resolution too low. 1024x768... paying for 786k pixels feels shortchanged vs normal FullHD 2.07million pixels..

yes if course important, or else why watch 2million pixel full HD BDs? just watch normal DVds if resolution is not a concern.. and way cheaper too..

joking rite? best plasma around and dun have full HD??

the pixels are stretched.. not square..

anyway you can feed it 16:9 video and the internal processor will adjust to make it 16:9 with only 1024x768 pixels..

now cheap cheap.. 4k + for the 428.. if can find..

if watch Bluray of course choose Plasma la.. why use LCD?

428, it's not even proper 720p HD.. dun waste your time on this la unless you firmly SD or DVD camp.. maybe 3years ago is fine without much 720p/1080i/p content, but not now.. with BDs and B'yond Astro

casually on the shop floor I also thing the 428 looks super great..

but then I start noticing jagged lines instead of clean diagonal lines on fonts and logo and objects during demo and movie scenes, can pixel structure.. too distracting for my tastes..

so I cannot agree it's even better than a full HD S10 which is lowest costs at 3k.. ,if it can't resolve even half of the blu ray resolution...

it's like playing 720p PS3 games on composite 480i output instead of HD HDMI connection.. it just doesn't cut it..

"but do pick LED or LCD display device , if you often watch Bluray movies."

so it means plasma is not recommended over LCD/LED.. sure or not?

508 should be ok.. seen mpyw's one many times, very good!..

I'm merely answering your question on why I said that (cos someone suggest LCD/LED).. not whether I'm interested to know if you prefer LCD or plasma..

u ask why anfielddude got a Plasma instead of LCD la.. I'm sure his answer is very agreeable to me.. (after all he got calibrator eyes)

I saw our kawan yesterday,.. we should meet up together soon..

8500.. very good!

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

still got new flagship plasma models???

need to "show me the money" technique ?

428 = non HD panel, not even 720p
508 = HD panel..

I would think based on that alone it's preferable to get the HD panel one..

I wonder how much elite anfield bought it ?

wah it cost x2 of the wira in my house.. not elite ar?

I only have S10 plasma.. bought for slightly over rm3k , peasant status..
