Thanks guys! Actually, I am in for the 51". Ministry of finances is not allowing for more 

You won't be dissapointed mate with the 51"

Does the D7000 have full chroma bandwidth?

Uh oh, second post in the forum and already OT!

Thanks!

No, it doesn't, but I wouldn't worry about it.

I know 'Gamma' is not always what says on the Tin on certain TV's ie '1.8 / 2.0 /2.2 etc but on the sammys its labelled as -3 -2 -1  '0'  +1 +2 +3  .

Any ideas on which of the above would be near to 2.2 ?. my guess is 0 but something says i prefer +1 as it brings out a little more shadow detail in the Blacks  ?

Cheers

Any ideas on the above fellas ?

Any ideas on the above fellas ? 

On my D8000 I would say 0 is 2.0 -1 is 2.2

Oh Pooh LOL, I was hoping you would have said +1 is 2.2 LOL  , Was thinking a little more shadow detail would have been nice  , When i up Gamma to +1 then reset brightness i end up with the same PQ  ,
Standard mode with Ref 16 Black Brightness shows more detail than Movie mode , Any idea why Johnboy

I also tend to find that -1 is the 2.2 setting - but it varies depending on the video processor.

Be great if you could pop down and measure mine David !, I can remember all to well what 1.8 was like on the G10 panny in cinema mode and i hate that washed out look. Why is it that i can use say -1 with adjusted brightness then set +1 and readjust brightness but then they both look the same .

Why would that be do you think ?.
Cheers.

I'll need to try that next time I have a Samsung PDP to review. I've not seen that behaviour myself...

Thanks David, I know for sure on some other Plasmas and All LCD's with adjustable Gamma that its easy to wash out the PQ by upping Gamma, I can go to +1 or even +2 and the jump is very obvious if brightness is left as is, But if i then readjust brightness to Ref 16 black the overall PQ looks the same ?, This is on 'Movie Mode'. I found Standard mode has a better Gamma at Ref 16 Black which results in being able to see more detail in dark areas of a given scene.

Thanks
Martin

Martin, David anyone compared to the Panny GT what are the Black Levels like in a dark room (lights out)?
Also does it have an optical output.

Gets delivered on Thursday, does it need a wireless dongle?

I think compared to the Pannys Baz black level is a smidge higher  , But its not enough to bother i don't think, combine it together with the rest of the PQ (my motion issue aside lol) its a fab picture 

Oh yes it has an optical , All the connections are down the left hand side side 'as your facing the TV' with some along the bottom left too.

No mate no Dongle needed its built in  .
