Jimmy, are u planning to buy this too?

Bulk purchase anyone?

Bulk purchase for P50S10? can use CC?

When I talked to a Panashop owner, they are able to give RM5690 best price but they cant extend the warranty to 5years because Panasonic does not offer such thing at this moment. Finding it strange since Panasonic offering 5years upgrade for quite a small amount for the 42" model but not this. Anyway, still finding it hard to accept that you have to pay over RM2k to jump from 42" to 50". Been offered 3399 for the 42" in PC Fair but too big for my room, so opted for 37S10K instead for 2799.

you buying? QBM also havent gone yet to audition the demo TV.. now looking at tis?

Off topic:

First impression on early hours of operation is that the black is blacked than S10. Colour seems 'deeper'.
Performance is much better than S10 early when the set is new. Of which i would describe early hours of S10 is awkward.
But I still find the colour of B650 a little bit un-natural compared to S10.
Wait till tv break in first as it's still new out of box.

Apology on sucky images

I thought Panasonic produces the best plasma apart from Pioneer

The statement is true. But LCD TV technology is picking up fast with better contrast and eliminates juddering issue that is link to fast moving scene.

woi bro.. the samsung B650 is a plasma la..

Still too early to tell... do let me update again say in 2 weeks time

@ronaldjoe

Thanks for the first impression.

I think I speak for many people here, perhaps if possible you could post a pic with side by side comparison of the B650 vs. S10 in darkened room so we can see how the black level stacks up. Also your view after break in also appreciated.

Many thanks

It's kind of like difficult for me.
I need to get one more hdmi converter and 'squeeze' the tv's on my cabinet only then i can post the pic 'side by side'.
Btw yesterday I watched concert in dark room. It was 'great' tho it's still in early hours of operation.
I ll try doing it over weekend when I am free.

How is the reflection on this samsung plasma. The older samsung plasma is like a mirror. Is this set better then the S10? I am really concern about the reflection. The other thing is also the image retention. I read from one review that this new samsung plasma is very prone to image retention. Did you notice any retention from still images left on the screen after a short period of time?

hi ronaldjoe... just out of your basic 'instinct', did the Samsung or Panasonic impress you more in terms of PQ? thanks..

Bulk order on... that is if the B650 really is good...

bro.. so far i see only 3 potential buyers at most from Pg... considered bulk order ah??

Should we move to another thread.. since this is mainly reviews for Panny S10

Yes Samsung is prone to retention. This morning I saw slight retention with my vista task panel (short period of time).
On reflection, B650 has better glass as the glass is like ultra violet type that we have on front windscreen of CBU, which is purplish.
1080p 1:1 pixel mapping is better than S10.

Colour & black level of B650 is much better.
But I find S10 a bit more 'natural', or may be B650 is still new.

That purplish thing sounds like an anti-reflection coating.
