What "theslowmoguys" youtuber observation on Plasma's 600 Hz Subfield Drive is..Featuring the Legendary Samsung F8500

It was shared with me by a fellow plasma redditor..If you're here, thanks to you.
Now, I wonder what it would be like if he did a slow-mo on a ZT60 and VT50, 3000 Hz and 2500 Hz Focus Field Drive (FFD), respectively. 😁
Can FFD capable Plassy be also marketed "like" a "Thousand + Hz" TV if 600 Hz is like 480 Hz TV as an analogy to his observation 🤔 🎌⛩️👺🗯️ YES and No!! 😂
Ain't this what LED Pulsar tech inspiration? Except plasma does it at a fundamental level to create the picture, albeit not a frame by frame like LCD does, but by pulses of partial image info 😁
151FD Pickup
Adding a 151 to the addiction. It was quite dusty so I gave it a good detailing before hauling it in. The owner had the original speakers in box, never opened and the stand was still foam wrapped. Quick base settings and gamma sweep revealed a pretty nice curve. Red highs needed to be brought down by about 1/4 and B high pushed to about 1/3.

youtu.beForza Horizon 6 on the 768p Kuro
Performance mode, motion blur off.
This game is so smooth on this TV and once again, 768 lines of Kuro pixels is all you ever need. Buttery and beautiful with zero lag. 10/10
Pioneer Elite 435pu
Does anyone in the Buffalo, NY area want to get this out of my house before I put parts on eBay and junk the screen? 435pu, R05U w/ remote, no cords. Free to a good home
Now im one of yous and I love it! Any tips? (Panasonic TX-P42GT50E)
Im mainly a CRT guy and exclusively played pre 7th gen on my tubes, but as I finished Metal Gear Solid 1-3 (incl. portable ops and peace walker on the PSP) of course I felt the itch to start playing my dusty old xbox360 and bought a new to me ps3.
I researched on a era specific display and came to the conclusion: I want a plasma TV. A buddy of mine worked for Panasonic and told me what to look out for.
This is how I ended up with this gorgeous!! beast that generates such a vibrant and colorful picture and the consoles look their absolute best.
So happy I did it, was hesitant at first to get such a big beast into my house but I have no regrets!
Anybody got some tips on what I should look out for on my TV/tips on how to maximize the gaming experience? (Ofc already using game mode to get basically nonexistent input lag!)

youtu.beim conflicted: which one of these TV's should I buy?
So near by in the used marketplace website I have the following choices, I don't really know much about these TVs and online results don't really show anything about them. Sorry kinda new to this Plasma thing.. all the TV's listed are around 20-40 Euros in my place.
Pioneer PDP-428XD
Pioneer PDP-427XA (Note: Seller is too lazy to show the display, turned on)
Panasonic TH-37PV7F
Panasonic TH-42PV70FA
Panasonic TH-42PZ80E (Note: Seller is some sort of beauty studio, risk of the TV basically being used as a 24/7 display in a waiting room or something.)
TC-P50VT20 — a beast of a panel. Mine has only ~2000 hours.
Low lag, beautiful and natural looking colors. I have it on THX mode with all settings in the middle currently. Currently my gaming panel while the 111FD is for viewing and streaming.
Pioneer Kuro 151FD picture recommendations?
I bought a Pioneer Kuro 151fd off marketplace for $100 because it was a good deal and the cheapest 60-inch tv in my area. I then found out that this is a well-regarded tv for its era. It did not come with the side speakers but did come with the original remote. It's currently hooked up to a ps4 and looks very good for a basic 1080p sdr tv. I tried messing around with the settings for movies and tv but not exactly sure what I'm doing. I have it set to standard mode using the 36 bit option for hdmi input.
I messed around with the "Pure" mode for my spiderman 2 blu ray, but it seemed very warm and wasn't sure if I liked it. It kinda just looked a little orange, and I'm wondering if maybe I just wasn't using the settings right. If anyone has any recommendations to get the best use out of the tv it would be appreciated.
I also plan on hooking up a ps3 via hdmi to play some games. I've heard the latency isn't the best but I think it would be more than enough for what games I'd be playing like bioshock and dead space.
Again, any recommendations are appreciated for getting the best out of this tv. Thanks
Pioneer 7th gen Service Menu?
Just picked up a 5016HD (apparently it’s a scaled back model that was sold exclusively by certain retailers) , I’ve googled , and tried the methods google suggested , to no avail. Just curious to check the hours on it , but nothing I’ve tried had pulled it up so far.
Help with my purchasing decision!
I have been attempting to locate a VT50 to no avail. Most plasmas offered in my area are low end models being sold for well over $100. I was able to locate a 65in VT25 for $200, but it just seems incredibly overpriced to me. Is the VT25 worth that kind of money or should I wait for a reasonably priced VT50?
Panasonic P60ST50
I found this ST50 on FBMP if anyone is interested, it's too far from me unfortunately. I'm new to the plasma game, but this seems like a good deal in my opinion from what I believe to be an upper mid-range model.
My luck for the year: 55" ST60 for $25
I got it from a very nice gentleman who was the original owner and recently purchased a new TV to replace it. 18,000 hours, minimal burn-in. Only issue is that the plastic trim piece is coming off, but should be an easy fix with some cell phone adhesive. It was on CL for a couple months and I'm honestly surprised nobody else picked it up. He even mentioned lowering the price a couple times and still having no interest. Brought a friend with me to help carry it and it juuust fit in the back of my car flat with some towels. Drove like I had a nuclear bomb in the back and it survived fine.
I've wanted one of these late model Panasonics for a couple years now but they never seemed to show up in my area. Plasma displays are just so cool to me, and the final few models feel so well-built and refined as the manufacturers tried their hardest to advance the tech before running out of steam.
Visible flicker in 96hz mode? - ST60
Just picked up a 55" ST60 for $50 ( nice deal ). Testing out the 96hz mode and notice flicker while in 60hz mode I do not. My S60 doesn't have the 96hz mode so I thought it wouldn't have flicker at 96hz as its higher than 60 but that doesn't seem to be the case. This is normal I assume?
To get 96hz mode to work in windows I set the resolution of the Tv as 1920x1080 - 23.98hz for movies and shows. Its probably from setting windows to this res but can't get 96hz mode on otherwise. Tv doesn't seem to accept 48hz or 96hz
Update: I found pixel direct to irritate my eyes so turned that off. Seems to look best 23.98hz windows + 24p in 60hz as there is no flicker.
