Have had my PV600 for a week now. Am not impressed by football coverage. A player with a red or orange shirt appears as a "blur" from a distance and are not sharp enough. Close ups are ok. Am using cable TV in norway. The signal must be ok as my old CRT panasonic has a better picture. There is something strange about the colour setup it just seems to be too bright/rich. (Have put everything on 50%). Bit disappointed as this is supposed to be one of (if not ) the best plasmas on the market.


Anyone have the same problem with PV60/PV600 ?? (PV600 is basically the same TV as PV60, just different speaker and SD interface).

Could this be caused by the quality of the RF signal form the cable TV supplier ? (Doubt it - my other TV is ok).

Are there any settings reccommended for sports ?

(answers in swedish or norwegain or english appreciated)

Ok, för det första så har crt generellt bättre bild då de är anpassade till våra analoga tv-nät vilket inte de nya highdefenition plasma/lcd skärmarna inte är. Hur är bilden om du kör 720p från en bättre dvd via hdmi? Skulle tro att cabeltv från typ viasat eller comhem skulle kunna vara lösningen om du då även köper en bra box med component eller hdmi. Detta är dock vad jag tror. Dålig bild via analog tv är ett vanligt problem bland plasma & lcd.

DVD (panasonic DMR-EH65) via HMDI connector is very good.
Spoke to canal digital, who supply the analog TV signal. They suggested that I
purchased a digital decoder claiming that the picture will be better. (I don't want to get my own
sat dish as I have so many TV's connected already).

Actually good old CRT:s handle low def material better then a high def plasma (or LCD for that matter). The problem with sports on analog broadcast is that they are usally sent in letterbox. Letterbox in analog broadcast means even lower resolution then 4:3 in analog. This is because that the letterbox has about 25% lower resolution.

With digital broadcast however the picture is 16:9 to begin with and you will have the full standard def resolution even in widescreen. When your using an plasma or LCD-tv you will benefit A LOT from digital TV.


One thing you should really try tough is to shut of all picture-improving settings (such as noise reduction, mpeg nr, 3d nr etc). When the signal/ and or resolution is really poor theese "improvements" often hurt the picture more then they improve it. For eample: noise reduction will always remove details as well as noise, which will hurt the quality of the picture.

Shutting of all picture improving settings improves the quality of analog letterbox broadcasts a bit for my plasma (LG px3rva which is however low def). Also try to lower contrast and brightness and most importantly lower the amount of color - they are often set to high with will simply blur. Also try a color temperature that is less red (e.g switch from warm to cold). Many people choose the "warm setting" because they think it looks nicer but it will exaggerate the red parts of the picture which could be the source of your problem.

En kompis till mig köpte en plasma tv och jag såg den direkt efter han packat upp den då blödde den röda färgen lite och det var inte alls skarpt ett par månadersenare när jag såg den så har det helt försvunnit verkade lite som ett par högtalare att man måste spela in den först.
