wah, finally!!

htkaki, kevinc66 ... got price?

Wait and wait so long ...
actually, now that i've waited for so long, i am tempted to just wait for the V series or G series.
Maybe will come out at KL AV Fair?

very interested, what's the indicative price for this?

That is a good piece of news. Just wanted to check out the reflective screens whether i can accept it.

Checking for you now

sure the price a bit high...if high,worth or not...

Quick quick...i wanna know too

RRP : RM6,499

any bundling promotion for this unit?

Wow...only Rm6499

Nothing yet. At this moment, only the tv. Still waiting for final confirmation on the price which I am going to sell

yes htleg, i'm dying to knw the price oso...and whether any combo deal on the 50incher

That's cheap!!!

*beats itchy hand*

Should be RM5xxx cash term

wow! if really RM5xxx, nice price !! Alas, I just got my P42S10K

No combo at the moment. First unit going for RM5,900 cash with free HDMI cable and s-video cable. Any taker?

alright!!
Solid stuff, should be around 5.5k then!!
now, dunno whether itchy to wait for V10 series or not ... hehehe

maybe have a look at the panel first ... if its a good panel, i don't see why not just take it ... after all S10 to V10 is still 2k saved i guess
for digital cinema colour gamut, one-sheet-glass front, THX ... hmmm...

50 inch Full HD plasma ... finally!!!

That's the best price for now as it is RM599 lesser than RRP of RM6,499

good price... should be aimed for my living hall soon

hope tat time down to 5k+

ugly looking la...plain black only. nice big screen though.

Then you should go for Sony LCD. Get the pink ones.

Yep drooling all over the new Z series. Hope I won't run out of saliva by end of this year. Pink? I ain't no Barbie

dun think u'll hv much luck with the V series. its not gonna be available in M'sia. G & S series only for FHD plasma. not even a 50in G series.




specs came out in the panny US site is significantly different from those released in M'sia...i wonder why..



S series suppose to be NEO panel & infinite black oso...but here, tarrak...

Daryl, what we got here is totally different than the US. Don't even bother comparing with them.

S10 plasma finally comes out 50' version...wondering when will the 50' version of G10 launch?

S10k just rolled out and you're asking for G10K??

it's just few months gap between the 42' & the 50' introduction...so I just expects the same thing happens to G10...

Wah finally 50S10K model is out! Too bad I have purchased the 42S10K. Anyway, it is out of my budget

Why not? When 42S10k came out 42X10k was barely 2 months old. I bet it's still up to the respond on the current latest model.

There won't be a 50" G10 according to here:

http://www.panasonic.com.my/viera/

Wondering if 60inch S or G or whatever series will be sold here. I saw Pana made the biggest plasma 103 inch.. even on display in Best dengki sometime ago, but never really sold commercially here. If pana bring 60ich fullhd plasma priced below 10K, that would be interesting.
Anybody know? tq

very cheap. Good to hear that it is reasonable. So, we can really confirm that the G would be dead.

Not many would buy a 42 G when you can buy a 50 inch S?

Currently, i'm 40pv80 - 7 months onwer, 90-95% mainly used it for Astro, no point upgrade now even it go belowe 5K. if Astro HD now then it's worth to get the 50 inch S.

PV80 have 40"?

i think he means 42"

true. for most msians, all this plasma and lcd stuff is all crap if Astro still remains analogue. Most people go home and get a shock at the crap quality of the picture.

those who still swear that they get very good picture with Astro, obviously has not gone overseas and seen what true digital TV is on flat panels.

but we still have blueray, dvd, xbox360 & ps3 right?
why plasma and lcd stuff must be related to Astro?

cause, most people, 90% of the time watch Astro.

i see, because i am not that 90%
I dun have astro at home, just plan to buy plasma for my PS3.

I don't think we need to fly oversea just to see how good is HD video. In fact my LCD tv at the moment is 95% HD contents only.

Added on July 1, 2009, 4:22 pmAnyway, when I look at the spec on the pana website, it states that the panel used is "G12 Progressive Full-HD Plasma Display Panel".

I try google it and it shows up that it is a Neopdp panel. So can someone confirm that?

Just saw this model at Best Denki Midvalley.....very nice PQ but I don't think I can live with the reflection. So disturbing

So the reflection is very bad...i thought the S is better than the X?

the 42 inch S is less reflective than the X. Is the 50 inch same also?

What is the cheapest 50" LCD now? I think this new full hd plasma from pana is the cheapest 50" full hd tv available in the market.

My only concern is the screen reflection now. Maybe I just have to live with some reflection for this price.

