brdd Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Make sure it's not on dynamic. Thanks Lyle Yes I think I found Med-low or even Low setting looked pretty good and I recall having read Dynamic was to be avoided Few tense moments when first hooked-up with terrible green picture - until I found the DVI setting in menu and changed from default PC to correct Video, then all sweet Have you turned up or down sharpness/contrast/brightness settings from default zero?

Joecool Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 Maybe a call to Aaron at Avical might be a good idea. He has one, so he'll know the best way to look after it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear he who calibrates them uses them too I'm just fiddling for now Nick and happy to await formal calibration at the 100hr mark -- should we expect contact from Avical or state- specific calibrator at some stage?

mccamli Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 It works for me! What panel do you have at the moment? It's a Hitachi PD42A3000...a 42" 1024 x 1024 screen. It was awesome (and huge) when I got it four years ago...still pretty good now. Nearly got as much discount as the 50MXE20 costs! It's amazing how things have moved on in such a short time. It's being relegated upstairs (Very soon I hope ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilencerSeven Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Mine arrived yesterday while I was in melbourne - I got it delivered to my office. The box is MASSIVE - not sure how I will get it home. Is it ok to lay it down to transport? Wont be able to set it up for about a week as am getting an installer to do it and chase cables through my brick wall etc. Also wondering about Avical and how that process works?

50mxe20 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Is it ok to lay it down to transport?NO Also wondering about Avical and how that process works? It needs to be run-in before calibration. 100+ hours. Email Avical direct to find out details. His details are on the forum if you do a search Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you guys in Melbourne would have got yours yesterday, the same day as those in Adelaide got theirs. Strange! Wasn't your advice Ern, it was the advice given to you from Pioneer.

Is it ok to lie it down just to make it easier to get out of the box? I wouldn't. Two people can deal with lifting the plasma out of the box easily.

50mxe20 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Thanks Lyle ... I'll stop fiddlingExcept in my case the local shop installed it for me and, from memory, they made sure it was not on dynamic. By the way guys, calibrated it is a stunning display. I'm still gobsmacked, almost two months later, that a display can be this good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey ern So any of you other blokes in Melb get a call from Pio? I got the call yesterday from Pio who said it might be tomorrow (today) for delivery but wasn't 100%, if not it would be maybe another week or so. But today got a call in the morning from the courier and said they could drop it off around 2:30. And the bloke just dropped it off then. Too bad still waiting for our tv unit to arrive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ern Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 No call, I rang Jason at Bundoora and he said Pio said that they will be delivered to his store today for sure..No call from PIo to me. Jason said he would ring me as soon as they were in the shop so i can then get my mates van and go pick it up...Delivery 3 km from the shop is harder than out from Perth...Waiting for the call so i can go fetch....

ern Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Its in....got the call about to go fetch........still find it amazing that its quicker to out from Perth than 3km from the point of purchase via pick up.... O well i will hopefully enjoy some fine viewing tonight... Melb people check your store... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
