Have you checked the AVSHD709 black clipping pattern after you reset your KRP500M? My KRP500M had crushed blacks after a reset, and there are a few members over on AVSFORUM who had the same issue.
It's what made me go back to an LX5090 because they don't have crushed blacks after a reset, and it looks like the KRP500A is similar to the LX5090 here, except they don't have green sparkles after a reset.
And by the sound of Mr Inferno that has had 2 bad krps, than maybe they are not as concistent as I though.
Don't like the truth, Bye
I've recently been thinking of replacing my 600M with a top end oled. Basicaly I want a larger screen. But still not sure it will be worth it.. been reading a lot about motion judder on oleds.My main viewing is bluray. Perhaps it may be better sticking with my kuro and just getting it calibrated... I have absolutely no issue with the picture quality
THe KRP's are def one of the best even today, but they have been surpassed by the best oleds in a few parameters. KRP too does some things better imo. I will not go for an oled anytime soon, more than happy with my 500A. At the end of the day whatever rocks your boat is the answer.
Colours looked like something off a kids’ Disney ride and the earlier ones had black crush.
You can't watch a 4K Dolby Vision film without going WOW, the Kuro does not compare, despite what some will say, it's a no contest!
Ohh its great alright, also a tech that is a decade newer, that we even have these talks prove the tweaked KRP's are quality. BUt if you put a 1080p movie the gap becomes much smaller. A mate has a C9, very capable display but the colours are awful imo, the PQ not as natural looking, skin-tones not that good etc. In games its simply cant deal with a kuro. But its a quality screen nonetheless. If I ever went oled it would be one with a true RGB structure. I agree hdr 4k is a huge boost.
What is really sad is that the color accuracy out of the box and the random panel lotteri on the lcd and oled is so bad compared to the overall build quality of the days back with the plasmas. But than again not one of the krp that I bought was used in the correct picture mode so Idk maybe people don't care it seems (unless you buy a Panasonic oled ofc as they seem to be extremely good out of the box)
uhd bluray's is a huge boost in some movies, but in some cases it can actually be worse and colors and gamma can be off. But overall yes hdr is a great feature. The thing I care most about though are the movies that had a bad bluray transfer that they improved, and of course the added dolby atmos track
Yes, and many film are upscaled to 4k, not true 4k....is that true? YEah the Pana oled's seem to be very awesome displays.
I am sure Dolby Vision true HDR 4K looks great on the latest screens but the vast majority of my viewing is not this type of material.
My Kuro KRP’s are still in my eyes the best screens for what I would call normal content viewing.
I don't think anyone watches a lot of Dolby vision hdr.
the vast majority watch sdr and pioneer krp is the best at sdr.
The contrast on a tweaked KRP is brutal, gives an illusion of hdr......whats it called micro contrast? Superb stuff, well and truly ahead of its time.
Is the tweaked Krp contrast much different to original contrast
For me its better than original values, its def far far superior to an elevated mill with red tint thats for sure. Before I got the faint tint it was superb, far better than any display at that time bare none, but now that its tweaked I feel its a bit better, the mll is deeper too which effects colours etc. For me still the best 1080p display along with 500M......sadly no 4k and hdr, hey it is what it is.
patrik has done a reset, not tweaked,what voltage adjustments did you use. Was it Patrik’s
I thought he did a reset and voltage adjustments.patrik has done a reset, not tweaked,
