Dear Fellow experts,

Writing to get some advice on the above 2 model.
I saw at panashop the P model is going for 24xx and L for 28xx.

Am no expert on this but, am not sure which to get a plasma or lcd?.
Both have their good and their bad. Will be using it to watch astro most
of the time, no gaming, but maybe will in the future.

The only thing holding me back on the plasma is the power consumption, heat
and maybe if the screen will last as well as the screen burn ins.

Unless got other brands within the same price range that i should consider?

Thanks in advance.

picture quality not important to you?

also are you sure P version S10 is so cheap 2.5k? maybe people want to buy at 2.8k also cannot find the stock now..

well i was there a couple of days back and that was the price i saw. As in got stock or not, maybe sold out already la, but
just considering the 2 models.

Go for plasma..as much of ur time will be watching Astro,no point on getting lcd for the pic quality of astro on LCD will not satisfy u..

my 2cent..

TH-P42S10K for that price? No way. Go to Panasonic website and see the price for ur own self......

http://direct.panasonic.com.my/Products.aspx/Details/225

See for urself

Last time when I decided to buy tv, heat issue, possibilities of burn in & power consumption are also problems that bothering me, so far I have used the P42S10 for about half year, I'm really satisfied with it, the heat issue & power consumption is not as serious as what I thought initially, not to mention that I have no air-con, I'm using normal fan only...so dun worry about it, for movies purpose, go for plasma P42S10, you'll not regret!

Hope my little experience & opinion would help you

Well that's the current price for X10 model-lah . X10 can't be cheaper than S10 kua?

Anyway, if you put S10, X10 & even C10 side by side...have any one of you see any diff? For me None..All the 3 giving the same reso & PQ to my nooby eye

Probably only the marketing hype saying S10 having Full HD but lower Mhz at 550, & the X10 series having 3 HDMI port which older C10 only 1...

its in some shop in ss2 la, but cant quite remember the name, i go check it out later this week to confirm, hope i was not
mistaken

always look at the back.. last week at best denki, I saw they stuck the red Plasma promotion sticker on the panny LCD 42.. LOL..

list the shop name.. i really need to check here if this shop really selling 2.5k.. that is crazy price... tell us pls.. we need to confirm and buy..

I hv a strong feeling it's X series liao..haha

Just put up my L42S10K this morning - collected from Tesco at 11pm last night - great PQ using MonsterVideo2 S-video cable on ASTRO decoder - got the S10K at 2499 RM last Saturday

Wah really so cheap liao? shocking...How about the price of the plasma? same?

I think its 3299

which tesco??...is it Puchong tesco...or all tesco same...do you know promotion until when..??

I THINK R X MODEL GOING 24XX RIGHT, NOT THE S MODEL

Promo was at Tesco nationwide. Ended last Sun. Now back at rm 3799. Am sitting in tesco extra sham alam writing this post bow having a cuppa with my family

ya...ur r rite...yesterday nite i go tesco puchong..really prepaid wan to buy it...but when i reached there and go check the price....the price is back to normal x Rm3299 and S 3799......haiz...bad luck..!

anybody know where can get more cheap price?

I just paid deposit for the P42s10k, the price is RM3399 with 3 years warranty and HDMI cable comes free with it.

If you want it with Pana Blu Ray player, it'll cost around RM41xx.

The shop is placed here in CSH Electrical here in Sungai Petani Kedah
Yeah, I know it's far away from your place, but do try contact the person named Thiban, maybe he can help you guys. Here's his number 016-4407353. Last time my friend bought a plasma from KL, the shop charged him RM100 to post to Kedah but that was 2 years ago.

I'm not the shop's salesman or something, just trying to help you guys, cheers~

Just saw TH-L42S10K at Best Denki KLCC. Offer price is RM2999. Once calibrated (or as close as I can come to it in bright store lights), the picture is very nice. No overscan, which is nice indeed.

HOWEVER, when running the 7669 code on a Sony/Columbia BD (Easter Egg calibration menu), the company name address not legible. Don't know why.

hi all,
i just book 2 weeks display Panasonic Plasma 42" S series at 2799, will collect it another 2 weeks time...by the way, is that reasonable price ?

Yeah cheap liao...

yup that's the cheapest (for those place with stock)..

where you buy?

ya...where u buy??

wah where to buy?

i saw 1 display unit for sale RM2850, worth or not?

oledi there since june 2009, let assume open everyday, 12 hours a day, so is roughly 2600 hours usage.

