How do you compare the B550 Vs Panny S10?

Was just wondering the differences between the B550 Vs B650... ? Believe it is only the extra features but PQ is the same... anybody can confirm this?

We know B450 is not FHD, hence it would not be fair to bring in the B450 to the comparison...

B650 PQ is much better in my peasant eyes due to the ultra clear thingy.

Besides the media playing capabilities on the 650, the other difference is Ultra Clear Panel+ vs Clear Panel (or something like that lah...)

The rest are the same IIANM.

Does the Ultra Clear Panel that significant compared to the Clear Panel?

Is it the same Ultra Clear Panel like the LCD series?

If these are the only differences, I might as well get the B550 which is cheaper by RM1K...

RM1K can be used to buy AC Ryan PlayOn and a few more Bd's....  brows.gif

This is the feature that makes big difference.

I am quoting comments from our taiko 'lee.nicholas'.
Apology as I have quoted this without your permission. notworthy.gif

Hi Ronald,

Just went to H/N Pavillion on Saturday. You were right. The Panasonic just could not hold a candle to the Samsung. Really disappointed me on how they could drop the ball so badly when it comes to the picture quality.

I have already ordered my sets from Best Denki. Managed to bargain it down to a good price imo. Will receive my set this Saturday. Just hope there are no IR issues.

Again thanks for the advice. If not I might have just went for the Panasonic and kicked myself after seeing the Samsung.

Yes. 2 x B650. without second thought. He exchanged 2 units of B350 lcd with 32" B650.
He is unwilling to disclose more in this thread as our elites are sweat.gif . Afraid say something wrong.
Hopefully he would post some comments on this as well. notworthy.gif

So ronaldjoe, you manage to compared the B550 and B650 before your purchase? The Ultra Clear Panel that significant huh....

Yup saw B550 Vs B650 and other plamasssss in HN Pavillion. Other stores... they just segregate Samsung and Panasonic.
Hardly can see them placed together side by side.


Added on September 1, 2009, 9:52 pmAll this while... it's like I'm the only who give comments.
It's not credible. Hoping other owners would post comments as well.
So I can keep quiet. brows.gif
Else this thread would die eventually.

I like this quote from AVS post #1866
QUOTE
Here's my take...I've had my 58 for almost a month and estimate I am around 250 hours, quite possibly more. I calibrated it the day I pulled it out of the box using Pastors settings. However, when I ran my breakin DVD at night when sleeping I lowered the contrast to 50 and brightness around 20. Also when I was not around (someone has to work) and the wife and kids were home I kept c & b at those settings as well in addition to wide fit to avoid side bars as much as possible. But all the while, from day one when I was around and watching, I ran the TV at calibrated settings using screen-fit but being careful to watch for static images. Even having static images at times for an entire baseball game and running blu-ray with bars at the top in some formats for 3 hours at times, I never, ever, have seen any evidence of IR. My picture is the best I have ever seen from a flat panel (or any TV for that matter) and am thrilled with it. Bottom line it's all about common sense. Be careful, be diligent and proactive, but enjoy your TV.

comes with 32" lcd... one year warranty
Even if with 5yr warranty from a china man shop, it's a no no shakehead.gif shakehead.gif
5yrs warranty from big store is more reliable.

the offer is only with standard 2 years warranty.

so there's someone offering even cheaper at 6.5k with free gifts?

does she have the shop?

Plasma only one yr warranty. LED TV is 2 yrs warranty IIRC. notworthy.gif
Please check... appreciate someone could clear the doubt.


Added on September 8, 2009, 6:01 pmBro elite chew... you should get one unit first brows.gif

AFAIK, it's arranged by shop with some insurance underwriter (not by bank, pls correct me if i'm wrong notworthy.gif ).
Whereby, there is cost to be borne by the shop.
Touch wood... if something happen cost of repair could easily hit 1-2k...
HN warranty charge for 5 yrs is 1.7k for B650 plasma.

LOL an unlucky guy. sweat.gif
For unbiased review, please do read AVS forum:
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1144791

58" B650 is more prone to buzzing sound (according to AVS).
Personally I have changed my 3 days old 42s10 panel as well.
When it came back, there was a point of dirt on the internal glass.
Panasonic was forced to took it back for repair again. Turnaround time was like 2 weeks.
Generally Samsung after sales support is inferior compared to Panasonic.
But I still prefer B650 over S10 plasma for the price.

My last quote fr her was 6480... sweat.gif
Price shouldn't go up as this Plasma come in bulk...
Only sell well in KL accordingly to Best.
Do check with Best, they have better pricing with 5 yrs warranty.

Actually I am bit regret. Should have gotten a 55" instead.
Guess samsung would bring them in later.

ronald,
nevermine, you can upgrade to 55" and sell me at 1/2 price to subsidize the upgrade  rclxms.gif

Arrgggh. if that's the case... i'd give it to my parents LOL
I mean those yet to get 50" can consider 55"
Bigger plasma pricing doesn't go steep compared to lcd tv generally.
