Got my L42S10K for RM2499 with 3 years Panasonic standard warranty last week (register online) - to me Panasonic gives more natural picture - dont believe all those color management, whatever technology thingy - as long as the skin tone of the actors is what it should be and the picture is sharp then thats the best way to watch - I find the other brands depend on a lot of confusing terms to hide the fact that a picture should be as close to natural as it can be.
