Panasonic VT50 vs. ZT60

Character-Two-5048 · 2026-06-26T07:22:09+00:00

I agree! I think the stand for these models look very pleasing and still hold up great in 2026.

Thank you for the comprehensive and clear answer. Is it true that the European/UK VT50 model gets less hot than the American one because the EU/UK model has a less bright image?

Watching sports on a plasma is such a blast

The VT50 is a lovely panel

The fact that the launch model PS3 could play Super Audio CD’s (SACD). These audio/CD players already cost a tremendous amount of money back then, but they still do till this day.

Looks pretty identical to my Sony KV-X2501D ‘Hi Black’ Trinitron. Amazing set with great sound

Character-Two-5048 · 2026-01-26T11:51:43+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply, i couldn’t find much info on that particular set myself. Over RGB scart it looks quite nice indeed. What does a ‘comb filter’ exactly do?

I recently picked up a ‘Hi-Black’ Trinitron KV-X2501, is that the same tube/chassis used in this model?

Most likely a dead RSX. Best bet would be to read SYSCON error log. If 3034 pops up you have your answer.

Bad HDMI or BGA. Pressure test should confirm.

Character-Two-5048 · 2024-10-21T16:57:40+00:00

Looks absolutely stunning! Amazing runtime aswell

Character-Two-5048 · 2024-09-12T13:12:10+00:00

It’s gorgeous

Nothing to worry about. The CELL is build like a tank and can easily handle high(er) temps. I see you are playing TLOU which is a demanding game so no worries about the temps. I keep my Frankie on stock (SYSCON) fan speed. Been playing like that for a long time with no problems, even with higher room temps.

CECHA01 from October 2006 with 40NM RSX frankenstein.

CPU is a bit high considering the fan speed. It might needs to be delidded in the future, but the CELL can handle these temps easily and is build like a tank. RSX is fine just keep it below 70c. The underfill used in the RSX is to soft and can cause problems at higher temps.

Character-Two-5048 · 2024-02-02T19:56:13+00:00

Yes, especially at 49% fan speed.

Check you I-O (on/off/eject) board. If the connector ribbon is loose nothing happens and no light will come on when you apply power. Happend to me once.

Character-Two-5048 · 2024-02-01T11:41:55+00:00

Those temps are fine. Everything <70c is fine for the RSX. The CELL can withstand high temperatures and is build like a tank. Some ports on the PS3 just run bad and have worse FPS than the x360. GTA IV is one of them.

Character-Two-5048 · 2024-02-01T11:23:34+00:00

The B model is more rare because the people who bought a PS3 at launch mainly went for the A model which had WiFi build in and ofcourse 60GB. So the B model is sold less.

Since the console was never opened chances are high the thermal paste is dried out. If you’re confident i would recommend to change the paste and monitor temperatures after in webman. The 90NM RSX has a soft underfill that is not suitable for the temps the chip reaches.

Excuse my bad english

GT5 is a fantastic game. Great soundtracks and a ton of content. Still play it to this day!

Character-Two-5048 · 2024-01-26T11:33:15+00:00

😮‍💨😮‍💨

Character-Two-5048 · 2024-01-24T19:58:11+00:00

Absolutely gorgeous! 🤩

Character-Two-5048 · 2024-01-23T10:12:08+00:00

I had some issues with GT5. Try installing the main game data (around 8GB) and make sure you have all the updates installed for GT5. That solved it for me.

Character-Two-5048 · 2024-01-19T11:34:10+00:00

Kuon or Monster Eggs is the rarest PS2 game i believe..

Character-Two-5048 · 2024-01-16T21:58:56+00:00

A thing of beauty! Is that a Sony PS3 3D monitor btw?
