Hi Bros,

I have been reading this thread and is really informative. Have a question though.

I have a 50x set and was reading somewhere in this thread that there is a A-I Sound Option that can tune down the sudden sound spike (like those annoying ads) but was not sure whether the feature is in X Series or V series. I have been search high and low in the manual as well as in the forum (unfortunately the thread is 135 pages long and Lowyat.net doesn't seem to support page specific search). Would appreciate if someone can enlight me on this.

Thanks in advance.

Guys, for P50U, do you guys use those settings like P-NR ?

Also, there's so many power savings option like Eco Mode, Auto Standby, I read the manual but no idea what it does, any one care to explain?

If I am not mistaken, I think:

- the P-NR claims to help improve PQ by reducing noise and flicker (I tried but unable to see differences)
- Eco-mode is actually dynamic contrast (brightness depends on the ambient lighting).
- Auto standby is basically telling the TV to auto-sleep when there is no change (eg channel/input change) for the selected time

Normally advised to turn off Eco mode because it messes with the PQ.

Just saw Panasonic 50V going for RM5,699 @ Best Denki.

Planning to get Sony E970W with it.

Can Sony E970W Blu-Ray player play MKV files via USB?

Saw in the newspaper a Panasonic sale package for U20K, X20K but NO V20K ! Same thing in their package a few months ago. Why no special offer for V20K ? Selling too well ?

If you're thinking of buying, just go ahead. No need to think for so long. Else you might not even get enjoy the new TV if it's phased out or replaced with new model.

wat's the latest best price for U20K & X20K in penang?

any1 care to share?

What kind of sale package?

I wanna know it too

just now saw U20k at gurney plaza, cost RM3599 about
so I think shop outside will more cheap

Just bought a 50U20K at Jusco Queensbay Mall an hour ago.

RM3799 + RM303.92 (3 Years Extended Warranty) = RM4103.90 (Total of 5 Years Warranty)

Since today is Jusco member day, I get RM410 voucher rebate (RM10 for every RM100 spent), so basically I'm paying around RM3700 for my unit. Quite a good deal to me if you ask me.

There was another roadshow display by Panasonic at the center zone as well, RM3899 inclusive of 5 Years Warranty but I opted for the Jusco package instead because of the voucher and nearly RM200 cheaper.

As my unit will only be delivered to my house this Sunday, I'd like to ask the sifu's here if there's anything that I need to watch out during the early stage. I'm a bit concern of the potential burn mark though as my family be watching Astro SD mainly for the time being before I subscribe to Astro Beyond and getting Blu-Ray at a later time.

The new line of Viera Plasmas has been announced in CES 2011. VT30, GT30 & ST30.
How soon do you guys think they will reach our shores & will we see further price drops for the 2010 models?

2010 models r limited in stock. Panny moved to production of 2011 models slightly earlier last year....So don't be surprised if some 2010 start disappearing early, my gut feeling is the v series and u series.

mean the v series will phased out soon?
was planning to get it...still doubt whether to go plasma or led...

From what I learned, the initial 200 -250 hours run more risk of burn in. After break in, less of a problem.

To accelerate break in, I reckon the fastest & safest way to do it is to:
1. Download break in slide from Internet
2. Copy those slides into a SD card
3. Utilize 50U's own SD card reader to read slide and leave it on continuously for 200 hrs.

hey...i can get the netgear WNDA3100 from China for RM100...anyone interested pls PM me asap...thx

guys i got a quote from commontan P50U for 3.4k Cash n Carry @ butterworth

"production of 2011 models slightly earlier last year" will translate into an earlier release this year? earlier then the customary April/May you think? been holding off on pulling the trigger for the P50V20. I'm sure Pana would try to release their 2011 line about the same, if not earlier then the other big boys (Sammy, LG, Sony, etc) to capture the bigger slice of the market.

I believe so but I'm not sure of the allocation between Asia and the rest of the world. Typically US gets it 1st then the rest.
