Hi BB

 

I have created an account, and tried uploading, but now I can't find my video.  Any ideas?  It is called Panasonic 50GT50 Black Drive Demo.

 

Cheers.

This is a quick one I did on Iron Maiden Flight 666 - I try and find the Drive one, I might have to do it again.

You will be able to give us an unbiased comparison of the 2 tvs hopefully. Smile

Yeah will do. Might try them side by side before the Kuro leaves me. Mine is not as good as the 5090 or KRP, so we'll see how it measures up

Hello BBB, we're still hoping for that comparison of the new Panasonic 50GT50B with your soon-to-depart Pioneer PDP-LX508D. My particular points of interest are black level and sharpness. These two points because in my particular case although my Samsung in the parlour does not have the black level of the Kuros, especially the 9th generation 5090 in the kitchen, it is sharper than the Kuros, even with the sharpness control at only 20 out of 100.

 

What contrast are you running on your 5090 in your kitchen?

Is your Kuro calibrated? - proper image sharpness is not from sharpness in the menu it's from grey scale calibration and contrast levels/ your gamma curve

You want sharpness off on a 5090 it's not needed ;)

It might just be the pics or just me but it looks like you are crushing your blacks currently - maybe plu ray player setting are you using video mode pioneer or professional on blu ray?

Or maybe brightness needs to go up a bit 

If you crush blacks you lose black / shadow detail 

Just trying to help you get the best from your tv

Go to "my account" or "my uploaded videos" or something to that effect. You should find it there.

Hi

 

Cheers for the tips, I will have a look into it, it also might be just my picture taking skills.  Smile

 

Cheers

good job

How did you manage to shoot such a dark scene without any camera shake? Did you use a tripod?

No I just held the camera but did not move.  Laughing  I wanted it to be good.  When I do a general search on YouTube I still can't find them.  Does it take a while for them to appear?

 

Cheers again for the help.
