nods, the difference between 508xg and krp-500 is about 4k. nevertheless, its also worthwhile to check out what panasonic going to offer in a few more months.

though we always get the downgraded ones...

which is why my vote is with pioneer, tq for selling xg,lx and krp even at a premium.

good price bro. nice bargain.wonder it'll drop under 10k in the next few months. LG also has launched led sl90. dunno the price though...

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

tks.

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..

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...

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.

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.

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..

bro, 6.4k is expensive for 428xg. i got mine albeit a display unit at sub-4k.

derumah sell one for 5.6k, at least thats the price they quoted me. if your budget is 6-7k, its better to wait for 508xg. i think by mac or april, it will drop as new models are coming in and the stores definitely need to clear it out.

reevaluate your requirements,needs and budget. do remember that dealers are hard put to sell 508xg due to its premium price. alternatively stretch it to 10k, show the cash and haggle for krp...

if i have 10k i would do that , alas my budget is only 4-4.5k...

5 year warranty only applies to 508xg and krps and you have to register within 14 days of purchase.

for 428xg its 2 years if i am not mistaken...

one thing for sure, if your heart already set on kuro, dont buy something else...i almost went for a new g10k..did a 180 u turn and took the display set.

0.004 fL ftw.

off my head, 2,3 shops in usj taipan. one in senq shah alam.

hn and best denkis too. but then its hard to bargain at these places..

senq sacc mall. happy hunting guys...

bump into this while surfing around, its in japanese though. the main debate is on the comparison of input between component and hdmi and from the tests that they made, there are significant differences and component is coming out tops. (for japan 428hx though)

guess i ll buy a cheapo component cable to test this with astro beyond first and if the pq has significant improvement..hmm

kuro discussion

p.s explanation on the result from testing using the thx demo disc II is a nice read..

like anfield said, dont worry, its quite resilient + it has the orbiter too...

8-12 hour astro content...hehe no problem at all.

this is my first hdtv, my expectation is around 2-3 years of usage. if your electronics can last to 5 years that is considered very good already.

people are dishing 2.5k per year for new handphone or laptop...add another 1k and you'll get a 42" already..

of course this is my 2 cents and most of us would really want our purchases to last long....

just take good care of it i guess...i know i am

rock on. 2018 is a long way....