I tot LCD can tahan 50,000 hours.. so 2600 or over 5% is not much..

is a plasma S10K

then better.. can tahan longer..

the latest models should tahan 100k hours..

ic, but do u think is worth to get that display unit for 2850 instead of waiting for the new S2 model?

but not sure what is the pricing for S2 though.

Hunt for more promotion & wait for tesco/Giant ore even carrefour...the price will drop to the ridicolous RM2499 wan!!

bro..are u sure?...the price for p42s10k will drop to RM2499??
when it drop price....
but i heard someone P42s10k no stock now...is it?
pls info....TQ
bcos i really need it...wan buy and enjoy on chinese new year...hehe

try to hunt around...there's another unit display available to let go at jusco midvalley..

The promo ended last week..dunno when will start again

Also go for Plasma. Nowadays no more burn-in issue on plasma anymore.

Really keen on P42S10 ....
I'm hoping to get this end of this month...

Hoping got Sales...... 2499 its very good price...
will search for that!!!

hope chinese new years got sale.....if someone know where got sale....pls pm me...TQ so much

How got sales? U want find 1 existing P42S10K in the market also hard.

i buy the P series last time from imbloodysick at RM2850 with free HDMI cable from panny. RM2850 for display set is a bit expenive for me. Better consider before purchased...

just got my plasma 42" s series yesterday, so far so good but I do feel that the sharpness and clarity of the picture can be improved...should I use the s-video instead of normal cable can enhance this? what setting should i use? right now, I'm suing normal mode view with contrast setting to 45, brightness 0, color 45 while sharpness increase to 90 drastically...
appreciate your advise with this..

Bro, good for you. Most shops no longer selling Plasma S series.

plasma s series still available...from a reliable info, you can still can get it at jusco sunway piramid but you have to hurry up...

bro...how much the price now...still got offer??

sure got the offer...now already sales at jusco, if you spend rm100 in one receipt, you'll get voucher rm5....if you purchase the tv for rm3000, you'll get rm150 voucher...the price of the tv is depend on how good you are can bargain the price, make sure you hard bargain...

yesterday i go lowyat...got Offer For Panasonic P42x10k RM2499, L42s10k RM2999....
But dont have P42s10k....Haiz...!
is it price cheap??
anybody know where got P42s10k sale???

bro inntech,

have you try jusco bandar sunway?....last weekend still available 4 units..

STill no valid real reason why the S series withdrawan from the market but not the X & even the older C series...Something wrong wth this model liao.....I am suspecting proabably the burn-in issue reported in another thread "Panansonic screen burn"

Reason. All cases of such screen (Currently) burn only on S series....

Well this is just my 2 sen small brain hypothesis hor..dun flame after this haha

thx bro for info..!
i also hear it B4 about Burn in...
so how about L42s10k ?...i confuse bcos many people tell me 42's plasma is better then LCD....
i dont like X bcos it dont have Full HD....!I
or brother have other choice for me??
Around RM2500-Rm3500

Well, for me after comparimg lotsa plasma/LCD side by side...I can't really see much diff between full HD & HD ready...Infact it's almsot the same if u put C, X & S series side by side....Even LCD & plasma also not much diff except viewing LCD from far side angle really no good..

what is your source for testing? Have try with original blu-ray?

then about plasma problem burn in....is it all plasma TV same with this problem??

I dun hv any BD disk. Only those mkv/m2ts/mp4/avi/TS/rmvb files ni vioa POHD. The testing..compare by visiting harvey Niorman, Tesco, panny shop & more lah.. For me not much diff wan unless as u said if really play using BD disk..whcih I thing those ppl in Harvey Norman did right?

At least my S10K Plasma don't have such issue.

Well mine is p42x10 series ..no such burn in problem...so far few S series owners kena liao

What I saw salesman doing is using pirated DVD and/or astro. Last time I saw one salesman demo a blu-ray to customer when I pass by the HSL, I thought this is very interesting, but when I walk closer to them, I noted that is pirated BD and it is not BD anyway, it is just pirated DVD9. So, I quickly walk away. LOL

Me dun use BD disk wan & forseable future too..For what need Full HD wor...sumore after comapring so many outlets, PQ all almost the same wan, so ended decided on X series enuf liao..hehe almost bouth C series too but only having 1 HDMI

Maybe your eye sight not sharp enough to spot the difference, good for you as you could spend less for Non-Full HD tv . There is definitely a difference as Full HD image is clearer and sharper in details and have brighter image overall, that what I could spot between these 2

yeah...that's correct, the should be a different between these 2 series even not much....for me I satisfied with this s series though still not show it's capability..
