IMO, to complain is definitely right , thumbup.gif but have to hope the 'voice' goes into the right side of ears & doesnt come out from the other side. nod.gif

In the other hand, to boycott the brand is not totally wrong too.. Let's look at this the other way,boys.. hmm.gif i rmb the time when ppl didnt even wanna mention Philips for a certain period & how Philips grew through the times with its' Pixel Plus. It may not be the best LCD ( to each his own) , but honestly, i was awed by the Pixel Plus good PQ & audio at that time. ohmy.gif shocking.gif It seems to me like most brands are growing, except Panny .. Maybe too snobbish to improve because of its' consistent market share, perhaps? cool2.gif The price is dropping though , but sadly , the quality is dropping as well.. cry.gif

Anyway, juz my 2cents , no offense meant. icon_rolleyes.gif

Hi guys is Panasonic viera th-p42x28k a good buy?

I saw a place selling at RM2200 only.

i thought RM2599 can get with a Panny 5.1 home theatre some more ?? a satelite speakers one of cuz.


QUOTE(Matrix @ Jun 17 2010, 09:29 AM)
Yes, Pixel Plus was amazing in the CRT era...definitely best of class. But they didn't made the same impact when it comes to LCD.
*
that, my bro,depends on how we play with our toys, i couldnt believe my eyes at first too.Depends on the salesperson too, the one i met explained & demo to me few hours(few trips to his shop some more,next to my office,hehe),not on contrast or crystal clear or vibrant colors pics , but on 'missing details' part. Till now i couldnt understand why Philips are able to capture 'missing details' when others couldnt (comparing same range) & yet Philips contrast,color & stuffs are far more 'laoya' than others.. rclxub.gif
It's beyond words,only believable when we see it with our own eyes.At that moment,i was wondering how on earth could i missed this part when it was juz in front of my eyes?. shocking.gif (i didnt buy though,owned other brand alrdy!)haha! laugh.gif . But honestly,the current Philips are not better than 2009 models, sad~~ sad.gif

To me,the salesperson's real important,bcuz they spent hours in front of those babies. Specs & reviews can help us a lil' but may not be true after all. Standing in front of the screen at roadshows & showrooms for a short period of time only indirectly leads us to buy what the shop is trying to sell(with the best output source only on what they wanna sell of course!).There arent many shops who'll really use same source for each brand comparing side by side.I m glad the one i met did,allowing me to adjust whatever i want on each available brand ( fair at least ). thumbup.gif

Juz sharing , another 2cts..

Current best price (I know of) for 42V20 is about RM4,500-RM4,600 for TV only.

Whether good or not, you will have to see for yourself. I absolutely love it.

bought a TH-P50X20K yesterday for RM34xx and 5 years warranty and it says at the back that it's also made in Singapore... why ah? made there better ka?

quality wise i dont know , but definitely cheaper.. Fren said sets brought in from S'pore can claim warranty here alrdy (not sure tho').. Heard that Panny cant do anythg altho' some local dealer complained bout other dealers are throwing crazy low prices (lower than their local cost!). Since all sets are made in S'pore,seems like Panny M'sia havent come out with a solution yet..which is also why we still see all those super low price Panny around.. brows.gif hehehe.. But on how they brought in,we dont know loOo.. whistling.gif

went to hunt for my new TV.  Saw a 46" at senq for 2799 which i think is a good deal.  now, i am in a dilemma.  Apparently, u can get the 50" for 3400 according to one forummer.

I saw this 46" A66 LCD discontinued Sharp model selling for 3550, and the toshiba regza model also 46" for 3950(200hz), so, which one do u think is a better buy?

QUOTE(dasoulz @ Oct 4 2010, 03:29 PM)
Guys, need to convince my wife on the power usage of 50v. I love this 50v to max but she prefers LED lit TVs cause her main concern is power. On this website's review (http://www.flatpanelshd.com/review.php?subaction=showfull&id=1279623234) it says about 200w and in Pana's website, it says 415 W. May i know which is more accurate? When i went to HomeDec and the Panasonic seller said the power consumption for plasma is not that bad cause the blacks on plasma does not emit any energy (thus, no electric usage). Only color-ed ones will. For LCD/LED, be it black or other colours, it will emit colours (thus, electric). from what i see, LED takes about 100-120w. If what Pana's website mentioned is true, then it is like 3-4 times the amount, which is crazily alot. hope you guys can enlighten me on this. Thanks.
*
IMHO , i think it's quite true that plasma power consumption's a lot more than L.E.D.. U can feel the heat emitting from it juz by standing right next to it, sweat.gif where as LED , less heat emitted. If u really like the 50V so much , buy ur wife a power saver adaptor ,hehe.. Saves up to 40% i heard after installing it.

My 2cts.. icon_rolleyes.gif

the heat is not a lot more than a large LCD. maybe 20-30% more compared similar LCD size. for the power consumption, well you're paying for the picture quality. if you don't mind spending a portion of your electricity bill for air-conditioning, the extra you're paying for plasma (compared to similar size LED) is well worth it.

kindda hard to convince the home minister to go for plasma just by demo-ing in the showroom as LED have a clear advantage in bright showroom conditions.
*
Perhaps the extra 20-30% is enough to make bro dasoulz wife giving up on plasmas sad.gif ..True tho' for the bright showroom advantages for LED, LCD as well..

I'm found some shop selling model TH-P42X28K at Kuantan around RM1999 - RM2199...

Even Panasonic dealers also selling

Mega Pertama Electronics Trading - RM2199

Syarikat Wei Heng Letrik Sdn Bhd - RM1999

For extended warranty 3 years - RM250

Anybody know at Kuantan which shop selling more cheaper than that price?

At KL found some shop selling RM1949, isn't worth to travelling because that price?

If u can get RM1999 in Kuantan , i dont think it's worth it to travel to KL. Service pun susah, unless that KL shop got branch at kuantan..my 2cts.

Cool! Nice to know that. I'm not too concern about about the extended warranty though. Please PM me when you have more details.  thumbup.gif

Hi Token,

Yes, not too concerned about the extended warranty....by the time such warranty expires....tech may have moved on already...
*
True too.. To me,extended warranty is important,as my cousin had spent almost RM2k repairing his Sammy LCD,panel prob. It was still under warranty actually,2nd yr, as he'd bought extended warranty too.But when he went back to the shop,lots of reasons given saying the set can't claim warranty! Trust me, he'd tried every source & info he could,but at the end of the day, only $ can solve the issue. mad.gif Dark shadow cast over warranty issues ever since,to me & him. But , I cant help but to agree that u'd got the point right too, hmm.gif "Tech moved on by the time warranty expires"..Good one,bros. Think if our plasma/lcd aint too pricey or if we are those new-tech-chasers ,perhaps extended warranty issues aint such a big concern afterall. Thanx for enlightening! nod.gif Hopefully we can get the real NETT price for this 42X28. Cheers!

So will your guys extend the warranty as well?
Since there are so many loop hole in the warranty issue.....

My mom told me that no point of extend the warranty....
But i notice with the LAN port higher chance will hit by lightning whereas warranty wise will be hectic...

Im looking at this modelactually... biggrin.gif
*
In my humble opinion , I'll depend on how much i spent for my screen , if aint too pricey , then i dont think it's necessary. Not that warranty arent important, but perhaps I'll only go for the original warranty provided by the manufacturer without buying extended,for me 2yrs is good enough.Like bro jcetham mentioned; [by the time such warranty expires....tech may have moved on already...]..Imagine how much will a 42"plama cost us after 2yrs.. hmm.gif If the set rosak,then it's time to change it.
