Is anyone else getting noise or grain with certain movies? I'm new to plasma, so it may be normal. Iron Man 2 had a lot of grain IMO.

Grain/noise is native to plasmas, Panasonics especially it seems. I changed my tv and blu ray player setting to 24p for watching blu rays and like the improved picture. Give it a try and see how you like it.

Can other owners verify that there is a grainy feature to certain lighter areas of the picture? Is this standard for plasma in general or just Panasonic plasma?

John - you have been incredibly helpful and i appreciate your knowledge. My receiver does support all of the lossless sound formats regarding DTS HD masterauduio and tolby True HD. I am thinking that the PS3 does as well. In your opinion, what are the best looking Blu rays that you have personally seen or own regarding visuals and effects? Thanks Again!

You can only hear the noise if you are using the speakers from the projector. We have our projector connected to a speaker system and never hear noise when watching a movie or gaming. It's a none issue in my opinion. The projector is outstanding.

Thanks for the feedback. I bought this model. Love it so far. Beautiful picture on HD cable and no TOC problems...yet. Will follow up if I have any.

Thanks,I called to Sony to get my setup mike replaced and while at it, I asked about this. He gave the same explanation. Putting 4.5 in Bluray today. Nice toys !

I've used it as well but the sound file that played with the movie was commentary from the director. And I've tried it on several movies. I'm sure there is a way to get the right sound track but don't know how.

I'd be curious about this as well. I bought a standard definition FS200 which had really grainy, poor video quality. I'm ready to pay extra for the HD version but would like to know how you like the video quality of of the HF200 so far.

I loved every second of my tv before I sold it, the thing that sucks with plasma is day light but at night it's crazy clear and looks like an lcd/led picture quality..... I bought the TV BC I'm a gamer, if u really want that crystal quality then tbh save that 8 Hundo spend another 5 and get the new 4k, plasma they stopped making this year it's a dead TV market finally, plasma a also tend to buzz more but there was nothing bad about the TV at all I bought it for 650 at best buy

Not all plasmas, I am not sure yet why but I have a similar issue too, did not care to check if it was a various coloured noise or just various shades. I DO NOT have it on my other Panasonic professional plasma though.Either it's HDMI cable or just HDMI connection )I use DVI on others - or this TV has more faults then I initially thought...The worse thing is greenish tint vs older pro plasmas which may not have this deep of the black level but are all more accurate in my opinion. I had 2 of these before and haven't noticed this issue just now - also if you display a window on a gray screen you can notice horizontal smudges at the hight of the window border.

same here. Set up tonight. This background noise is annoying. Like nails on a chalk board. Sending it back. Hoping for better replacement. Shame...it looks good for my small home office (in a spare bedroom). I don''t need fancy, but I don't need this headache that this tv is giving me.

I have the 73" version of this TV that I received last week, and the first thing I noticed is how silent it is. I don't hear any fan noise (or other) unless the room is dead silent and I go put my ear up to the back of the set... and I can hear just about every noise there is. My Plasma TV on the other hand has always drove me nuts with the notorious Plasma buzzing sound. I love the viewing angles, inky blacks, and smooth, even back-lighting of my Plasma, but I am ready to give that up for the size and silence that the Mitsubishi provides. You may want to get your TV checked by a technician if it's still under warranty.

I forgot I posted this. We noticed that it is significantly less loud when playing a dvd vs a blu ray. Trying to decide if we should return it and get a different one or not. So if anyone has this please let me know is you BR player loud?

I heard it for a couple months. I noticed the other day it stopped. And It was only during the time When Plasma was on. Tell me if you hear a difference cycling plasma on or off.

un-believable Circuit city pulled the a3 from their best seller list. The A20 is down around 30 or so. They're definitely pro bluray!

This model started hissing and sometimes it lessens in 'Movie' mode. Also, it will automatically and spontaneously restore default settings while watching it (annoying). The picture is fine, no dead pixels after years...but audio is quirky.

Actually, Matthew Swalwell is right! I tried setting it to standard and things look drastically better! Even when I set the output on my cable box to 720p :)So far my vote for the fix to this problem is setting film stabilization to standard, if you turn it off, the the 240 setting goes off too and I think it looks better with 240 on and FS at standard.
