Since they aren't bringing in the S20 series to Malaysia, what do you guys think would be a good alternative for a budget FullHD 42" Plasma?

If I am not mistaken, the U series is actually full HD, but it only comes in the size of 50". As of the price & avaibility, Panasonic will only make thier big announcement 2 weeks from now.

I have in fact brought x28 from seng Heng yesterday for RM 2399 + free wall bracket. Since I am using their plus one credit card, the set comes with extra 2 years warranty, and 2% rebate to my credit card (& free 24 months installment). I guess I have quite a good deal here.

Actually I prefer full HD model U series, so the sales man agreed to let me exchange to U series as long as I have not take delivery.  So dear forumer, please let me know if you have first hand information on the U series.

Thanks in advance.

I read a couple of posts before this that the U series will come in 2 sizes, 46" and 50". So I guess the only "entry-level" full HD plasma from panasonic will be the U series. Wonder how much it will cost.....

If you guys want to have a preview of the Flagship Panasonic VT20 50", can check it out at Best Denki ( next to Burger King ) in Mid Valley. The 3d looks better to me than the Samsung 7000. Today they were showing Blood Diamonds in 2D.

I though VT25 is flagship.  Since when VT20 become flagship?  blink.gif

The VT25 is the flagship in the US market. In Europe and in Asia, Panasonic market it as the VT20.

Samsung bdp1600 need to enable 24p playback. Then you have to play a 24p source (can be from mkv/avi from USB, not necessarily from bluray/DVD). Your TV will display 1080p/24.

On a separate matter, some personal feedback, guys.  I don't want to oversell but you should try out some kind of professional calibration. It actually does make quite a significant improvement on overall PQ.

Agreed. Calibration does make a noticeable difference for me too, anfieldude does great calibration on tvs. smile.gif

Are there any such problems with the Kuros?

I think this 'feature' only affects the last 3 generations (or so ) of Panasonic Plasmas.
