Dakle prvih 200 sati, znaci nekih 10-ak dana, postavi plazmu u Cinema (Filmski) mod rada tako da

osvijetljenje bude na 30 i kontrast na 36, defakto koristi tvornički zadane postavke Cinema moda. Slika ti
se neće činiti bajna ali budi strpljiv zbog vlastite koristi. Naime prvih 200 sati je bitni kod plazmi da bi se
pravilno "formirao" panel...

Poslije tog vremena, primjeni postavke za kalibriranu sliku onako kako ja to vidim:

Just got my order in for the Panasonic TX-P42X10 so I thought I'd start a thread so we can share
thoughts when we get them!

Note: HD Ready/720p/1080i and proud!!! If you are after information on a Full

HD/1080p TV then you're in the wrong place!

Edit, 22/04/2009:
Please post any chat on prices, price matching or deals in this thread

Edit, 13/03/2009:
I've had a scan through pages 1-12 and added the little useful info that's come through into this post. See also our
first owners review/initial thoughts thanks to bash. Please PM me if I've missed anything significant.

Edit, 26/02/2009:
I set my TV up last night (basic throwing together of all connections and turning settings down for initial
200hrs). I guess others will be getting theirs soon if not already so I think people will now want to start
pooling useful information

I've just been looking over at the predecessor thread for the PX80, Panasonic 37/42 PX80 Series Owners
thread - Part 1. Audiphile76 did a great job of collating information there, and has set the standard for
me to live up to. Only problem is I'm a complete novice with all things AV so I'll probably rely on a lot of
you guys to provide useful information. For now, I'm going to copy a lot of the information from the
PX80 thread and grey out anything not 100% guaranteed to be valid for the X10s. As more info from
users and reviewers comes through we should be able to go back to black with this. Anyway, here goes:

Running-in the set
In order to minimise the risk of image retention (temporary images visible on screen), you need to be
careful during the first 200 hours of viewing. When the plasma is initially installed, videophiles say it is
best to do the following:

- Do not keep static pictures more than an hour

- Keep changing channels occasionally when viewing programs with static and bright logos (Kids
program)
- Turn down the picture control (contrast and brightness) to 50% or less.
- Do no use "Dynamic" or "Normal" (Prefer Cinema Mode). Most importantly, remember to change the
mode for each input channel, ie AV1, AV2, PC etc.
- Make sure the display is in a viewing mode (aspect ratio) that completely fills the screen (there are
often three or more settings from which to choose - Auto, 16:9 or Just) << Check number and names for
X10.
- Briefly engage the 4:3 mode to confirm the side bars are set to mid-grey (there is usually an adjustment
in the Set Up menu that takes the sidebars from black to grey) to minimise the chance of burn-in.
- During the first 200 - 300 hours of use it is best not to view the same channel for extended periods.
This should prevent channel logos and other fixed images found on some channels from being retained.
- Avoid any static images (video games, computer images, DVD title screens, etc.) during the 200 hour
break-in.

After the 200-hour break-in period, during the next nine-hundred hours:

- Continue to retain the picture setting at 50% or less.

- Limit the use of 4:3 aspect ratio mode (traditional picture size that does not fill the entire screen) to
15% of viewing time.
- Limit the use of static images (computer, video games, etc.) to less than 10% of viewing time.

After one thousand viewing hours, panels are much less likely to experience image burn-in.

How to check total hours on TV (Do it at your own risk)

Thanks to zane0321 for this info. Tested and confirmed working.
How to check for how long your TX-37PX10 has been on (tested) and how many times it was On/Off:

1. On the TV itself, hold down the “Vol -” button (on the right hand side of TV)
2. While holding the volume button down, press “0” on the TV remote three times. Wait. The service
menu will load.
3. Now press the “2″ button on the remote. This will pull up a window with the word “SRV-TOOL”.
4. Press the “OK” button on the remote. A light blue grid will appear.
5. On the Grid, move the cursor down (using the remote down arrows) to the row labeled “PTCT”
6. Move cursor to the right. It should be an empty box on the grid.
7. Hold MUTE for 3 seconds. The amount of time the display has been on will be next to the word
“TIME” this is in hours and minutes.

To get out of the service menu, either hold Exit on the remote for 3 seconds or switch off the TV using
the on/off on the TV itself.

