so in the end you went with a 50X and not a 50V?

the moving line is to show the advantage of the V20K. to justify the premium to an average joe.
if i were you i'd get the P50U. no competition compared to the 46X. that is if you have the budget.

and about the LCD or plasma, do get the plasma if you're not particularly concerned about non-existent issue

i went to lowyat yesterday. spent 15 minutes at the fair. didn't see any 3D deals that you were talking about. RM4399 is for the P50U20K. which is selling for below RM3.5k outside.
they were playing miami vice if i remember correctly. and true to my memory, the P50U is damn reflective. then sent my wife to IKEA and spent an hour at harvey norman ikano watching P42V20K, P50V20K, P50U20K, PS42C430, PS42C450, PS50C450 and PC50C6500 side by side.

just reassuring myself that i made a wise decision to go with the anti-reflection coating.
and spent 20 minutes in the demo room hearing the HN salesman talking crap about their Pioneer LX72 with Infinity speakers. they were playing me Ip Man BD china ciplak DVD (whatever that means) that are said to be 90% near BD quality. yeah like i don't have the bd at home.

all the models are running on different settings. and the samsungs are playing different source compared to the pannys. and i don't have the remote. in which if i were to do a side by sde comparison, i'd asked the salesman to bring me all the remotes and leave me be.
which i've already did when i purchased my set.

comparing on the different sets running on different settings and sources yesterday, i'd say the best PQ is from the Samsung PS42C430. yeah a series 4 720p 42" Plasma TV. not even the latest model. they were playing some kind of samsung demo BD with Indycar racing on it.
so i were to trust my eyes just from the viewing yesterday, i would've said some nice things about the 42" C430 and praised it to heaven.

but i knew better. no comparison can be made with the sets not running in the same mode and playing the same source.

to improve contrast ratio?

i dunno about others, but i rate c6500 below v20

have you even read my posts before this? i've already written my opinion in your previous question.

i am talking about the features which are important to me. so what i rate may not reflect other people's opinion. things like mkv playback capability of the c6500 means jack to me, and things like the 2 isf pro mode of the v20 means everything. PQ is more or less the same. i've never seen a v20 after calibration so i wouldn't know the exact capability of the v20.

and i rate the AR coating above everything else. u20k didn't have it. deal breaker.

so much for japanese quality

if you watch this thread closely you're gonna catch quite a few forumer posting various problem with their set that ultimately required a warranty claim. it's been happening quite frequently even with the venerable v20

the non 3D model loses the inifinite black panels

the GT30 is a 3D plasma. with the current pricing that panasonic is implementing for their malaysian set, hard to believe a 3D capable GT30 would come close to the (current) non 3D capable V20.
i reckon the current 50" VT20 is selling for how much currently? RM15k? sounds like impossible for another 50" 3D capable set to sell at 1/3 of the current price.

another reason to quickly buy the v20 before it goes out of stock

demmit it goes under RM5k. frekking cheap! anyone wanting to get a unit now is the time.

precisely!
if best denki could quote that kind of price, maybe outside shops could quote even lower.

make sure you check the panel hours. just in case

can we expect the 50" V20K to be under RM4k since the 42" dropped so much?
RM4k is a huge bargain considering as to how much it was selling before this.

if i were you, i'd jump on the gun already. in 1-2 weeks time there's a good possibility that there's no more selling already.

wow dropped so much sure heartache for those that paid a premium for the same model a few month back.

mind sharing how much?
