Ordered a Sony XBR65X930C

Clear looked soapier on BD than on regular TV programming. I think Sony does much better than other brands on motion whether on or off.

I agree. I just left my Sony projector on the low setting watching everything. I did turn film mode off as it created slight judder on some material.

It's been so long I double checked my settings. My backlight is 5 and Gamma is -1.

That is what I was thinking.

Did Clear just make Blu-ray look too Soapy? Ive seen where frame creation works well on 60hz and not on 24hz, and them some brands are opposite. I can see myself leaving it on for Dish and cutting it off for Blu.

One of the nice things with the harmony remote is that you can add that to the activity list and have the mode switching done automatically when you select the source.

Never thought of that, but great idea.

Also, I am a firm believer in a bias light for tv's without excellent blacks. I have an Ideal Lume which I love but it does not work well with my close wall mount. I ordered this kit from Amazon and it will be the perfect size and brightness for a 65". I was actually surprised how bright it is. Plugs into USB so its on when tv is on if you want it that way.

Amazon:
Antec Bias Lighting for HDTV with 51.1-Inch Cable (HDTV BIAS LIGHTING)

Looks like someone is buying the plasma tomorrow, so one step done LOL

Wish I was local. I would have taken that off your hands. Looking forward to hearing about your new set.

Gonna miss it, the VT50 was the best TV I ever owned...

XBR is in town, should get a call today scheduling delivery time.

 

[teachsac]

Well.... What's the word?

[gadgtfreek]

No call Friday, guess they will call Monday for delivery time. This was the slowest freaking shipment ever, but I got a good deal so...

 

[teachsac]

That bites.

Just checking out my warranty options, Costco has a 3 yr squaretrade for $90. Win...

 

[gadgtfreek]

Well, as expected the freight company is out of touch this weekend and I never did get a call. I will be calling them first thing Monday morning (day 11) and they may not like what I have to say to them.

 

[gadgtfreek]

Delivery between 12 and 2 today. Funny, they put me off until the Tropical Storm is underway...

 

[gadgtfreek]

Yay!!!!

Nooooooo!

 

[lakebum431]

Oh no!!!!!!

 

[gadgtfreek]

Yep. A total of 4 plasmas bought and delivered via freight, even shipped a plasma I sold to a buyer, and the LCD bites me in the ass...

 

[lakebum431]

That is the amazing part! I had a 60" Pioneer plasma that arrived broker, but haven't actually seen anyone get an LCD busted. They must have been throwing that thing around! I hope you don't have to wait another 10+ days!

That sucks. The LCD I ordered and had shipped to my sister last Christmas arrived with a shattered screen.
