yes. correct.

so optical out from tv is pretty useless for the following reasons:

1. if ur source is not digital, no output from optical out. the tv can't convert analog source to digital.
2. if ur source is digital from another set top box, u should directly connect from setop box to amplifier, rather than going through the tv. the tv optical out is only 2 channel.
3. Due to this, it makes no benefit from the analog RCA stereo. U can use Dolby prologic II on both to make it 5.1.

Hopefully I can have my panel replaced as well as it's still less than one week.
The dead pink pixel looks weird on 1080p output.
I'm bit picky. So as I go for full hd panel.
Except for one Tefal stove, all electrical appliances of my house are fr Panasonic.
Hope they wont let me down this time too.

Die hard Panny fan

I love Panny stuff too.

From what u r saying it is a stuck pixel not dead. If u have a screen fix program, u shd be able to "unstick" it or at least try.

Funny thing is its pink...not any of the primary (RGB) or secondary (YCM) colours. Really odd. Each pixel is made up of 3 sub pixels that are Red,Green and Blue. I believe the Red Pixel is stuck. Have u tried a full screen colour screen like the break in DVD? If u have, let me know what u see.

Panasonic tech ppl came yesterday and tried the 'full screen break in' thingy from service menu.
Seeing the screen changing colour one by one...they concluded that's a dead/ stuck pixel in pink colour
They put down the issue into their job sheet and said that they need to refer to their boss for the outcome on warranty claim.
Notified HTkaki on this as well. Got to wait now. Can't do anything from now on.

Not all people have AV receiver that supports HDMI input. In fact AV that supports HDMI are only common in the last 2 years. So the optical input is pretty useful here.

Who is selling the Panasonic TH-P42S10K cheapest? Somewhile back, someone said can even get at RM3200. Is this true?

My friend just bought a unit Panasonic TH-P42S10K for RM3100. He is from Kuching, Sarawak. Took delivery of it yesterday afternoon.

iamsobloodysick just deliver my S10 to me. One hell of a good service, all my future purchase will goes to him.

typo error. What I mean is some people claim that the HDMI should go t the AV Receiver first then only to the TV. But many older AV receiver don't have HDMI input so they can connect to the TV first then route the audio from the Tv to the AV receiver.

how's the S10 compared to the older gen TH-50PY850H ?

Running break in images now. Will compare it with the 50" when the break in is completed.

Out of the box, I can see the black level is really impressive, definitely an improvement over the X10. Less glaring too due to AR filter.

"less glaring due to AR filter"....how much less? I am really interested to know because I am waiting for the 50" model and i really hate reflection.

Very much less, but the reflection is still there. But not that noticable. When I have my X10 previously. the glaring is almost unacceptable during daytime, I have to use blackout curtain for my 3 panel sliding door to totally prevent daytime light from coming in.

I wonder how it compared to so called LED tv ?
