It's clear now, the perfect tv doesn't exist

I sure hope when the panel is replaced that the problem is gone...or else all this hassle has been for nothing. But at least they really help out and provide excellent service.
Yeah nice one. Should be fixed with the panel being replaced. If it's a scan issue then i think it's the only fix

The tv was return this morning and i've tried out all those games. The green tinge is mostly gone, it's only alittle visible when i put on a grey background, but let's be honest...that's no big deal. However, in return for the green tinge, i now see vertical lines, they are not terribly visible but i do see them in my games, especially when i look around in the sky in games like Skyrim, GTA IV, Max Payne 3, RDR and so on. I can live with this though, as long as it doesn't get any worse.

That's unfortunate. I know how it feels though, but for a different issue.

My one was red tinted black which was due to out of spec voltage and complete and utter denial from the manufacturer. With me having to reset my panel to trick it into thinking it is new then re-adjusting and battling mal-discharge.

Will probably be nursing it with voltage tweaks for the rest of it's days. But i might be lucky, only time will tell after my most recent ones, but they looking good

You got a LG too then? And if so...exact same model? :D

I also believe that..the bigger the screen, and i consider 60 biiiiiiiiiiig, the more easier you will notice faults. If this screen had been say...42 or even 50 inch. I think it would be harder to notice. A big screen is awesome, but it will also clearly display faults in games more noticeable. Like bad framerates are much worse on a huge tv than a small tv, on small tv alot less noticeable.

I've always believed that my very first plasma, Samsung PS50C91 was without faults, but at that time i probably didn't notice them. After the Panasonic VT30 fiasco however, i look at tv's in a different way and spot faults quite easily unfortunetely. But i think i can live with this, it still sucks that a skyline in a game like Max Payne 3 and Skyrim can't simply look completely like it should, without any lines or whatsoever, but it's not like i have much other options. I could bring the tv back and go for the Samsung E6500, but that's a 51 inch, quite a difference and also much more money. Nah i'm gonna accept this as long as it won't get worse.

And i hope it won't. I remember when i had just bought this tv, i don't think i saw any of that green stuff yet, and then it started to appear. So i hope all will be fine now. Have had more than enough tv problems i'd say.

I have a 50" krp that had this issue from very early in it's lifespan. I like probably thousands of others thought it was a calibration issue to begin with, that could be fixed but it turned out not to be. This issue affected 50 and 60 inchers the world over.

All models 8G and 9th generation plasmas suffered (or should i say the owners suffered lol), although the 9G seemed to be the worst affected. Apart from these contradictions the 50" krp's and the US 50"101's are the reference.

I am worried though that with all my "tweaking " that i have been pushing the components a bit far. Especially the Y sus boards. I am giving the components a break at the momment as i am quite happy just now with my settings. I don't have a warranty though that's my worry. My dealer ripped me off saying he would sort it out years ago when i bought it and never actually did (according to Pioneer). "They tell me their hands are tied".

But after speaking with someone recently it was actually quite a common trick with these Pioneers.

If a component was to "go" in my panel - i am looking at a £600.00 bill at least. n:
