anfieldude and others,

Looking at the US Viera website, it seems that 2011 Viera models will be mostly all 3D TVs. I wonder what will be the replacement for the current V50. Is it the S series? That would be a drastic drop then in specs.

Or does it mean that the current V50 will the last non-3D model in this range?

The reason I asked is that I dont require 3D, at least not at the current price range. If the prices of 3D TVs can come down to 5k then I will consider it. But at the above 10k price range, I cant afford that and the V50 would be the next best thing in my price range. But looking at 2011 lineup, everything has gone 3D - now what? Will the price come down drastically enough to afford one or should I grab the current V50.

What are your thoughts on this? Thanks in advance

2011's G series seems to be 3D too

Just bought p42v20k(RM2550). The price just dropped recently (1~2 weeks ago), should be in 2.6k~ 2.8k. Many shops still not update their price yet.. You should ask properly..

The research i done, the previous price should be from 4k++ > 3.5k > now is 2.6~2.8++.

Previously, i'm also wanna buy LCD/LED but after the promoter introduce me plasma,
LCD, I changed my mind. What i listened from promoter that when you look at LED TV,  there is sticker sticked with term "LED LCD TV" instead of showing "LED TV". This mean this is LCD-based with adding a LED light panel as an ADD-on. Like a hybrid version of LCD TV.  so I drop my mind on LED. I don't know much about LED TV..U may go and look for wikipedia (just a comment, correct me if i'm wrong)

As for LCD, u better try to press on the screen see whether a big water wave come out. If yes, the LCD used single layer for screen (unreliable if ur home kids keep pressing on the screen hardly). (Unsure!! told by promoter). I ask him why some LCD cost 999 only... so this is the reason...(of course included lack of HDMI & other features). Good luck...

Hi there,

Can pm me about where you have brought your p42v20k at such price? I actually looking 50" V20k, if the price been drop so much, i wonder how much is the p50v20k now?

Thanks in advance for the info.

same here..kindly let me know the shop too (hopefully they are in PJ/Puchong area)..

I just bought 50V20K right b4 CNY @ RM4,999.00. Browsed Best Denki website and called to each branch for ex-stock. Also bought the Netgear USB WIFI adaptor [this one bought at higher price coz most PC shops no more carry Netgear products nowadays due to after sales service issue but i manage to contact one of the local distributor in Seksyen 13]. My wife and kids now watch Youtube with ease via Unifi..

Hi, I also just bought the 50V20K today, but was told that I can only use the USB WiFi adapter from Panasonic, is it true? 

I was quoted RM299/= for the USB WiFi adapter from Panasonic, but I yet to buy, coz was told that the shop did not carry the USB WiFi adapter and have to buy from Panasonic service center.

You mentioned that u bought the Netgear USB WiFi adapter, is that mean it can be use with the 50V20K?  If yes, do u mind to share how much is the Netgear USB WiFi adaptor?  Btw, beside Netgear, can I use any USB WiFi adapter?

Thank you
