Since the KRP500 now is abt RM12,000, is it more worth it to buy this than the Panasonic 50 inch S10 replacement?

It worths every cents if you want the unmatched PQ and quality.
By the way, I don't see there is a need for a dedicated thread for this question.

Depending on who is answering the question.

For those who truly appreciate picture quality, it would be worth every sen. IMHO, the Kuro still holds the 'Title' for the best PQ.

Those who is looking for performance over money or plain calculative, might think that getting 2 Pannys would be better since the performance is not that 'distinct' to them.

I agree 100% with htkaki and ronaldjoe. They're awesome. So good that I bought two units. You won't regret it!

I agree, for the sheer size, projectors are pretty awesome...however, black levels are not. So if u r a black level freak, at the moment, the plasmas are the thing. When OLEDs do come out, they will be the thing. For most other people, the good old LCD is more than enuf..

Projectors seems better bang for the buck but it has its own disadvantages too. Need total light control. Have to worry about lamp failure and dimming with age. More prone to dead pixels, and you really need a dedicated room for it. You also need to know about throw distance.

IMHO, black level cannot replicate the awesomeness of large screen effect.. tongue.gif

with normal 42-50inch plasma you are still reminded you watching TV.. of course that's why anfielddude got a huge 60incher
