Craig, you and Roger have a lovely home.

I'm happy and excited for you!

Even if you are a traitor to the M60 Posse

I do not want to hear any more about how much better your new TV is. La la la - I can't hear you.


Thanks! It KILLS me to let my M60's go! If we ever end up some place larger in the future, I can assure you, I'll be buying more towers from Axiom again. \:\) (oh...and the picture on that panny is AMAZING! hehehehehe)

Very nice, Craig. I love the light that room gets. Are you going to invest in electrochromic windows to help with that when you want to watch a movie during the day? ;\)


RARELY watch a movie during the day. ;\)

Very nice. I know that when I moved from a corner mount to a wall-centered mount, the room was SO much bigger.

Sounds like a good purchase on the Panny V10. I'm curious if you know if that model has the shifting black issue that came up a few months ago. Apparently, some Pannys increase the black level up to 50% after 1000 hours. That would suck if you spent $$ for ISF, only to have it change because of Panny firmware. I'm in the market so I'm trying figure out if Panny is still the way to go w/ plasma and which series. I have an older 480p but long for a real 1080p.


The G10/V10s are supposed to be the best Pannys but I couldn't justify the cost differential from my S1 for the very slight video differential I could see.

During my search I finally came to the conclusion it doesn't matter what you buy they all have issues of some sort.

Simple solution to the shifting black levels would be to wait till 1500hrs for calibration ;\) I haven't calibrated my S1, simply did the slide burn in and really haven't noticed much of a difference between first time I watched before the burn in and now a couple months later after, still looks fantastic to me.

Unfortunately, the shifting black levels can't be calibrated away.

But can it be re-calibrated to make it look like it did before?

[Sorry, for the derail...]

Nope. It's a programmatic change which raises the drive voltage levels. You can still calibrate an input level of black to output the darkest value the screen will display. Only after 1500 hours that lowest level is higher than before. Basically, the minimum brightness level rises, and there's no control turn it below that point.
