HDTV and these High Definition program is a marriage made in heaven.

Need some advise from the sifus here.

The 50u30k is selling for RM3250 and a LYN seller is selling the 42gt20k for RM3400.

Which should I choose?

Sorry to say this but IMO, size does matter when it comes to TV.

42GT20K will have a much better AR filter. If your plasma is located in a slightly bright place, the 50U30K glass may have quite a bit of reflection which may in turn be very distracting, not to mention affect the PQ a bit.

If your plasma is in a controlled lighting area, then by all means go for the bigger screen.

Size does matter as the joy of watching bigger screen is beyond description especially if watching full screen concerts.
42" is way too small and for the mentioned price, I'll go for 50". Usually you upgrade from 42" to 50".
I've been watching my 50u20k for a year now and do not find reflectiveness an issue.
Now 50" is a bit small and still think of upgrading to a bigger screen i.e. Pana 65" / Sammy 65" where both come with 3D.

Hope you do not get con by the price of RM3,250 for a 50u30k???

PQ is important too . i've own a HD ready 50" before but i enjoy more the 42/V20 .

due to continuing falling prices ,there's no reason not to own a mid range to high end models from now although affordability and sitting/sleeping distance to TV screen ought to be taken into account.

summore 42gt20k can watch 3d, if u need this function, then shud go for this model

Ops gave wrong info pulak. 50U30K at RM4250, 50X30K at RM3250 and 50X20K at RM2700.

Keke enjoyed your sarcasm though. Thanks for pointing out. ;-)

Added on May 6, 2011, 6:37 pmMy parents are having this 50U20K. And I can tell you the reflective screen of this model is definitely an issue. Some members here even referred this model as the mirror tv. Maybe if u always watch tv at night and minimal lighting then it wouldn't be irritating la.

Not sure whether it's true or not. But when I look at 50U30K's screen, it doesn't look that reflective anymore. Maybe Panasonic has done some improvement after receiving so many complaints about it

Anyone know how to remove the programme number / astro HD / logo on the Display?
Thanks

Kid from sunway, u should ask at ASTRO BEYOND THREAD

Bruder, I am asking whether there is a function within the Pana plasma to remove such logos to prevent burnt in.
I recall my Sony LCD has one.
I am unable to locate the function with the Pana remote.

I can't find also... my other lg has the white wash function.

Wow really got such feature? I thought the Astro logo comes from the source feed? Can the tv itself removes them?

Using the zoom function is one way to hide it.
Just checking wthether pana has other function.

Sorry bro,misunderstood

No worries, bro, I am still learning the pana controls.

This is what I see from the Operating Instruction:
Menu->Setup->Display Settings->Side Panel
Increases the brightness of the side panel (Off/Low/Mid/High)
The recommended setting is "High" to prevent panel "image retention"

just got my vt20 6 hours ago. Should I set the picture to ciname mode or true cinema mode for the 1st 200 hours

thanks

Any news on the VT30 pricing?

Congrats! You bought it from Homedec last week?
