New Plasma (px80) and PWM Noise !!!

mantsat · 10-06-2008, 11:34 AM

Hi!
I'm a new Panasonic 42px80 owner and i happen to notice the pwm noise on my tv....(unfortunately i didn't see it during my "market research")
It's a bit annoying ,at least the first days, and i'm wondering if anyone else encountered the same issue and if he got used to it...

Does anyone knows if it is possible for pwm noise to cause eyestrains

?

Thank you a lot!!

Just what is PWM noise and can you explain the video problems your TV is exhibiting?

PWM = pulse-width modulation noise
look here:

It's flickering and it's a bit annoying...
Anyone who has experienced same problem?

Are you in the UK or the USA?

Your link is bad BTW.

I know on the UK version it has a Intelligent Frame Creation (IFC) setting/feature that should be shut off from what I read which could solve your issue.
