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.

just got mine a couple weeks back.. DesaHT, go see Chin.. can get better price than that but it was a cash deal tho.. 428XG and 508XG is HDReady but pic quality is still superb.. saw the latter at mpyw.. watching animation really give you that wow factor..

Display unit? Don't want la, if that's the case I'll go for the Panny 42" G10. But other places also might be selling at 4.5k so I think it's not a display set.
By the way, has anyone made comparisons between the 428XG and the Pana TH-P42G10K? I am actually torn between the two. Can someone give me their input?
Here are the specs for the Panny: Panasonic Viera TH-P42G10K Specs

someone said if display pun, just get it.. kinda agree with him.. but nego further la.. you know, 428XG really extinct oredi.. kinda like collector's item oredi.. heheh.. even 508XG is running out.. you notice how you see used panny/samsung/sony/other always appearing on mudah for sale.. ever see a pioneer TV? i know none coz been monitoring for some time.. ANYWAYS, you go la bring your favorite bluray go to your favorite shop and ask them to play d bluray on d G10 and 8XGs.. let your eyes decide..

some ppl questions pioneer PQ since HDready at 720p (or shd i say 768p).. i used panny's 42LZ80 FullHD and 42S10 FullHD.. then made a trip to mpyw's pad and watched a couple of MKV and bluray demo on his 508XG.. decided there and then, when i got me some moolah, will get me a kuro..

so when i got my kuro, watched kungfu panda.. feels like am watching it for the first time all over again.. this is coming from a panny guy with LZ80 fullHD and S10 fullHD.. still keep my LZ80.. always reminding me how the PQ upgrade justify the premium i had to pay.. tongue.gif

First time saw the 508XG. Despite not Full HD, I speechless, the picture quality so real and awesome and with '3D' feel. BTW, found one shop is clearing the Display Set for RM7999 (comes with 5 yrs warranty).  Really itchy liao...  Is this a worth buy for 8th Gen display?  Is there any 50" TV comes close to the 508XG's PQ for $8k?

i dun rep desaHT but fyi can get better than that price for New set from my sales guy at desaHT..

re PQ, think if you wait a couple months.. i think by then there may be some models challenging the 508XG.. but owning a kuro for namesake, think that is irreplaceable.. thought of the panny P50V11 before pioneer krp500.. unfortunately, that one you have to smuggle from singapore la.. panny not bringing into malaysia.. panny's p54z1 is in malaysia BUT its too expensive.. 19k vs 12k..
