You're welcome, but i do suggest you give them a call mate..

saw the KRP-500A selling at HN Sunway for 19999 yesterday. Then today at mid valley outlet the price is 13999. They can further reduce it down to 12999. Wonder if it comes with the color sensor. Cant ask the salesperson as they are blur. They told me the price doesnt come with the tunes media box. Wonder too if the M model can get it locally. Should be cheaper without the media box. Will this be the last kuro?

Kuro is heaven.

you've been there?

got freebies tickets?

lo there,
guys, wonder whats your setting for viewing beyond on 428xg.

tks.

Ah....my 428 is not hooked up to B.yond, when I get a hdmi splitter, I will get some settings for Astro B.yond. However, it is not on my list now, so, it will take time

thanks bro, i can wait

i tried out some of the settings in avsforum, end up need to tweak a bit more..to my eyes though..

Arrgghh... I've been looking for the 428XG all over the place. Anyone knows where else I can find it? Tried HLK and they don't have stock anymore. The 50 inch is too expensive for me.

one shop selling new set in kota damansara. but their price is high...quoted me 5.6k coz they can prove its new, will even show you the hours through the service menu.

last i checked, theres 2 shop that still have display set in shah alam back in jan...dunno whether its been sold or not. forgot the shops name too..

best bet is to wait for 508xg price to drop to 5-6k and haggle it out. theres a lot of 508xg display set still not selling..who knows you might get lucky.

or you can search for samsung b650, its quite good too...

I've just found out that Penang's HN still got 10 new unopen units of Pioneer 508XG for sale at rm8999.

Is it a good price/buy?

nope, you better save up 1-2k more and wait and haggle for krp-500a.
someone bought it at 11.5k last month if i am not mistaken...

i think none in the market can beat krp-500a yet. havent see m with my own eyes so cant say much about that one.

Where is it in Damansara? ALso the ones in Shah Alm. If you don't have the shop names, you can tell me the location? Thanks Man!

the kota damansara shops name is derumah, you can get the contact through pioneer malaysia dealers list.

as for the shah alam...i forgot which one..sorry mate.

Thanks! What's the power consumption like on these 428 ? I've heard the older plasmas consume a lot of energy - as compared ot the newer plasmas which consume less energy. I do understand that power consumptions depends on how bright or dark the scenes of the movies are.

EDIT: Got the answer already.

Dear fellow Pioneer enthusiasts,

I have just recently purchased the KRP-500A. Not an easy decision but well worth it

I also own a Sammy 42" Plasma. Honestly, in terms of PQ you can't really compare it especially coupling it with Pioneer BDP-LX52 for Blu Ray movies.

As a matter of fact the combo manage to churn out really sharp pics from my collection of RM12 Blu-Ray D9 copies compared to my old Sammy Plasma/HT setup

Currently, still breaking in the unit using Optimum Mode. Once it has reached the 100hr mark, will calibrate it on Pure Mode. Supposed to be amazing, refer to the link below:

http://www.avforums.com/reviews/Pioneer-KRP-500A-Review.html

Btw - I have also heard a rumor that once Pioneer has managed to reduce their stock of their PDPs, prices are likely to soar again as these babies will be collector editions.

Get one while you can, think of it as a long term investment

To be honest, I have seen the new breeds of 600Mhz OLED or LCDs. Impressive at first, but after observing awhile you will notice that the smoothness is unnatural as I have read from some where that it is due to overclocking by a few milisecs. Besides, blurring is still a evident.

Rgds,

Nick

oh, didnt we should avoid optimum or i read it wrongly..

nevertheless, enjoy your purchase, agreed its worth every penny.

428xg performance on astro sd exceed my expectation, even my wife gave the nod.

astro hd is great, i just wish they would put up the subtitle..

The KRP-500A in Asia does not have Pure mode.

Only the Ms have Pure mode.

I would suggest not using optimum for now. Use movie mode to break in with reasonable contrast. Or if using the break in DVD then use sport.

Ur best bet is to calibrate it with the ISF modes. That shd be the best for you.
