The ST, albeit a lower end of the range, is 3D capable tv compared to the V. I'd be pleasantly surprised if it starts at a V price.

Doubt very much if you are able to get a full HD Plasma for less then 2k.
Pana P42X28 (HD ready) is retailing for 1750.
Pana's full HD are all above 2k

Totally agree.

I bought panasonic LED l42d22k with a samsung DVD player for rm2750, good deal?

got poisoned by TH-P42V20k!! is this the cheapest model that comes with LAN for DNLA?

I have a noobish question about my VIERA TH-P46X20K.

I noticed when watching movies from my pc, the backlight flickers on and off during dark scenes making the picture look horribly grey.

Is there something wrong with my TV or is there a setting I can change to make this not happen?

How about when you played it on the PC LCD monitor? Do you also see the flickering? This is to eliminate source problem.

It could be the infamous floating black issue which is noticeable when you watch it in a dim environment.

Best to call in Panasonic support to eliminate faulty hardware issues e.g. backlight.

Been researching the Pana 42" Plasma TH-P42V20k ... saw today in Best Denki at 3499 but just see here a few posts saying you can find for RM 2499. Can anyone tell me where I can buy at the lower price. Not display model and has full warranty? Also, one more question about the V20 ... Does it have 1:1 pixel mapping?
Thanks for all your advice
OM

Thanks for the reply boss. Ruled out the source so it definitely seems like a floating black issue. Anyone else with the same model TV with this problem?

Does the V series plasma have this famous floating black issue?

All 2010 Panny plasma models have been reported to suffer from this. Some people can notice it clearly. Some don't.

Anfieldude did post something earlier that can alleviate the problem slightly by lowering the brightness setting. Would appreciate if he can remind us again the details.

wow, then RM2499 42" V series still worth it? or wait for 2011 version? as far as I know, I feel that 2011 will be coming very soon. The price drop out there is huge.

I think this is the cheapest model from Pana at the moment

2011 higher end models may be launch later due to tsunami . my condolence and compassion to those affected.

the world still need japanese made electronics. simply better than the rest

V series made in Japan? I guess it'll be delayed too. My condolences.

Made in Singapore but the components probably imported from Japan

V series' panel made in JP.

asked a shop around my place

42v20k price RM2480

good deal?

I sokong.... i too like the color, and it fits well with my blue wall or for that matter would suit well any colored wall.

But then not everyone has the same taste i presume....

what brand u all recommend now for 2k+-
