After reading several posts on this forum I decide to buy the Panasonic PV80 plasma.
Viewed it alongside similarly priced Samsung and LG and decided to opt for the PV.
The Panasonic engineer came home to install the TV, so I assume it was all done by the book.
As expected, the colours and PQ are great, but . Im not at all happy with the way the TV deals with any fast movements on the screen.
For instance the news presenter looks great on screen, but if there is an action scene or if the camera is chasing the cricket ball in the field, I find there is tremendous eye strain.
Just cant follow the ball or any object when the camera pans the screen.
I have two smaller LCDs at home (32Philips & 21 LG), even tho they are LCDs , there is no eye strain on these. Since plasmas are known to be better for viewing sports and fast moving scenes, I am at a loss as to why this is happening.
I have this TV connected to a Marantz 3002 DVD player via HDMI and TATASKY+ connected via Component video.
Spoke with the Panasonic engineer, he said he has received such complaints from people but this problem was sorted when they used better quality RCA cables.
Since I have used HDMI and Component cables, he too doesnt know the reason. Claims my eyes need to get used to viewing a plasma.
I am no expert at this, but having gone thru several threads on this forum, I can think of just a few reasons.
1. TV may not have gone thru its burn in period.
2. There is some chip or graphics card (who knows !!!???) thats not doing its job well enough.
3. These are the limitations of this TV.
Anybody faced this situation ? Any advice / comments ?
