There were an opinions here that plazmas handle 10 bit their own way without any real benefits. Make sure you have set yours the right way. Personally I always set my TVs to PC mode for decent RGB 4:4:4 handling. That means a playback on 60Hz dispaly, but its ok for me, smooth enough. Check out your TV modes to find out the most suitable for madVR's technology and your visual perception.

Thanks for Your help!
