yah I saw the display at Carrefour Tun Hussein Onn but the demo was blu-ray source - so dun main main - bring home play DVD and standard def tv series - die ... anyway i also saw the "made in singapore" logo plastered at the back of the panel.


just a quick question for all of you.. did you guys really overlooked the fact that Panasonic's 2010 models (non full HD models) have downgraded native resolution and lower black level in the form of gradation therefore cheaper price? The 2010 panels have 4,096 equivalent steps of gradation where as the 2009 equavalent models have 5,120 equivalent steps of gradation. The new models however have better pc signal support.

The gen 13, 2010 panels can support full hd pc signals. Meaning, if you connect your HTPC to it, your computer can detect the panel as full hd and allow you to set your computer resolution to full hd. My windows 7 only allow me to set my desktop to 720p as per my sharp LCD TV which is a 720p panel.

TAKE NOTE of the "Moving picture lines" difference between the FULL HD Neo plasma/ U model and 2009 model

Neo Plasma = 1080 lines = http://panasonic.com.my/web/pid/9237/Spec
U Full HD model = 900 lines = http://panasonic.com.my/web/pid/9238/Spec
2009 FULL HD model = 1080 lines = http://panasonic.com.my/web/pid/7941/Spec (VIERA TH-P50S10K)

so pick your poisons peeps.... i wonder how low 42" Neo plasma price will drop. 50" neo plasma - out of budget -- so peeps keep on buying the neo plasma models so that Panasonic and produce more - hence reduce the cost and pass the saving to consumers thanx

oh hopefully by the end of the year - the price of neo will be more affordable to allow peeps to guling guling on carpet playing xbox game in my Signature
