sound I've never heard in a TV.
Whether, for example, in The Dark Knight (Blu-ray) or when Shakira Blu-ray always super rich sound and bass without even the slightest distortion.
People have the Dolby Digital headphones, can look forward (I have not got :(), since the PZ 800 decoded internally to Dolby Digital Plus, and this is then also over corresponding headset.
Granted, I do in Effect blockbusters eh my system, but save for late in the evening and for bissle power is the sound from the TV more than just an alternative.
The native contrast ratio of 30,000: 1 (dynamic 1 million: 1, but is ne really unimportant information) rocking everything away what you know.
It is always important to the native contrast. Even LCD TVs with LED (Light Emitting Diode) backlight and local dimming technology can not keep up with the raven-black levels remotely, because there are "only" also like dimmed between 1000 and the 4000-5000 2000-3000 appliances fields.
These TVs have then indeed often a dynamic contrast of 2,000,000: 1, which is worth nothing, because the native still at loose under 6,000 but: 1.
The dynamic contrast is so high because of the tremendously bright backlight for LCDs (I speak here of the new LED backlight TVs) which is possible a very high value white could be achieved with a corresponding setter. But would even the last your eyes hurt. So it is only a theoretical value of dynamic contrast, and one should be careful and not give it. Always inform by native contrast! The constant and real presence.

In a plasma, each pixel has its own color chambers and his own luminosity is enormous also in daylight. Especially from 1000 hours, the phosphorescent gas is in the plasma cells "grow up". Because in plasma cells, there is a process of aging. This model 100,000 hours of operation at full contrast and brightness (but who is already so high;)) (Do not worry: even at the beginning from the 1.Sekunde luminosity, color, black levels and sharpness almost perfect and miles better than anyone. LCD).

This TV also does not make the mistake of many LCDs and sharpens the image or oversaturated colors.
The image is always sharp crack but never with double edges, etc. to fight.
The colors are very natural.
The result:
In Planet Earth (Blu-ray) has often feel out of the window or look down from a helicopter onto the partially insane natural beauty of our planet.
The focus is mainly in documentaries on Blu-ray; stunning) (or Shakira).
It's just natural sharpness. You can not explain, but one must-see.
The eyes (most important sensory organ of man;)) are thus protected. This is evident at the latest after the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy in nem darkened or completely dark room. There is nothing flashy or so, and tired eyes are then also not yet. - Unless you're so tired from work;)

The successor models (which the very thin in terms) not to have less than 50 "In addition, the native contrast was only 40,000.. Raised 1 But I tell you that black make even blacker and then see the difference that you can only by any test software measurements (and who does something like this / important is what you can see with your own eyes).
What Pioneer is concerned, the current models have until 50 "Full HD. Among them there for NEN exorbitant price" only "HD ready. The black is just as good as the the Pana, maybe even a bit darker, but whether the significantly higher value justifies that I doubt it (and 1600 are already a lot of money).
Let swayed not by any special interest magazines, although even in these, the majority has the PZ 800 given the better grade than the 50 "Full HD Pioneer 5090. What results primarily from the very good price / performance ratio of the Pansonic.

BUT:
These magazines often use test Blu-rays or DVDs and my test to be able to recognize it if the black levels are better or not.

AND:
One should not interpret as "The Word of God" or something and give them too much faith the terms and word choices in such magazines.
Behind all these reviews put people like you and me. These have all their personal tastes and preferences. This is nunmal in all areas as: audio, video, home cinema, car etc ...
True objectivity is a myth, which does not exist in reality. In the case of this TV was also back for me personally in the initial phase in August '08:
The only true test for me, is the one I'm doing myself. And that is the experience test. This is for me personally to be replaced by no magazine in the world. In August I was still skeptical that the TV would not perhaps still get any "teething" or something. But this initial skepticism, I've basically in electronic devices, more enthusiasm.

So what is now but really important for us users? Important though is whether we like the picture. So when I get home, would I really something missing my picture with such a test DVD set.
Since you want but just relax and enjoy the grandiose image, or people ?!

Oh, before I forget, my source devices:
Toshiba HD XE 1 (yes, yes he is legendary;))
Panasonic DMP BD 50 (sharp crack, paint ago Cinema-Like image and super detailed tracing in dark areas, Video Equalizer, are all the new HD sound formats, and of course, the slightly older, BD Live).
I am a real home cinema freak and after 131 Blu-rays and 60 HD DVDs (including all polyband documentaries) I can only say in summary:
This TV is the force, trust me!

My tip for last: You always get the TV turned all contrast delivered (for large electric markets and artificial light, etc.).
1. The first runterstellen to approximately 50%.
2. Then the color mode to normal.
3. Set the mode to the cinema.
And done.
Then you have a perfect picture ever (not like the plastic bombers from Samsung;) [self-obsessed times a Hab and broke down the IS after about 2 years :(.]).
Fine-tuning can then later make every man for himself.

Oh, and 2. Info finally;):
Topic Design and processing: perfect (use that word often, but I know I should be lying about;))
-hinten metal and the front one big sheet of glass (One Sheet of Glass Design, which again is used even when successors)
Base: metal with anthracite / black piano lacquer (resistant to fingerprints and quality than Samsung, for example).

For more impressions and experiences of users (worth more than any magazine review) can I [...] recommend (is already the address leading to the Pansonic Plasma Forum where you will also find ratings for advice on other things -. The Nintendo DS , about self-craft forum to systems and plasma, as well as players.
And remember: Test DVDs should be treated with caution. There are some useful, such as that of "Burosch" but even if this makes sense for private use, everyone must decide for themselves.
Documentation (eg Planet Earth Blu-ray) are also very useful for adjusting the color, etc., because there you have naturalness without distorted colors and contrasts (used as in several films as a stylistic device) and can watch if you think it at all necessary make to the fine tuning.
On all previous LCD Owner: Please do not adjust the contrast first to 70% or 80%, because this is in the first 1000 hours even when 32 of 63 Steps (the center of the beam is about) even better.
In addition, documentaries good to relax :) and the perfect food for plasma. Due to the higher black level you also have a much better vision and depth of the image.

CONCLUSION: An absolutely future-proof TV. Clear improvements there
every year, the only question is at what price and 1. 2. whether this
a new purchase warrants. So this is now times with the technology.
But with this TV you have, you have a fairly advance
good head start.

Small criticism:
I wish the next time my Panasonic still a fancier menu,
and internal decoding capabilities of Dolby True HD,
DTS HD Master Audio and DTS HD High Resolution Audio.

So, before I completely digress here, I do sometimes quit for the day). Greetings!
Your Laertes)
