With the G10 series release, Panasonic proved its serious intentions of taking over the plasma TV market in 2009. Although this Panasonic plasma TV is slightly below the newer V10 series, in terms of performance, it is still a great purchase, with Panasonic TC-P50G10 being rightfully considered being very close to top of the line products. For a 50 inch plasma TV, Panasonic TC-P50G10 has the excellent black levels one can find in the superior V10, and, despite some minor color accuracy issues, it is nothing but a fully feature pack that any buyer would enjoy. Also, it represents a step up from the previous Panasonic series, like S1, being appointed with the new THX certification that guarantees good colors right off the box.

The calibration is to find and use the optimal settings for all controls on the screen of your HDTV. These values include (but are not limited to): contrast, brightness, black (or white) level, color correction (hue and color levels), the geometry correction, sharpening, audio settings, etc.

like any other fine technology, why, if you’re not the best? I do not own and regularly drive a high-end sports car without having in good condition, why not the same for your HDTV set top range?

Some HDTVs can see very well out of the box, but many times we can see better. Sometimes much better. With a chance to get more vibrant colors, greater detail in the shadows, and immersion in the home theater, you must calibrate your device.

How to calibrate my HDTV?

You have two options. Either 1) the purchase of a CD-calibration and do it yourself, or 2) hire a professional to do it for you.

1) DIY, as usual, is the most profitable. You buy a DVD calibration once, and you can as often as you like. (Look AVIA or Digital Video Essentials – usually lasting 20 to $ 40 or less.)

However, it takes time to configure the display yourself, and you need to do some learning on the road. (an advantage for some, no comments for others)

2) Engage a professional has all the pain of time and (other brands) are fun. This can cost a few hundred dollars. You must decide what learning is good for you according to your availability of time, money, knowledge and willingness or pleasure. However, a professional should make the tools and experience that is unable to comply, and which may be able to do a better job.

True HUM participate in the experience with enthusiasm and with great pleasure in the result. I know I do.

Calibrate yourself – What should I do?

First, heat the screen HDTV. (Please consult the user guide, but usually 5 minutes, I will.)
Insert the DVD calibration. (Make sure you connect with the best video available on DVD for HDTV)
Follow the instructions on the DVD. His practice manual HDTV screen.
The DVD runs through a series of test patterns and instructions. They adapt and refine his game until the model looks like it should, as in the calibration disc on-screen instructions.
Enjoy the results.

Who crosses the sample and determine exactly what is most annoying and frustrating may be, in his first race. Do not worry. You can return later to go through the installation at any time.

I suggest that throughout the whole system at once, and what I can. Everything must start the second or third time through. If not, give yourself a break and try again later.

Parameters of digital television are slightly different from conventional analog television, which can be confusing. Take time to understand, and probably very good with digital calibration is still possible.
