What are you looking for them to address? A specific press release for Malaysian sets?

@jitbeng,  many thanks for the initiative. Good petition email. 

@thena123, I understand that Panasonic has a class action against it in the US on the rising black issue. No more public statements on the issue until the case is over.

If that is your main concern, then the only advice I can give you is to steer clear of Panasonic plasma TVs for the time being until more verifications can be obtained.

I don't think Panasonic is going to shoot itself further in the foot by issuing more statements that can be harmful to its sales ("it is by design" )

Personally, I feel the rising black problem is more of perception and expectations. I don't remember if they ever used "infinity black" as a marketing tagline in Malaysia?

Add another RM1200 and get U50 with free blu-ray

The only price we know of at this time is RM5299 FOC BD player, digital photo frame and HDMI cable

These are the indicative pricing that I was told today.

TH-P42X28 - RM2350 (5yr warranty) / RM2050 (2yr warranty)
TH-P50X28 - RM3900 (5yr warranty)/ RM3600 (2yr warranty)
TH-P50U28 + BD45 - RM4400 (intro price, limited units) (2yr warranty) / RM4700 (5yr warranty) [after intro units are gone RRP is RM5299 + BD45]. The list price for the BD45 is supposed to be RM800.

Pls don't PM me and ask where to get these. I was told that these were prices u can get. Check around the usual suspects. I believe u can knock off further RM50 - 200 depending on which one.

Both 50in units are in stock this weekend. I don't have pricing on the V series yet.

At Homedec, price was RM4999 with BD player + HDMI cable + digital photo frame

Forumer iamsobloodysick offered RM4799 (should come with same freebies but not sure).

just asked the price for pana 50u just now.. i was quoted 4.5k with 2 years warranty, if want to add another 2 years must add around 200++..

now have to wait for the exact price for samsung c650.. hopefully will be less than 5k.. haha.. then only decide which one to choose..

No more guessing!

Latest news:
P46U20 - RM3,300 (availability - didn't hear anything)
P50U20 - RM4,200 (should be available in certain shops only)

P42V20 - RM4,400 - RM4,600 (availability - maybe next month)
P50V20 - RM5,800 (available next week)

Above prices / availability are what i have heard / gathered and may be the same pricing as quoted above or slightly higher as it depends on your bargaining power / negotiation skills.
NO other sizes except for those mentioned above
NO free gifts (that's a good comparison across the board)
Prices will differ once you ask for HDMI cable / BD player

DMR-BD45 - RM940 - RM999

SC-BT230 - RM1,800 - RM2,000

Wall Bracket plus installation - RM350 (cartel pricing)

You are lucky if you see the black levels of U and V are the same. For most of us, V is much more superior. Save your money and buy the U

hi everyone, i'm planning to get the Panasonic 42" LCD TH-L42U29K. the price now is really cheap only rm2200.

i just want to find out what are the negative points that this model carries?

I got it RM3699....

Kevin selling around RM3780.

Just comeback from One Utama...not worth to go overthere because it's promo from Best Denki...

p50u20k best denki selling rm5499 but free gift BD player 

I am just back from Kiasuland and the major dealers there HN & BD do not carry 50X20K at all. They claim that Panny have not launch the model yet. Maybe it is marketing strategy to sell only cheaper model to poor Malaysians. In this case no way our local dealers get 50X20K from down under dealers.

Anybody knows why our TV prices are higher than our neighour?

Tempted to buy one from there and carry over causeway. You say warranty still valid in Bolehland, right? I wonder have to pay tax?

FYI, I check and found 42V20 selling 1,499 in Kiasu dollar. That is more than RM 1k cheaper than Malaysia.
