All,
I currently have a Sony V3000 but am very dissapointed with it's black levels. I have recalibrated the screen, even gone into the service menu, to change settings advised on avforums.com, but they are still shockingly bad.
I am now considering the PX80 as a direct replacement. I can return the item within 28 days (the set is only 5 days old). Please note that the Pro's & con's below are comparing against the V3000.
Pros of PX80:
Better black levels
Better HD & SD performance
Bigger set...an extra 2"
Better sound
better motion handling
100Htz tech
Cons of PX80:
no 1080p
no 1.3 hdmi's
Image retention?
Damage to screen when using Xbox 360?
Poor gaming in general?
Questions:
I would be hooking the PX80 up to my media centre pc using hdmi. Firstly, will the set do 1:1 pixel mapping, and secondly, can you see any other issues which may be brough about while displaying 720p HD .mkv files through this set?
I will also be gaming quite a bit on my 360. Is this recommended? What are the perils? Image retention? Screen 'smearing'? Imput lag?
