You can use the ordinary VGA cable.

Or HDMI cable if your laptop has HDMI port.

I'm now the proud owner of a 42X30 which I got from SNS last Saturday to replace my Full HD 42U20.

I must say that I am impressed with this set as it exhibited better PQ than my previous set.

After adjusting the picture levels for "break-in", I went 2 notches down for the resolution output of my DVD to 720p and adjusted the picture levels on my DVD player so that the picture wouldn't be that bland.

Here's my problem...as i turned up the brightness on my DVD player, I noticed that the black standby picture suddenly became grainy, this is looking up close of course...is this normal for a Plasma? Now, I noticed that even when playing movies there's a bit of grain the picture. This is my first Plasma and don't know how it really behaves.

Since I sold my media player, I couldn't test images from another set.

I've read in a couple of other forums that this might be a problem with the HDMI ports (which I hope it isn't). I didn't want another problem with my new set. Or am I just being hypersensitive about it coming from the floating blacks dilemma of my previous U20?

Overthinking? or cause for concern?

Maybe Master Carlo can give some inputs...

TIA guys...

After reading threads and good reviews about x30, I think decided na ako to get one for myself.

For the owners of x30, how did you break in this unit?

nice! pareho tayo ng wall bracket na ginagamit ko for my current 32" so di na pala ako magpapalit once mag-upgrade ako to 42x30

Patanong lang sir. Kasama na po ba yung mga turnilyo sa wall-mount ng CDR-king pati yung ikakabit sa TV? Thanks po in advance.

sirs, mga fellow x30 users, question lang tungkol sa optical output nitong plasma.,
im using a htib with one optical input., i would connect x30's optical directly to my htib.. Kung kakabitan ko ng media player,ps3 or any source thru hdmi, will the x30's optical audio out simply pass its original audio from hdmi? (ex. Dts input from hdmi, dts also from optical out.)
sorry medyo magulo hehehe..
TIA..

Miguel^ · « **Reply #138 on:** Dec 27, 2011 at 10:15 PM »

@este
this model has no optical out. Maybe you have different model TV.

Philander · « **Reply #139 on:** Dec 28, 2011 at 12:23 AM »

I can confirm that X30 has Optical Out.

To answer your question.

First DTS and MP4 AAC audio files are not supported by X30, even pass-through DTS/MP4 AAC is not supported.

It will be useless (in DTS) if you choose this option:

NMT HDMI Out ---> X30 HDMI ---> Optical Out of X30 ---> Optical In of HTIB

So if you have NMT, then connect NMT to the HTIB. Since you have HTIB with 1 optical input, I guess you can only use one at a time, thus bypassing Optical Out of the X30 and you can only listen to analog out (2CH) or TV speakers.

Also, it better to use NMT for media player rather than build-in media player of X30

@Philander
yes sir, you got exactly what im trying to do..

and also hndi ko po ginagamit yung built-in player nya..
mabagal mag load and madaming not supported na file sa hdd ko..

so i am not really getting any surround decoding in my x30's opt. out??

oh well., i might just get some optical port switcher..
thank you sir for your time.,.. cheers..

I noticed it on my 42x30 as well. Does not bother me anyway. Thanks, thought it was an issue.