This 50" will be excellent in a close room with no light source from side or opposite. Without the reflection, the PQ is simply stunning for the given price.

I do have 2 BIG windows on the side wall and down lights in my living room. I better go check out the real tv and judge for myself. It really sucks to see reflections on the TV.

most people don't have a dedicated TV room and usually put it in the hall. That is where all the windows and sliding doors are, thus, reflection.

It is a pity. Just like notebooks, everybody chased glossy screen to only finally realise that matte is more practicable. I had both and glossy was far worse.

Clear evidence of technology digressing backwards.

Absolutely agree with you on this on. As consumer, we just have to stop buying it then they will stop producing it.

My sumsung LCD also have this glossy reflection problem. It is good at night without the light on but during daytime watching it at the living room still can see the reflection... Since I have already bought it so have to leave with it...

Samsung LCD with glossy screen is absolutely ridiculous. Its another way manufacturer use to make their screen APPEAR nicer! Will never buy one of those.

I can understand when plasma have reflective screen because of the technology that requires real glass. But LCD can do away with reflection screens yet samsung choose to go that route. Silly!

hi, do you remember the RRP listed for this model at Denki?

Not sure bro. I think 5k+ if not mistaken. 5999 maybe.

hrrmm...altho price reasonable for a 50in FHD plasma tv, but i'm hoping there'll be a combo deal like they offering for the 42in. then it'll be bloody worth it...htkaki shud b able to update us if combo deal is available..mean while, i'll wait till at least KLIAV...see what sort of offering can get there...

the reflective screen is advisable for movie cos it improves contrast..as movie is suppose to be watch in a dim environment just like in the cinema..but as for computer monitor, the mirror reflective surface is the pain in the axx.

if i am not mistaken, Sony is the pioneer in adapting this reflective surface for its LCD ccomputer monitor..

But Tv manufacturer should know that 95% of the Tv are use in household that is bright.

How about compare this model with LG...saw them at denki mvalley...the price isn't much different...samsung also..

People aren't always watching movies. Got news, sports, documentary, sit coms, etc. The whole point with TV is to be able to watch in lighted environment and the reflective screen is too distracting for this. I say bring back anti-reflective screens!

bro..not only movies, video in general. As you have heard some review about the x10k color, they mentioned is natural while some forum members here mentioned the new s10k borders on a bit of oversaturation of the green. I believes it has something to do with the anti glare coatings on the glass. Anti reflective coating is expensive stuff, and look at the vast area of glass the need to coat!

thats is the reason why some plasma is Sooooo...expensive...KURO anyone?

Just got a quote from my friend for the Pana 50S10. Its only Rm5600 with a free camera.

I'm waiting for him to get back to me whether can get extended warranty for 5 years and & also whther can buy without the free camera. Anyone know which model camera they give?

Glossy screen has better contrast and color.
unless, ur room is ultra bright, or u purposely stare into the reflection, you won't notice it.

but for a PC monitor, matte is the way to go, because u need to read, not "watch".

whatever camera they are giving, is not worth it unless you really need a camera. nothing is free, the camera is cost in the bundle..just a matter how much they value it..

If interested in this price, who do I get in touch for this price?

Thanks

Yes, Kuro is the one, the only one "perfect" Plasma... but the price is 3 times than S series (KRP-500a last priced at RM18K).
LG PQ30 plasma has less reflection and not full HD but the picture is beautiful. My worry is, 3 display units of LG in Best denki mid valley have screen problem ... some lines breaking etc... Quality questionable.

very true. Not everyone watches movies. It is amazing how glossy screens have gotten away with murder.

Pay some journalist to say glossy screen gives better colour and everybody chants and sing praises to the glossy screen.

In actual fact, glossy screen in either a notebook or a plasma is a big pain and totally cannot be tolerated.

But yet, some people swear glossy screens are great.

I got 2 notebooks, one glossy and one matte. When I take the glossy to Starbucks, I cannot see a thing. But the matte, I see clearly.

And yet, people chase Apple with their super glossy screens. Half the time, see people moving their faces close to the screen to read stuff

Best price quoted here is RM4850, set only.

Wah what a range of offers, from:

5900 w/ free hdmi and s-video to...
5600 w/ free camera to...
4850 TV only

It's like the price is dropping so fast, reminds me of what happened with BD60.

at one time notebook maker only offer the stupid crystal bright thingie technology to buyer...no matte version, during that time, everymaker is coining this idea of movies viewing in notebook. after much complain from consumers, only they offer back the matte version. My notebook and desktop all using matte version, and need to go thru great pain looking for ones too..

reflective screen do produce better contrast and color and this is not due to the review of some reviewer, use your eyes la bro...put 1 reflective and 1 matte in a dark room, you will see a difference la...

htkaki, your price how much?

