I have a question, why is it so cheap at HLK? Display unit ah?

Desa HT sells 508XG at 8800 and KRP500A at RM13K. For 428XG, it's been discontinued but if you still can get new at RM4.5K or less, grab it. I paid full price at RM6999 more than a year ago. The picture is just phenomenal for 42inch considering it's rez is only 1024x768. It's still better looking than most FulHD plasma today. Flagship AV in Kepong has full range Kuros and gives best deal also.

I saw both the 508XG & 500A side by side... seriously I couldn't really tell the difference. So I am awaiting for the price to come down for the 508XG.

And sometimes I feel that 508XG has more light output (brighter) hmm... rclxub.gif

This is inaccurate. The 9G Kuros can easily do ~50ft/L without clipping. The 8Gs cannot go above 36ft/L without clipping. However, this is in the ISF modes.

It should be like that really.

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 tongue.gif

My 2nd gen aquos from Japan already passed the 5yr mark and on the 6th year now. Still working perfectly. And the pioneer looks more solid than the aquos and I believe most of them can pass 10 year mark. Pioneer, in a circular to all distributors, has guarantted availability of all Kuro parts until 2018. Need not to worrry.

Relax, Bro. I bought my KRP500A Dec last year as well as another forumer here.

Based on the current market price it's really worth picking up a unit.

Let us know when you are officially a proud owner, will gladly welcome you to our little KURO community below  thumbup.gif

Waiting for injury time to tangkap krp500 or 600 smile.gif Hopefully can get "more affordable" price. I think we are almost in injury time already haha... Kuro memang best thumbup.gif
