No 10% discount? Somebody better grab it.

Little bird told me there will not be a replacement model for the FullHD TH-P42S10K, in fact for the whole S series for 2010.

The only FullHD 42" model for 2010 will be the P42V20K with enhanced features (NeoPDP panel, etc) & will cost about RM5K & will be out end of next month.

The decision to buy or not is ultimately left to the consumer. After researching, observing, hearing, learning from others mistake etc etc he/she makes a informed decision to buy.

So if it happens, then report to the Consumer Tribunal, all the relevant gov departments, sue the fellow, even report to the police if applicable. I will do that if it happens to me & I have done it in the past a couple of times.

So if it does not happens, then sit back & enjoy lah"

It is the Consumer decision as I write in para 1. No one is force to buy. It is the Consumer who makes the FINAL decision & whether that decision is a good one or not, he/she is the one who makes the FINAL decision.

If you knew a particular car being sold often blew up or exploded, you would be scared to buy it, whether it happens or not.


Off course not. Like the girl will not cross the bridge knowing the dangers.

By the way bro, I think you may have contradicted yourself. In the first para you said "most consumers make informed decisions" & in the last para you said "most people are not informed consumers".

Thanks

Most consumers do not have the privilege of talking in forums, thus, not informed. That is not contradicting.

So, when the average consumer hears from the sales man everything he needs to know and is happy with it, what to do few months down the road, the black becomes grey?

How can the aveage consumer "see the future"?

I said "may have contradicted" not "have contradicted".

Anyway now I think you have contradicted yourself.

Who can "see the future" bro.

Thanks

There is no P42S28K for 2010. For that matter there is no S models for 2010.

If you are looking for a HD Ready model, take a look at the A & X series.

If you are looking for a FullHD model, take a look at the V series. The V series have a 42" FullHD.

Thanks

Bro I think your power of comprehension is a bit weak.

In this discussion, cross the bridge means:-
you have crossed it & finds that TV is turning Grey.

So what you do. Find a solution. This is what I said in my Post No:349 below:-

I think what "reddevil04" meant was why worry over a thing that might or might not happen. Only when it does happened then cross the bridge to find the [B]solution.
[/B]

What's the solution? What I said in Post No: 357 below:-

{The decision to buy or not is ultimately left to the consumer. After researching, observing, hearing, learning from others mistake etc etc he/she makes a informed decision to buy.



So if it happens, then report to the Consumer Tribunal, all the relevant gov departments, sue the fellow, even report to the police if applicable. I will do that if it happens to me & I have done it in the past a couple of times.

It is the Consumer decision as I write in para 1. No one is force to buy. It is the Consumer who makes the FINAL decision & whether that decision is a good one or not, he/she is the one who makes the FINAL decision.}

(My interpretation of "informed decision" in the above para in red is "the consumer is informed by researching, observing, hearing, learning from others mistake etc etc")


So "So it happens" in bold in one of the above para means the TV turned Grey.

Bro want to continue this kind of discussion until the cows come home?

Thanks

The 2009 42S10K is 550Hz sub-field yet it support 1080p.

Thanks

Now your comprehension is confirmed weak. And I guess you are an English teacher, no?

"you have crossed it & finds that TV is turning Grey"

The above is not meant to be a proper sentence. If it was meant to be a proper sentence I would have properly framed it. So are the others.

I also do not want to repeat again & again.

I was referring to my previous post where if you have to cross the bridge (makes an informed decision & it turns out to be a bad decision). That is you expect the TV black level to be sustainable but after a short period it turns grey.

Looks like you like this kind of discussion to carry on & on until the cows never come home. By all means bro. I have all the time in the world. Everyday is a holiday for me. As long as we keep to within the boundary of not offending each others character.

Anyway it's a good mental exercise for me.

Thanks

OK michaeltan1943. Peace to you also.

Thanks

I am glad to hear you are very happy with your TV. Hope you will enjoy it to the fullest.

I am using the P42S10K bought in Dec 2009. What I did was to set the brightness & contrast settings to 50 with eco mode off & watch whatever with these settings for the first 200 hours.

