Youre a marketing dream.
i think he was referring to the fact you believe its actually 800HZ.
That and LED...
lol.... it's got a 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000:1 contrast ratio too, iirc lol
What a f**king beautiful TV.
I'm still very happy with my Panny TX-46G20B... The picture after calibration is absolutely amazing.... but that Samsung makes it look like it's 30 years old lol. Stunning

Hi there mate, I just brought one of these sets two days ago and I have a lot of testing to do.
By the way can I just say your reviews are really deep and you know your stuff.
Couple of things I have noticed is input lag when playing games (not sure if your a gamer)
Tried with game mode on but this reduces quality of the images as it bypasses the main chip im told.
Also white cloudyness in the corners, id really appreciate if you could send your pro settings from avforums and hdtv test to me? my email is birminghamseller@gmail.com
also any advice on the initial two issues im having would be great.
thanks for taking the time out to read this

Yeah you do tend to get some bloom in the corners on a black screen in a pitch black room. I think I have previously mentioned the slightly uneven backlighting in some conditions. Unfortunately it's the nature of the technology. If you want a completely uniform 'backlight' at all times, then you need plasma, but then you have to accept the compromises that come with that too. I would say this is pretty much the only criticism I could realistically level at this TV.
There appears to be a range of colour that shows this effect more. Mostly when it's displaying greys I think. Blacks are very very very black, but can still show some blooming in the right conditions. For me, overall, it's a compromise worth accepting given how strong the TV is in every other area. I'm not disappointed by the blooming, but I am aware that it is sometimes noticeable. KNocking the backlight intensity down helps, and will almost eliminate it. I have my backlight down to 6, which seems very low at first but is actually far more natural looking. More plasma like in terms of brightness, and I personally cannot stand overblown colour and brightness that most TVs ship with as standard. Calibrate it as per these settings;

Try a backlight setting of 6-8. It will massively reduce the corner blooming, and is more than bright enough. Big backlighting just looks unnatural. Also, be aware that the picture settings are per source. You will need to enter the settings per input. In other words when you calibrate the TV picture, you'll then have to select HDM1 (for example) and do it all again. It's a lengthy process but it has to be done. You will be in awe of the images it will deliver once setup properly.
Yes I do use it for games and TBH I have not noticed any input lag. Game mode bypasses the noise reduction and disables the '800hz' motion smoothing frame creation stuff. I don't use it. I use the calibrated settings for all material.
Do you have Black Opps on PS3? You will be blown away by how good it is in 3D on this set.

How are you getting on with this?
After 5 Plasmas, I'm looking at LED (seems to be the most stocked tech instore these days). I'm looking at the 7000 though, although I've read there's not much difference?!
My main reason for change is reflections on my plasma, during the day it's a killer.
Got any daytime photos of the set?
