Malaysia version of S1 (S10K) is "inferior" compared to US S1. 

Where you get your info.? Malaysia don't have S1 only S10

The S10 model that is for Asian market is a different panel. Worldwide S10 was a Full HD NeoPDP panel. It was only in limited production thus after the initial production run, production ceased and moved to NeoPDP.

The X10 that is sold here, is for worldwide market. The C10 is the same panel as the X10. U do realise that the X is also almost out of stock, except with the big chain stores. This is due the stocking agreement they have with Panny Malaysia. The 720p panels were the most manufactured as it was cheap. Also the AR was pretty dismal. The G10 locally uses the same panel as the G10 worldwide minus the THX, so firmware controlled the region release.

The V and the Z series are worldwide release.

There is nothing sinister or conspiracy theory on this.

Also production for 2010 models starts in Q4 as testing and sampling for various goverment agencies around the world is submitted usually in Q1 2010. Late Q1 and early Q2 u will start seeing the intro of the entry level and the mid entry level. The higher end models are usually released in late Q2/Q3. This enables them to iron out the electronics problems seen on the initial production.

This is pretty standard for Panny.

Also the Sammys are pretty similar as is LG/Sharp and the rest.

maybe it'should be black levels decresing over time? (means get worse) ??

(if black levels are increasing means the blacks are improving right?)

I have read and talked to some calibrators in the US that the US G series (THX) has a problem where the black levels are increasing with time. It is a firmware bug and it is not clear if it being addressed correctly. The voltage adjustment mechanism is not correct and as such the black levels increase with time. However, I cannot confirm if the same issue applies for our sets as our firmware is different.

ar188,
It is increase as it normally it is measured as ft/L or cd/m2 and the lower is better.

hahaha i mean like when we watch the tv, we can see reflection our self like mirror isit?

Rm7500 for a 46"!!!!  I rather get a 1080p 50" plasma for rm5k. The rm2500 balance can buy PS3 n a bunch of games n BluRays.

I went Desa to buy the LG or Samsung 60/63" that they advertised for rm12999 n then can get PWP Philips or Yamaha soundbars at half price. When I went there the salesman quoted me rm14500 for the TV n rm500 more for the soundbar. All in, he wanted rm2k more than advertised price. He said the newspaper ad doesn't apply. WTF!!!!! Supersalesman of the year award goes to him la.

I have the Panasonic 50" full hd s10k plasma. only a few months old.
Dont know why, the tv is very prone to image retention nowadays. a few weeks ago i can watch programes with bright logo for a few hours without problem, now i switched on astro espn for 20 minutes, i can see the ESPN logo there during black screen when switching between channels.

by the way, Im using anfieldude's colour setting on the plasma 50s10k thread.
