the price for plasma & lcd TVs are really dropping like no one's business

thank god i just sold my X10 last month for 2.2k
else I'll be rugi sial after the launch of new model
and thank god again I didn't buy the S10 model at RM2500 last week on impulse
else i'll be hitting my head on the wall now

with the 42" X series can go down until RM2099 (without freebies of cos), then the S series should be around RM2.5k region

i'm interested to see how's the new viera cast perform too
too bad the X series doesn't have it
after X is C series?
I suspect the C series is the one with viera cast but only HD ready, as I remember I read somewhere there's going to be 2 lines of HD ready plasmas.

'09 models are C, X, S, G in sequence as in features & pricing

'10 model starts with X or C?

was looking for a 42" fullHD plasma, was hoping they'll bring in S20 series

but crap... no new S20 for M'sia market, V series will be too expensive for me I guess...

I guess I'll settle for the old S10 then, time to squeeze my supplier for cheaper S10 (last he quoted me 2.5k b4 the announcement of the new viera line)

panny panny... seems like this time you've disappointed lots of your fans, me included

bought the previous 2 gen of panny plasma, pv series & the x series
than i thought of upgrade to current gen of S fullHD series... mana tahu.. TARAK!!!

Panny!! I'm gonna defect camp already

IMO, u won't see much differences between the two if you're watching astro only

somemore comparing S-video cable with normal composite cable, you can see the difference clearly, nothing to do with TV model

btw, Monster cable? why spend so much on a hyped overpriced cable? a cheap jalan pasar S-video cable will do the job nicely, and you'll harly see the differences

ask your brothers to change the cable to S-video at least, then they won't regret it already

A28 is just with the so called better audio
paying 1 or 2 hundred extra just for the better built-in audio I dun think it's worth it...

i'm getting a X28 too

Just obtained the 42" X28 price from Haw Electrical in Kuching
best price RM2150 cash, free delivery & Free Ori Panny HDMI cable

so far that's the best price I gotten in Kuching

Now pending home minister's approval for purchase

just gotten my 42" X28 plasma yesterday for RM2050 including delivery, free panasonic HDMI cable and panasonic vacuum food container set
I add on RM250 for 3 years extended warranty, so total damage = RM2300

Bought from Haw Electronic @ 5th mile, Kuching

Cheapest Deal in Kuching already anyone interested can go there look for Kenny.

after using my P42X28 for 1 week++, and comparing to my past 2 gen of Panny 42" plasma (PX70 & X10)
I would say I'm very disappointed with this latest gen of Panny HD-ready plasma TV

First, the audio sucks big time, even my 3 years old PX70 has better clarity than this X28, the best is still X10

Second, the panel... feels like its inferior to the X10, but slightly better than the PX70... I play X360 games mostly on all three, and i notice some "image retention" on the X28, especially on those scene with bright items then switched to a black/dark background, you still can see the white/grey spots on the dark/black background where the bright item used to be
most obvious when watching the credit of a movie/game
I don't notice these "defects" on my PX70 and X10

Third, I can set a user-define name for my AV inputs on X10, eg: HDMI1 as XBOX360, HDMI2 as PS3, these features are gone in the X28!!

Fourth, less features comparing to X10, X10 can play AVCHD, X28 removed the feature

in Overall comparison, excluding price, I would rate X10 as top, PX70 as second, and X28 as the worst


gonna get a Sony soundbar to replace the horrible build-in speaker

PX70 around RM4.5k about 2.5 years ago
X10 around RM2788 with the free digicam about 1 year ago
X28 RM2050 less than 2 weeks ago
All Kuching price except X10 which i bought from Jusco Sunway during JCard Day

btw, X10 gave me 3 years warranty by default, X28 only gave me 2 years, but i bought extra 3 years warranty for RM250

Oh yeah... i feel the X28's screen is much more reflective compared to the x10 and PX70

Ic ic... the sifu has spoken
but I wasn't running it on dynamic or high contrast mode, i only use either the default normal or game mode

will wait n see after 1 or 2 weeks of usage, see if the image retention still haunt me or not
