I've had this TV for 5 days now. I've spent almost all of those days cruising around the HD Tier of my local cable company. As a lot as the image goes, it is simply beautiful. I've done a giant quantity of tinkering with the settings. Not for the reason that I will't find the combination which I am keen on, but because I simply felt prefer taking element in around with it plus comparing the different configurations. Do yourself a like and make certain the first thing which you are doing is amendment the mode from "Vivid" to one thing else. "Vivid" is the factory default and a sensible quantity of doubtless set which method to spice up the attraction level for the showroom.

I started out by just using the calibration settings from http://www.plasmatvbuyingguide.com for the TH-50PX60U:

Picture Mode Standard
Picture +22
Brightness +8
Color -1
Tint -4
Sharpness -fourteen
Color Temperature Heat

Here gave the image a hotter, added realistic feel right off the bat. Skin tones were far added realistic once calibrating to these settings. The TH-50PX75U is, for each one intents plus purposes, the identical TV as the TH-50PX60U from last year with the previous having a few added features.

I even set to play around with the "Custom" mode and use the above settings as beginning points. I determined to adhere with the on high of settings for the time of year being as I obtain them a good quantity of pleasing to the eye. Overall, the black levels appear terribly sensible showing detail in the dark areas as well and the final color is vivid. The picture appearance terribly crisp and you get that "realism" factor that I even have essentially only felt while researching plasmas and LCDs. Other technologies of HDTVs have not given me that "realism" feel.

In November 2006 I went low cost plus entered the globe of HDTV with an Insignia thirty-two-in., 720P, LCD screen from Best Obtain along with upgrading to DirecTV's 1080i package. My 1st reaction was, "This is sweet", but not as in "niiiiiiccccce!" Four months later the Insignia's screen starts to act-up, and that's after I say to myself, "Let's do it right this time."

My wife and I were watching some Hi-Def shows last night and could not keep from saying "Wow!" regarding each twenty minutes. Even with simply relying on the TV's speakers it felt prefer we were there. Played round with the colors, brightness, etc, at that was easy enough with the on-screen interface. The couch is concerning one hundred ten" from the TV, thus the fifty" screen was a smart size. Wouldn't want to go bigger, but glad we did not get the 42".

Also glad I spent the extra $400 and got the 2007 model that's every one black rather than the 2006 model which had silver trim. The Insignia had silver trim, thus naturally I currently equate silver trim to "low cost".

As I don't consider myself an audio/video aficionado, I didn't hesitate to spend money currently on a 720p system rather than waiting or spending additional on a 1080p system. I am a splash worried regarding screen burn-in, but if this may last beyond five years then I will be very happy.
