No. But being carefull and prudent is being wise. So don't watch movies only. Watch full screen content also and make a mix and match.

So it means watching a movie for 2hrs with black bars is no problem?
And when u say movies only I think u meant my viewing habit(?),not viewing at one stretch.Am I right?

Yes. Things to be careful in the first 200 hours:
- turn down contrast and brightness to 35% or less
- watch in zoom mode to avoid display of channel and dth logo
- not to watch the same channel over and over (even in zoom mode a part of the logo may be displayed on screen)
- if there is pixel orbiter or equivalent function, turn it on
- if you want 200 hrs to go quickly, and in the turn also prevent IR use break-in slides for one hour everyday (download them on pen drive, keep nothing else on pen drive, and run in slideshow mode)
- restrict 2.35:1 letter box mode to no more than 2 hours or watch it in zoom mode
- watch content like "BBC Planet Earth" which displays full screen content and has brilliant colours and content; will age the phosphors evenly
Hi,
I am zeroing on the PS51E550. Shown it to better half she is for " Overall Clarity" than Panasonic. Hence now I have no option.
Special Thanks to 1) Just4Kix, 2) Techila & 3) Curious for their valuable help to me to take this decision.
So guys suggest : Should I book it now? or wait till Dussera(24th Oct)?
Also Planning to buy Samsung Home Theatre HT-E4550K. Lets see if Dealer is ready to replace the BD offer with this offcourse with max 20K extra.
Any suggestion for HT? the above HT do have 3D-Blueray+DVD+CD with Virtual 7.1 & 1000W RMS.
Josh!
@Techila : I have visited Poona y'day, he offered 73.5K with 3D bundle.

SD channels will not look as good as HD channels but it won'e be that bad. Demo in the showroom and check for yourself.

my experience - 51E490 does **not** pixelate with some channels like Discovery, NatGeo, some news channels and many other channels.
Distance 7.5+ Feet. Buy yes, HD connection is always preferable.

Not sure why you watch in black bars mode. I watch every movie in full screen and it looks fantastic. And no IR worries.

E550 owners - please tell me how big is the reflection issue? Seemed like a huge issue at the shop but then at home we dont use such bright lights, rooms are moderately lit with a tubelight or CFL. Is it really that bad? I'll be shifting to a new place soon and there is a window that would sit straight in front of the TV which I'll cover with curtains. There will be a door to balcony on the side which is likely to remain open during weekend day viewing. Should I go for E550? I like my room moderately lit mostly, dont like to play games or watch movies in darkness unless it is a horror movie which I would watch in dark occassionally.
E8000 is not available else would have negotiated hard and taken that.

You will need to cove the windows with heavy or dark drapes to prevent reflections.

I have not faced any major reflection issues as long as the source of light is not directly opposite the tv.
We have a hall about 20 * 22 with almost no walls where the tv is placed and the only problem is one tube light on the opposite wall.
