So, do plasma hdtvs, as per speakers, amps etc., need a couple of weeks to settle down? I just got a Sony BU2 unit. Out of the box, with my old cables, it looked like crap. Then I added Silver Serpent S-video and component cables. Much better, though I'd hoped for more. Most of the pay per view satellite channels were quite nice, but HBO and such were barely watchable most the of time.So its been about two weeks now, and I'm noticing that more and more channels appear to be OK or better. Richer colors, greater detail and crispness to the picture. Subjectively, the improvement seems much akin to what I experienced when I added the new improved cabling. Actually, its plumb gorgeous most of the time.
Any thoughts?
Follow Ups:
100 hrs seems to be the most kicked around number. Just be sure that all parameters (color, brightness, contrast, etc) are set at reasonable levels during this time. Plasmas are at risk for image "burn in", as in "it won't go away", just like most display devices. After this "break in" period, do or get a proper calibration. It will benefit you in the long run.
Thanks. Glad I'm not crazy.Do you know of any good list of preferred tweaks for plasma units? I have a less than ideal vga display from the computer, and wonder whether a cable will make a difference there too. Also noticed that a ferrite core--came with the Sony--seemed to clean up the satellite signal when I placed it on the tuner's power cord. So should I extend the lunacy--maybe run RG6 from the dish, upgrade all the cords to 10 gauge, buy/build a Risch-style power conditioner, etc. etc.