Exceeded 1000 hours already. So far no IR/Burn-In problem whatsoever. And also no deterioration in black level whatsoever. Black is as black as it can be. After watching for the day, will "wash" the screen for 30 mins (timer set) & to auto shut off.

Thanks

By eye. Off & on I will freeze the picture & compare the black colour of the picture on the screen with the black frame of the TV. With normal room lighting & dimmed lighting condition I see no difference before & after the 1000 hours. I do not watch in a completely dark environment as it is not practical for me.

After everything is said & done, the bottom line for me is that I am completely 110% satisfied with the performance of my TV.

Thanks

# Hold down the {VOL -} button ON THE PLASMA TV itself. Not Remote
# Press the {RECALL} button on the remote control 5 times.
# The Service Menu will be displayed.

# Use the {2} buttons to select "SRV-TOOL"
and press the {OK} button to access it.

# HIGHLIGHT the box on the right side of the last option: (Navigate by using the arrow buttons on the remote)
_______________________________________

PTCT :00.00.00.00.00

HIGHLIGHT HERE

# Then press and hold the {MUTE} button on the remote for 3 seconds.

TIME = Hours and Minutes of Operation.
COUNT = Times the Plasma was Powered On.

# To exit, press & hold the {POWER} button on the TV for few seconds.


The above for going into the service menu & checking the hour usage. Please be very careful when you go into the service menu.


What I do for "washing" is to press the TV button on the remote. Since I am using Astro, the outside TV aerial is not connected. So if you press the TV button on the remote, there will be no input signal to the TV. The screen will show a snowy picture. Set the Timer (max 90mins).

Thanks

Your settings looks good.

My settings now in Normal mode is, Contrast=Either 70 or 80, Brighness=40(-10), Colour=39, Colour Balance=Cool, Colour Management=Off, Sharpness=80 & PNR=min.
In Setup/Other Settings:- Intelligent Frame Creation=Off & Power Save=On

In the Picture Menu, Normal mode is for watching Astro (non-B'yond). 50% of the time

Cinema mode for watching DVD/BR. 5%

Game mode for Xbox 360. 10%

Dynamic mode for PC (Net surfing). 30%

Dynamic mode for PC (download movies/tv shows). 5%

All the modes above will have their own individual settings.

This is what I read in one review " Eco mode which adjusts the average picture level for max energy efficiency (surprising, it makes the image brighter rather darker)".

Yah! a bit strange the eco setting mode! My interpretation is there is a sensor near the on/off button. When eco mode is on it senses the surrounding lightning conditions in the daytime to be bright & therefore increases the brightness to compensates for it. So it is the reverse in the night.

So turn it off. The brightness will be the same for day & night. In my opinion it is better because you are in control.

Try to vary your viewing content.

I watch Astro, DVD/BR, downloaded movie/tv shows, play Xbox & surfing the Net. Practically all my AV is centered on the TV.

Thanks

It should be OK. I just did it myself to check.

The TV will turn off. Just turn it back on.

So far my hours usage:- 1,202:30

Thanks

Good for you & enjoy it to the fullest. Don't look back.

Thanks

Remembered I wrote to Panasonic appealing to bring in the replacement model for P42S10K in my previous post no. 265.

Well I got a reply from them. But I have promised them not to post it here because they don't allowed it & it's against their company policy.

There will not be a replacement model for the P42S10K for Asia unlike in USA where the P42S1 was replaced by the P42S2 & best of all, the S2 is cheaper.

Therefore for 2010 the only FullHD 42" Plasma TV will be the V20K with advanced features like the NeoPDP panel etc. Price around RM5K?

The P50U20K is the replacement for the P50S10K & should be around the same price.

Look like Panasonic is not replacing all the models & the replacements is also not cheaper. Maybe Panasonic is preparing the consumers for the 3D model which is expensive now for some consumers if not most of them. Have to wait a couple of years for price to drop.

Thanks

special price maybe?

Thanks

I don't think can change.

Better zoom in to avoid IR/BurnIn during breaking period.

But since I already Break-In (about 1,300hrs), no problem for me. Off & on use the Zoom. But when zoom the PQ will degrade slightly.

Thanks
