I have bought a v20 for gaming , the image looks awesome , looks as good as my GT30 to my eyes except for the black levels which are a bit greyish due to the rising black problem ( the panel has already run for around 18k hours ) , I came across potential fix using an Arduino board to reset the timer thereby fixing the black levels.

My question is this : according to panasonic they have deliberately incorporated the rising blacks so as to offset phosphor degradation so does resetting the black levels cause any issues with image quality or longevity of the panel ?

Plasmas are quite rare in my country, I have a 50 inch gt30 for the living room , was searching for a 42 inch full hd one for the game room ( smaller room so need higher pixel density ) , found a 125 usd p42v20 , need help from the esteemed plasma enthusiasts in this sub:)

1. is this is a good model w.r.t to lag

2. how is the picture quality w.r.t to colours and contrast ratio ?
