Hmmmm......I was trying to decide between the 42 Tosh and the 47 Panny - I finally decided to roll the dice and go with "bigger is better". Very glad I did - the set, post tweaking, looks every bit as good as any of the Tosh's or Mitsu's I've seen. For pure size and PQ, the Panny is the best...

CARLO.....sorry...have to disagree with you a bit here. My Panny post-tweak does not "require" an ISF calibration. Sure, and ISF may be able to shove it to near perfection, but it is hummin' along just fine after only fixing the red push and SVM tweaks. I have buddies - one with an ISF...

Sounds like a great deal to me. Your $2500 budget is easily maintainable. I picked up the 47" Panny for $1950 a couple months ago. Just got a Panny RP56 progressive scan DVD for $236 (totally thrilled with it so far). Throw in another $65 for a set of really good component video cables. You...

Hmmmm....not sure what you are looking at. On the middle CRT - front and center - the SVM wire(s) are white leading into a white plug. They are to white wires joined together - much like a speaker wire. One of the wires has the faint, pink markings on it. The circuit board in question is...

Easy, Matt. Just GENTLY wriggle the plugs right to left while pulling upward - should come off pretty easy. Use a needle-nose pliers for the lft - gripping the WIRES right above the plug, and wriggle it back and forth just like with the other two. It worked very well for me. I can't imagine...

Photos really aren't necessary. Pull off the speaker grill and unscrew the front panel. The CRT's are right there. Start with the MIDDLE CRT. That is the one with the most easily accesible and recognizable SVM wire. The SVM wire is actually two wires connected together. They are thin...

Disconnected the SVM last night. The results for such a simple fix are outstanding! NO ADVERSE SIDE EFFECTS. In general, just a cleaner, crisper picture. On some channels is is more noticeable than others, but it is truly noticeable across the board. My Dish HBO (non-HD)looks almost as...

I want to take the plunge and disable SVM this evening. Because I have heard only rave reviews from you who have done this already, I was just going to snip the wires. Please tell me I am doing the right thing! If some disaster ensues, can they be easily reconnect with a service call? Also, can...

I have the 47" Panny 16:9. I, too, am very into sports (Go OSU Beavers!!!!!). On the Panny, there is an aspect setting called JUST that stretches the picture more at the edgest than in the middle - I think your Tosh has a similar mode. The effect is slight. I now watch ALL 4:3 material in...

This may be a stupid question, but..... I have the Panny 47wx49 with a VERY low end progressive scan DVD player running into it (Pioneer DV-434; $189 Costco). My question is this: Why is there such a dramatic difference between the appearance of one DVD to the next. Are some DVDs just lower...

I'm beginning to think so, because I've had my 47wx49 for over a month now, and I am absolutely ecstatic about it! I've read many posts on this and other boards from people who have returned this set, been frustrated trying to tweak it, etc. I have had no problems whatsoever.....and I am far...