See post #16.

Woah, friend, where did you get his price? Can you PM me his contact?
Also, can someone pm me htkaki's contact as well?

Thanks

find htkaki posts and click the PM button..

Wah, RM4850 is a very good price, pls tell us your contact. Now, sure the 42inch G series would be dead.

On friday I saw 42X18k / 42X10K selling for RM 3090 in Senq in Sunway Pyramid. This deal comes with a free camera. While stock last.

I have asked what is the difference between x18k and x 10k and he said there are no difference. Is that true?

flicker as hell. dont use as monitor

I also saw and it is worth it. Works out to RM2800 if you consider the camera.

But it looks like a mirror lah. Reflection so so bad.

RM4850... from CL Khoon Kuching.

Good, at this price, nobody would even bother buying Sharp and Sony 52 inch LCD. Why pay more than double?

Wah Bro, how to buy this from Kuching, laar?? He got connection here or not? As I am seriously looking to buy this without all those freebies!

Guys,
Do you think this TV is too big for 7 to 8 feet viewing distance?

I think it is kind of big for 7 to 8 ft. It will be hard for you to cover the whole Screen. Have a go in Best denki/ Senq / Harvey Norman before start purchasing the TV.

RM 4850 for p50s10k model without freebies. That is good deal. I would be interested as well. Value added for the price includes Plasma TV, Full hd and 50'. Will rock with Astro and with Blu-ray movies.

No. Read up on the general rules for seating distance, i.e. 1.5x - 2x screen width.

omg, RM4850 for P50s10k?
Who selling it? pls PM me.

any other model 50' for price comparison...

Currently looking for HD ready 50inch plasma. Have seen 50x10k playing upscaled kungfu panda dvd in HN pavilion and looks fantastic. Went over to desa LYP and saw LG 50pq30 (RM5399) and Samsung 50b430 (RM5499). However, when test upscale dvd on Sammy (movie called Red Line i think), saw an unacceptable amount of judder when camera pan across a scene and during endroll credits. SA then showed Philips LCD with HD natural motion and it was much smoother (though depth was much better on plasma). Was the Sammy not set up properly or the judder is there for lower end plasmas?

My brother in Kuching CL Khoon in Kuching and the price is for 50X10...not 50S10.

From what I've read, 24p movies do have some judder in them. If the TV doesn't have some form of frame interpolation then you will see some judder in certain panning scenes.

So maybe the Sammy doesn't have such feature?

I don't really fancy 24P as I don't think it have any significant on picture quality. I am using 1080P/60 and so far i have absolutrly no problem at all.

Yeah 60p would definitely be smoother. But all this would depend on the movie right? And most movies are in 24p.

Yes, all bluray are 24P, but 60 is perfectly fine. That is why I dont really bother if my supports 24p or not.

My very very sincere apologies......it's the X10, a million apologies. (The S10 will only be in-stock this week sometime). Very pai-seh..I heard S, he said X...we've gone "X-ray" and "S-arawak" now, to avoid further confusion.

At lest you clear the confusion here.

Should be getting my 50S10 in an hr time.

Update: The lorry just arrive....guess what!!! Its the X10. Salesman confuse again, so they took it back. No 50" plasma yet

This post has been edited by lightning69: Jul 6 2009, 03:07 PM

Yo Bro, how much you got your 50S10 la? Any leads to a good supplier?

Not yet got it? Now supplier say the haven't receive stock yet!!! Should be around Rm6000

Another Legend-like cases

dude..u din check out at the shop before order? hrrm i think next time when ask for quote, need to spell it out properly dy..S for Singapore & X for X-ray. otherwise, will always get problems like these..

dude...that is a sensitive thing to mention here now

I order from my friend thru phone. He order thru his friend who is pana dealer in Bintulu. I specifically ask him to confirm it's an "S" for singapore and full Hd and his dealer told him "yes".

Now that thing is travel 200km only to be send back again.

why?

Here is the first pro review of the TX-P50S10.

Review

Added on July 6, 2009, 11:27 pmFor those of u still undecided between the G10 or the S10 pana plasma, this review from whathifi might help you decides.

Whathifi review

One thing surprising from 2 pro reviews is that the TX-P50S10's image is not as sharp or details as one would like. That is strange considering the fact that this is a Full HD screen.
