well, that's the problem..
either go for sammy HD ready panel with better colours or pana full HD but less impressive display from what i have seen and alot have been saying so too..
so it's a dilemma for me.

I am in the same boat...wanting a plasma but a "value for money" one

What do you guys think of a group buy for Viera TH-50V11 from SG? Nice specs and good review, if not one of the best in the market next to KURO

Issue is local warranty in case of any prob

Still will cost some RM8-9K

hi. whats the clicking sound whenever i power on & off my lcd tv? sounds like crt monitor degaussing click?

Very informative article

oppo owners should have this test disc.. anfield!..

but the moving resolution wedge could also be found in other test disc..

Yup, its a pretty good test disc.

There is especially one test there for chroma multiburst that was surprising. Apparently, there are a lot of displays/BD players that fail this test.

is that related to chroma upsampling bug thing?

They have another pattern for that. This one tests the bandwidth of the chroma channels. I have seen quite a few players fail this, also displays.

I'm looking for a birthday present for my dad.

Need some advices with regards to some plasma... been researching but the terms are just too confusing.

Size : 42 - 50"
Resolution : Full HD / HD Ready
Distance from TV: 15 feet
Price : 4.5k

Purpose will be for Astro 70%, 10% Karaoke, 10% Wii and 10% link to PC to watch online movies or surf net ONLY.

Basically only looking for Panny models. Would appreciate if someone could tell me where to buy in Ipoh.
Any suggestions?

50PX10 is in ur price range. Shd be good for your needs. I do not know where in Ipoh u can get it. PM commontan as they might deliver. from Penang/KL.

This is for LG model?

Sorry, Panasonic.

What is the exact model? I search the net for 50PX10, it returns LG model.

Panasonic TH-P50X10K

Thanks for th info.... I went to SenQ and they are selling 50" for RM5699.... huh!!!! expensive and over budget....

Now the price for TH-L37X15K and 42X10K is about the same. Which means 37' LCD is near to the 42' Plasma price.
Of course in term of money value, plasma will be great, but since same price only can get 37' LCD with 100 Hz, does it mean LCD is better?

how much is this L37X15K ?

As I said, the price is about RM4500 only. PM commontan and see if they can deliver to Ipoh.

No. It all depends on panel yields at the factory. At larger sizes plasmas are cheaper to manufacture than LCDs. To make small size plasmas is not cheap, hence the smallest size plasma was 42in. Panasonic and LG used to make plasmas at 37 and 32 in but it was not cost effective.

32 - 37in LCD panels are the sweet spot in the manufacturing plants, thats why the prices are so low. The panel maufacturers are also improving the yields at 40in > however its still not too cheap yet.

It has nothing to do with being better, its all about cost to manufacture.
