Not much left to say about the Panasonic TC-P65V10 LOL
Because of that, this'll probably be my last post on the TC-P65V10.I really love it, and not much left to say. :)
I haven't bought my receiver yet, since I ended up buying an electronic drumset and recording gear instead.
Oh well, soon enough.
I did, however notice the TC-P65V10 's price has been going up like it were gold or something.
I bought mine when it was $3,500 just a little over a month ago.
Now, you're lucky to find it for less that $3,999. Jeez.
It seems to be going up almost daily.
With holidays coming up soon, I imagine it'll only go up further.
But that's just my opinion.
A TV's appreciation doing better than the house market?
Something's definitely wrong with that picture (even though it's a very beautiful and clear HD one -hehe).
For those of you who feel left out because the price is just too high.
There is a place I found that could help at least a little bit.
If you join Big Crumbs for free (see the ad above - in this posting), and buy the Panasonic TC-P65V10 at Best Buy - they'll send you 2.7% cash back. (that's $108 for the $4,000 TV - nice).
Why join and not just click through and get savings right away?
Mainly because, as I understand it, they have to get paid by the company (Best Buy in this case) first, then after they have the money, they'll send you a portion of that. (2.7% to be exact in this case)
That's why it takes about 2 months.
But this is nowhere worse than how long it takes rebates to be sent out.
And obviously they need to know where to send you the money.
So you enter your info, and that's that.
Well that's my only advice for getting it cheaper at this time.
NOTE: You MUST be logged into Big Crumbs first,
then click "Best Buy" in order to get your cash back.
I use Big Crumbs, personally, on all shopping. (Including musical instruments LOL).
(Why would I actually want to pay more than I have to?).
They also have a way for members to make money - but I'm not going into that here.
You could check that out on your own if you're interested.
Let me continue with some config's for some PS3 games on the TC-P65V10:
Using with Rock Band 2:
I noticed there was a delay between what I saw and what I heard while playing RockBand 2.
This was so frustrating!
Just follow these instructions and you'll be up and running.
(Took me an hour of calibrating before I got it right - wish I woulda found a post like this one)
1) Go to Options (first Screen)
2) Go to "Calibration Settings"
3) Continue (Hit "X" on controller), when they go into the "fancy HDTV" stuff
4) It'll ask you to automatically configure Audio - just click the R1 button (the button on the right side on top)
5) Go "Left" on the controller to make it -25ms
6) Click "X" to continue
7) Repeat for Video - make this -10ms
You're good to rock out and actually get good scores now.
Fortunately, SingStar- Queen works fine with 0ms.
I had to put the microphones in the 2nd USB port, however.
That might just be my PS3, though.
Well that's it for me and the TC-P65V10...
When I get the receiver (some day), I'll put a link in this blog to the receiver review I'll create.
Till then - hope you have as much fun with your Panasonic TC-P65V10 as much as I have. :)
Cheers.
