I wonder if the 3D will eventually go away as time passes too.

I won't buy another Panasonic TV anytime soon. Once you buy one of their sets, they don't care about you anymore. Not good business practice. No wonder they are being sued.]]>Mar 12th 2010 1:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/first-panasonic-3dtv-review-in-great-blacks-and-the-best-3d-any/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/first-panasonic-3dtv-review-in-great-blacks-and-the-best-3d-any/Mar 12th 2010 1:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/first-panasonic-3dtv-review-in-great-blacks-and-the-best-3d-any/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/first-panasonic-3dtv-review-in-great-blacks-and-the-best-3d-any/
Panasonic obviously doesn't understand how televisions get darker over time. If they did, they wouldn't have put out their TVs like they did, which angered a lot of people on the net. Especially since they boast about their black levels. There's a difference with the screen losing its brightness over a hundred thousand hours of use compared with the black levels getting brighter over just 1,000 hours.

And Panasonic already said that they weren't going to fix any of the 2009 sets ... unless something happens with the class-action suit. According to Panasonic, it was as designed. If it were as designed, why didn't it happen on older sets and why did they make it better for their 2010 models? Why haven't people complained about their Samsung black levels? Why did CNET lower the ratings of these sets by a star since this news came out?]]>Mar 12th 2010 2:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/first-panasonic-3dtv-review-in-great-blacks-and-the-best-3d-any/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/first-panasonic-3dtv-review-in-great-blacks-and-the-best-3d-any/
I've had my 42" G10 for over 6 months and i have not noticed any changes.

The drastic change apparently does not affect every set. However, this makes me feel better about getting the extended warranty. Anyone buying a panny in the future should fork over for the same.]]>Mar 12th 2010 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/first-panasonic-3dtv-review-in-great-blacks-and-the-best-3d-any/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/first-panasonic-3dtv-review-in-great-blacks-and-the-best-3d-any/
That's part of the issue here.

Will Panasonic consider it a fault that can be fixed and indeed covered by a warranty?

That's not what Panasonic appears to be indicating from what I've read.]]>Mar 12th 2010 11:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/first-panasonic-3dtv-review-in-great-blacks-and-the-best-3d-any/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/first-panasonic-3dtv-review-in-great-blacks-and-the-best-3d-any/
Actually you are the one does not understand that they increased their initialization voltage too high. And they have not fixed it. Now they have a lawsuit against them and many angry customers.

Had they fixed this, it would be considered a non-issue with 2010 sets.]]>Mar 12th 2010 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/first-panasonic-3dtv-review-in-great-blacks-and-the-best-3d-any/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/first-panasonic-3dtv-review-in-great-blacks-and-the-best-3d-any/
all large corporations have pending lawsuits against them...

I was gonna get this Panasonic model, but the whole black level increase issue is a real downer.

So what should I do folks, get the Panasonic or Sony's upcoming Local-Dimming LED model?]]>Mar 12th 2010 10:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/first-panasonic-3dtv-review-in-great-blacks-and-the-best-3d-any/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/first-panasonic-3dtv-review-in-great-blacks-and-the-best-3d-any/Mar 12th 2010 10:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/first-panasonic-3dtv-review-in-great-blacks-and-the-best-3d-any/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/first-panasonic-3dtv-review-in-great-blacks-and-the-best-3d-any/
What's so disappointing is that through clumsy (and likely unnecessary) software implementation, Panasonic has created a problem that is quite easily avoidable, yet so far they appear to be quite stubborn about rectifying the issue.]]>Mar 12th 2010 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/first-panasonic-3dtv-review-in-great-blacks-and-the-best-3d-any/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/first-panasonic-3dtv-review-in-great-blacks-and-the-best-3d-any/Mar 12th 2010 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/first-panasonic-3dtv-review-in-great-blacks-and-the-best-3d-any/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/first-panasonic-3dtv-review-in-great-blacks-and-the-best-3d-any/
Maybe you would care if you had spent $1500 on a new TV and found out that the company that sold it to you doesn't back up their advertising and doesn't rectify design flaws.]]>Mar 12th 2010 6:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/first-panasonic-3dtv-review-in-great-blacks-and-the-best-3d-any/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/11/first-panasonic-3dtv-review-in-great-blacks-and-the-best-3d-any/
The 2010 models have reportedly gone up in as little as 300 hours from 0.0065 to 0.0098fL Doesn't look like they fixed anything. Good luck to all you early beta testers, i'm not wasting my money on a Panasonic product ever again.

He's probably rehearsing the song in the shower. Lots of lather.

I think I did it again.I made you believe
We're more than just friends.
Oh, baby;
It might seem like BLACK crush,
But it doesn't mean
That I'm serious.
'Cause to lose all my senses...
That is just so typically me.
Oh, baby; baby.

Oops!
... I did it again.
I played with your heart.
Got lost in the game.
Oh, baby; baby.
Oops!
... You think I'm in love.
That I'm sent from above...
I'm not that innocent.

And I have yet to experience any image retention, even when leaving an image paused for several minutes.
