Ask bro kianwee, he is in a better position to give review.
He got PY850 as well. His review would be more trust worthy.
Wait till his set 'break in' first.
My set now sent for warranty so i cant give review and it yet to break in yet.
On SQ... can say much, it only a tv. Can say it's up to 'standard'.

Wait till tv break in first.
Colour is bit weird in first few hours of operations.
I saw same problem as well... greenish and bluish image on dark spot.
After the TV properly break in, then have it calibrated.

Personally I'm bit cautious when running tv at 'extreme' setting before tv break in.
Only calibrate/ adjust picture setting after break in.
Just to play safe.

42PY800 5.3k is bit expensive.
Someone in lyn got offer of 50PY850 display set for about RM5.7k.
If you are willing to fork out RM6k, why not waiting for 50S10?
Tho it's not fr Japan...

42S10 only RM3.25k...

Just for info, when Panasonic guys sent my tv back fr warranty...
I saw in their delivery order: 42S10K Dealer price RM4,400, Retail Price: RM4,800.

This 42" plasma (RM3.2k - RM3.3k) is considered a stealth...
IIRC the offer lasts till 14 June.

Properly when 50S10 is launched, they would give another better deal.
According to HTkaki, 50S10 should be available in few weeks time.

Finally our taiko shouts out...
A reliable and trustworthy seller

Planning get another 50S10 for house at hometown.
Hope it will be big hit like a WAVE

A bit overpriced by Panasonic Mys, considering retail price of 42G10 in US is USD1.3k
Btw HTkaki, got my s10 back from Panasonic today. Working well...

I got another TX-42LZ80MK in hometown and still using it, i dun really like it. 1080p 1:1 pixel mapping doesn't look clear.
S10 far more superior than LZ80MK. Why not just give S10 a go since it's cheap and more value for $$$.

it's 1:1 on LZ80 but still weird (i.e. the font and colour). Have turned off overscan in tv menu.
Output is native hdmi fr ATI 4000 series GC.
I have been cracking head since I bought it. But still cant have it set properly. Even changed GC but cant resolve it.
Samsung fhd tv is excellent in 1:1 pixel mapping.

Under shop condition, which ambient light is brighter...
LCD colour seems sharper or to say it in another way it's more vibrant.
But plasma wins hands down for movies... 0.01ms response time. No way lcd can match.
End of the day, trust your eyes

By the way, wat source they feed for test? As far as I know, 4 series isn't really good.
6 series ain't bad.

Great service and support fr HTkaki

It's correct. Go to shop for fast deal.
IIRC it's near seapark.

Get a GC with native hdmi support.

RM3.25k already considered a good buy la

Astro is going digital end of the year. No need to spend on S video
Bear with it at the moment.
Btw Astro is my client...

Report to higher management and committees

Want to say Astro is going HD by end of the year.
So it's not worth to invest in S video considering the 'lifespan' of it.

They have things ready, new Ku Band, new broadcast facility, new batch of DMG is coming as well.
The content that they got are from overseas is HD.
Some even they convert from HD to SD for local viewing.
They are buying the content rights and re-showing it to us.

Customer acquisition cost is something that they have to consider now.
New decoders does not come cheap. Very likely that there would be new package, which is $$ or longer subscription period.
In recent years, most new subscribers that they acquired are from low APRU category
(to say it's rural area Malay, where they only take basic package) and Chinese segment is saturated.
New HD packages would give them new market segment with high APRU for revenue growth.

With HSBB, they got to do something now or else it would be too late and be a threat to them.
Have spoken to ABC's sales and marketing guys sometime ago. I am only going to see them again in Aug.
Cant reveal much...
