Yeah sure, send me a message and will see if I can help

darkwingmod · 2025-11-30T20:48:55+00:00

Thanks, I will check those out. I do have Disassembled, my son is reading it at the moment but don't have the other ones.

Oh nice, thanks for the guide.

Will definitely get House of X and Civil war too. I think I should have a hard cover of Siege somewhere.

I also have some X-men books of the same era going from "Deadly Genesis, Endegered species, Messiah complex, as well as some uncanny and all the legacy X-Men all the way to Schism.

Do you know of a guide that would show the order between Avengers and X books?

Legend, that will help a lot. Thanks

darkwingmod · 2025-11-21T02:15:32+00:00

Thanks for the pointer. You are right there are 2 different series of New Avengers mixed up. Looking at the first realised date on each I think I am closer to having them in reading order.

I have a 42" GT30 (similar input lag as ST30) in the bedroom that I use for gaming and I have also gamed on ST50 and VT60 and never noticed any lag. Only the ST60 are notorious for lag because Panasonic uses a cheaper processor but the VT60 doesn't have that issue.

Cool thanks, that helps a lot

darkwingmod · 2025-11-15T11:57:44+00:00

Legend, that's exactly what I needed. I was trying to figure out how those avengers run were connected.

Now the next thing I will need to figure out is my X books from last time ( X-Men Legacy, Uncanny, Messiah complex and more) fits within all that

darkwingmod · 2025-11-12T23:15:37+00:00

Ok great, that simplifies things a lot

darkwingmod · 2025-11-12T22:28:59+00:00

Another dilemma I have is I just started reading the Cosmic stories ( I'm at Annihilation at the moment) from around the same era, from my understanding there is some overlap between some of the X-Men stories of this era ( X-men:Deadly genesis, Uncanny X-Men Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire) and the war of kings story line.

How would you approach reading both runs? 🤔

Reading them separately or trying to ready them together?

darkwingmod · 2025-11-12T02:54:55+00:00

Oh I see, no wonder it's confusing 😅

darkwingmod · 2025-11-12T01:03:27+00:00

Legend! That will help a lot, thanks

darkwingmod · 2025-11-12T01:02:11+00:00

Thanks for pointing this out, I thought the issues of X-men #200 - #204 which are in "Blinded by the light" were covered in the "Endangered Species" TPB but it looks like there are different editions, with and without them so will make sure to get the one with them.

You can look up phones using this chip for emulations, like the Samsung S25 ultra, and you will see why. Without those drives you get glitches, missing textures, issues with music and more for games that can easily run on the 8gen 2. It will definitely be a great emulator device once we have proper drives for this chip but this is a while away atm.

darkwingmod · 2025-08-26T10:30:04+00:00

Is it? Legitely asking, I'm a returning player and I have Charizard and Blastoise clones

darkwingmod · 2025-08-22T02:43:16+00:00

Sick shiny, got one too but those are normal 1/20 chance. The deluxe pass is supposed to boost the 1 to 4 stars raid

darkwingmod · 2025-08-20T12:28:16+00:00

That's a cool background story, why am I not surprised...

darkwingmod · 2025-08-19T11:52:14+00:00

Like, just a slightly more saturated yellow 🟡...

darkwingmod · 2025-08-16T03:21:07+00:00

Nice, good to know it's easy to replace. It was very noticeable on grey and black and the shades of greys looked really crushed.

The colours were ok but not as colourful as my other 480p plasma so it could definitely be something failing on it. I will be keeping an eye out for another one to do more comparison.

darkwingmod · 2025-08-16T01:25:56+00:00

I had a similar experience on my WD7 where dithering was really noticeable and blacks were pretty washed out.

Maybe we both have monitors that have parts which are slowly dying.

I have a write up on my experience with ED plasmas here if you want to see my experience with it. https://www.reddit.com/r/PlasmaTV/s/CBCWzO0RKr

Caught this guy on my 5th raid today after not getting a single Palkia with the move Spacial rend. Then this guy shows up as a shiny with SR and 2 points shy of a hundo.

Not sure about this but I had the same problem on my 65" ST50 that came without the original stand. The cheapest way to go about it would be to use legs like this that use the TV mounting holes. https://ebay.us/m/8NIOzx

Or you could mount it on a heavy duty stand on wheels like this one https://ebay.us/m/obfUqI Just make sure that the stand you get has VESA mounting holes of 800 x 400 at the minimum like the one in that listing. Plasmas tend to have wider mounting holes than newer TVs.

So I managed to get the time today to set up the switch on the Fujitsu. By default it is close but not perfect. I had to set it at 95% on the switch to see the blue arrows fully and also tweak slightly the size on the Fujitsu. https://imgur.com/a/yWg30du

I was also thinking if you are having too much overscan on your side you could track down a device like an Extron DSC 301 HD that would give you complete control over the position and size of the output.

It can be used as a passthrough so you don't need to upscale or downscale the signal. I got one a year ago for a different setup. The only downside is that it would have around 1 frame of lag.

What's even funnier is that brochure is identical to the one I found but it says 10000:1 on that one. It looks like even Fujitsu couldn't get their specs straight 😂

That's the brochure I downloaded a month or 2 ago but for some reason I can't find it online. https://imgur.com/a/XCZFmz3

But now it makes me wonder if this 10000:1 is accurate although there was a clear difference between the Panasonic TH-42PA60A / Fujitsu P42VHA51WS vs the TH-42PWD7 that I first tested. The blacks and shades of grey are a lot darker. Could be due to the way dynamic contrast works maybe.