It very similar to the former post for TC-P50X1 but instead of "info" which resets your set you should
press 0.

Note: Not sure if the following is true. If it is, what is the best cleaning method?
WARNING: Do NOT clean the frame/bezel or even the screen panel using the microfibre cloth that came
with the TV. This causes many scratches on the screen and the bezel.

How to set up the Virgin remote (the interactive service doesn't work and the online seems to be for a
different remote)
Note: Requirement and method yet to be verified for X10. I don’t have Virgin.
1. Press the <*> key and the Settings buttons together.
Make sure these a pressed down for at least two seconds. After two seconds the Stand-By button should
have flashed GREEN twice.
2. Use the number buttons to enter one of three digit codes that match your make of TV (Available
Here). You should find that it's 425
It's a good idea to start with the first code on the list.
3. Press the Select/OK button within 10 seconds to confirm the code.
The Stand-By light will flash twice to confirm that the code has been accepted. If a RED light has flashed,
this means the code has not been recognised, so check the code and re-enter the correct code by
following the steps above.

Try the volume/on off button, should work now

Frequently Asked Questions

Lets keep this section open and fill it up based on our discussion here.

X10 Series questions:

Q1: Does "AUTO" aspect ratio distort the image resulting in loss of PQ?
A1: TBC
Predecessors:
http://www.avforums.com/forums/showp...&postcount=342

Q2: Does the set suffer from Screen burn and/or image retention?
A2: I imagine this will be the same for X10s.
The set definitely does not suffer from any screen burns but some image retention which is temporary in
nature and in most cases goes away with time.

Need to double check what it says for the X10 but definitely has something along these lines:
Panasonic manual (Page 3) states the following:
Do not display a still picture for a long time.
This causes the image to remain on the plasma screen("image retention").
This is not considered a malfunction and is not covered by the warranty.
Typical still images:
- Program number and other logos.
- Image displayed in 4:3 mode.
- Video game.
- Computer image.

To prevent image retention, contrast is lowered automatically after a few minutes if no signals are sent
or no operations are performed.

Q3: Does the set suffer from phosphor lags/green trails?

A3: Time will tell. Please post your own experiences

Q4: What are the best scaling settings for BluRay and SD?
A4: TBC

Q9: Can you use different settings within a single preset (e.g. CINEMA) on different inputs? For example
if you are using CINEMA on both HDMI1 and HDMI2, will a change(in sharpness for example) made in
HDMI1 carry over to HDMI2 or can you set them individually?
A9: TBC

Predecessors:
Any change to CINEMA on one input would affect all other inputs that had CINEMA applied to them.
BUT, if different inputs are on different pre-set modes, then they can be set differently and
independently.

Q10: Is it possible to default the X10 to one of the hdmi slots or other AV inputs?
A10: TBC

Predecessors:
Go into the "Setup" menu and change the "Power on Preference" to "AV" (Default is "TV" tuner|)

P42X10: TBC
P37X10: Nothing through yet but bash has agreed to let me publish the following from his posts in this
thread.

bash’s early thoughts during 200hr run in:

Whilst there is smaller jump in improvements between the Px10 and Px80 compared to the leap
between the PX70 and PX80, there are improvements none the less.

If anything the PX80 was better in pic quality than the PX70 but its speakers were woeful (not a big loss
as I expect most users have a 5.1 or better setup). However the Px10 has superior speakers compared to
the PX80 and I've found HD material as well as picture movement to have improved also. You could
argue this is the TV the PX80 should have been?

Seriously I would be happy to buy a Px10 at RRP over a PX80 at a rock bottom price. It’s a more
complete package IMHO. I got my PX10 at £567 and am very pleased.

Have to say I’m finding Eco mode very useful this time around. Before with the PX70/80 it was a set
memory setting alongside Dynamic, Normal and Cinema.

With the X10 its actually a mode you can turn on or off for use with Dynamic, Normal and Cinema. So
I've been using the recommended cinema settings with Eco on. If I've got the curtains open during the
day it brightens up the picture brilliantly but when I turn the lights off during the night it darkens the
picture nicely. Makes it easy on the eyes without loss of detail.
Settings:
Freeview and DVD: TBC
BluRay: TBC
PS3: TBC
Etc
