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...
thanks for ur lengthy info.... decided to bite the bullet and order 42v20 from kevin. Hoping for the best!!!
