What abt Samsungs LEDLCD TV...especially series8..have you calibrated that yet?....the images looks maybe too good to be true..whats your opinion?

Ah bro, you seem to have very deep interests in these units and I am sure one day you will get one of them.
Last week 2 of my friends were going to buy and they had viewed other brands and models etc etc and before putting the hammer down they came and viewed them for half an hour and then they placed orders for 2 units. Though still pricey but they had no qualms about it.

Sorry to tumpang this thread. Out of topic.

hehe.dun get me wrong...first is I hate Samsung brand what more of LCD colors...but I can't lie to myself...I've fallen in love with the Samsung LEDLCD series 8.

yeah i dont like samsung brand also last time but now samsung series 8 really caught my attention

8500.. very good!

Estimate how much for 50inch one?

I saw some forummers selling them. Forgot the price tho. Btw, anyone has any idea how much the 508XG costs? I've been looking around but found nothing.

I think its RM9,999 at Senq...but dunno latest price now...if still available or not.

46inch is around 2.5k in US.. 55 will be more...

Taken off the official website already. Don't know why? Last time abt 3.6k for 55".

SenQ is selling 508XG for RM7999 (Display set), calar a bit here n there on the plastic cover. No problem on the panel since its made of glass . New set at Harvey for RM8999. If you don't mind about Display set, you can save RM1k

I believe Pioneer wanted to clear all old model since their new Flagship Full HD plasma oledi in the market.

Anothing thing, the 508XG contrast spec is 16000:1 whereas the current Plasma oledi in millions:1. Is the latter one inflated no or different test mode?

still got new flagship plasma models???

16000:1 should be native contract where millions:1 is dynamic contract. Very interesting want to know the performance for 2010's Panasonic VT25 series so-called 5,000,000:1 native contract.

oopsss..should be current flagship. he he.

I have calibrated the 950. The edge LED backlits are pretty good, but not as good as the 950.

The Sammys strengths are the colour accuracy post calibration with the 3D CMS. However, the greyscale and gamma is not that great. The calibrated contrast ratios will still be not as high as a plasma, however, for gaming will be good.

Also if u watch movies in the dark, they still leave a bit to be desired in black levels.

However, if I were to suggest to anyone to get a LCD, i would recommend a local dimming LED backlit set. Hence the 950. I believe Sammy is not planning to release the 8500 to Asian and European regions.

I would suggest u contacting a LX dealer. There are a few left, if the dealer cares to find one. Be careful there are plenty of display sets around. My friend got one in November (new set) for RM8500.

cash price, less than rm8k.. how much less depends on your nego skills..

LX508 for RM8500. Do you have any contact @ Penang? TQ.

TQ.

need to "show me the money" technique ?

Forgive me if I confused you. Contact a LX dealer. Then get them to quote the XG. The price was for a 508XG and not a LX508G. The only dealers that can carry Pioneer stuff are LX dealers. I was told that Pioneer has taken control of all its remaining stocks to clear the last batch.
