I've had this TV for 5 days now. I've spent the majority of those days cruising round the HD Tier of my local cable company. As a lot as the image goes, it is merely beautiful. I've done a giant amount of tinkering with the settings. Not for the explanation that I will be in a position to't find the combination that I admire, but as I just felt like enjoying around with it and comparing the various configurations. Do yourself a prefer plus make certain the 1st thing which you do is change the mode from "Vivid" to one thing else. "Vivid" is a factory default and nearly all probably set which method to spice up the attraction level for the showroom.

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

Image Mode Standard
Picture +22
Brightness +8
Color -one
Tint -four
Sharpness -14
Color Temperature Warm

These gave the picture a hotter, additional realistic feel right off the bat. Skin tones were miles more realistic once calibrating to here settings. The TH-50PX75U is, for each one intents plus purposes, the identical TV as the TH-50PX60U from last year with the former having a few extra features.

I also set to play around with the "Custom" mode and use the higher than settings as beginning points. I decided to stick with the higher than settings for the season being as I attain them most pleasing to the eye. Overall, the black levels look terribly good showing detail during the dark areas as well and the color is vivid. The picture appearance awfully crisp and you get which "realism" factor that I even have really purely felt while researching plasmas plus LCDs. Different technologies of HDTVs haven't given me that "realism" feel.

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

My wife plus I were watching a few Hi-Def shows last night and couldn't stay from saying "Wow!" regarding each twenty minutes. Even with just relying on the TV's speakers it felt prefer we were there. Played around with the colours, 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. Would not desire to go larger, but glad we tend to did not get the 42".

Even glad I spent the additional $four hundred and got the 2007 model that is all black rather than the 2006 model that had silver trim. The Insignia had silver trim, so naturally I currently equate silver trim to "cheap".

Since I do not consider myself an audio/video aficionado, I did not hesitate to spend cash currently on a 720p system instead of waiting or spending extra on a 1080p system. I'm a splash worried concerning screen burn-in, but if this can last beyond 5 years then I'll be terribly happy.
