Looks pretty good!

I am using a PF4211UK with SDI in and a 3D Display Lut in Resolve generated by Light-Space and a Hubble for calibration. Seems like the 300 will be well under $5k which is great…

Not a huge fan of LCD…

I’d be really interested to know how the black levels turn out. I’m currently working off a calibrated Kuro monitor whose blacks are straight black. I heard somewhere that Pioneer’s magic was being integrated into Panasonic’s line so if that’s true then I’ll probably switch for the more advanced color space options and HD-SDI support. That and my living room TV at home is looking a little old…

And it might around for another few more years.
We are testing the new SONY OLED here right now and its shocking.
Off topic , I know, but its just overwhelming how great the black is, how vidid the colors and how incredibly bad the viewing angle is.
Two people, two meters distance…thats it..like +-25 degree off center.

Will these reference grade plasmas still require the extensive continual calibration/re-calibration that the previous consumer models did or are they ready to go out of the box ala a Flanders Scientific?

I guess my other concern is whether floating white points are still part of the equation.

“I heard somewhere that Pioneer’s magic was being integrated into Panasonic’s line”

I think the Pioneer guys Panasonic hired have been working on the higher end consumer plasmas since mid to late 2010.
