Panasonic P42X20D/X10D Owners Thread (Settings, Problems, Impressions, Questions)

[techcheat]

Is Panny 42x20d not HD ready? I mean does it support 1280*720? as the website states its just a 1024*768 display...

Confirmed!! Whats done is done. Now can anyone shed some light as to why calliberators go for 0 brightness on this display? Is it just for burn in period or is it in general?

ackkkkk.... of course it is HD Ready. It even accepts a 1080p signal. It is 16:9 widescreen. It is a plasma. It operates on the principle of gases which light up to produce millions of coluors. It is black in colour. It has 2 speakers. It has a remote control. It can be hung on the wall like a prize painting. If there is lot of ambient light in the room it can be used as a mirror. It is heavy. It can be used to play games. It has image retention. It has good black levels. It has no problem with off angle viewing. It is made by Panasonic. It is imported from Thailand. It has 3 HDMI ports. It has an SD card slot. It does not have USB port. It has service menu. Menu of X20 does not allow for advanced user calibration.

Calibrators go for 0 brightness for reasons of their own. Don't worry about them. Go for what suits you best.
It's a funny thing about these calibrators. People pay a lot of money to have their sets calibrated and then rant on about how good their picture looks, etc.
But why not calibrate by yourself according to what looks good to you. People going in for professional calibration kind of reminds me of the story of the emperor's new clothes.

mp4 is a container having video and audio streams, each encoded using a video and audio codec. Only supported codecs will play on your system.

In your first file, the video codec was not supported but the audio codec was supported, so you could hear only audio.
In your 2nd file, both video and audio codecs were supported.

hey thanks echo for ur reply..but can you tell is ther any solution of it..

Either convert the unsupported audio or video to a different codec, or find a player that plays most formats.

Converting audio is easier than converting video. Here's an audio re-encoder:
