How do you all find the signal strength of the Panasonic remote? I have to point the remote directly to the TV to work. I know this is IR and I should point it directly to the IR sensor on the TV. But Astro decoder remote definitely have a better IR strength. I can point the remote to the ceiling or even to my back and able to work. Reason is my father put a lot of stuff on the TV cabinet and the TV just mounted a bit higher on the wall and those stuff blocks the IR line of sight if I were to press the remote on the coffee table. I have to hold the remote higher to get it work.

15 ft no problema

can any1 here recommend me for 40/42inch TV?
LCD or LED or Plasma better?

what i have in my mind now is this == > VIERA TH-P42U30K

any1 know the price for this and hows the performance?

hye. i just bought th-px50u20k . the problem now after 4 hours turn on the screen suddenly turn to pink colour, is this normal? because i need to turn off then on back and it back to normal.

I've just purchase Panasonic TH-P42X30K 42" Plasma for RM 1850. But then just now saw in Lowyat, they are selling it for RM 1588, feels like i was cheated

I seen this too for a few occasion on 50VT20K. Can't recall how I get this. Seems like this happened after I switch around with the input source. However, this pink color screen always come from Astro Byond decoder. The color went back to normal after I reset either the TV or the Astro decoder. Not really sure if the source is causing this.

Thats why the best is to do some homework and survey 1st before buy..

ya.. i get my 42" U series still got change with tat price.. Anyway retail for X series is 1999. u still get cheaper..

RM15xx is P42X28.

RM17xx is P42X30.

Yep quite a surprice also.

Plasma HD Ready TH-P42X30K RM 1588.00 inclusive delivery and setting up...Super Low Price!! FOC HDMI cable ver 1.4

Why the price keep falling?

LG LED at carrfour 2199 -.-" 42"

too much competition i think. now ppl choose between LED and Plasma mostly... LCD ?

LED is also LCD lah , both using backlight technology except LED's LCD is brighter and with improvement on panels , much sharper images but less natural than Plasmas.

under controlled ambience , high end Plasmas has better detail in PQ as well.

any comments on the new model of Plasma TV ..

Panasonic TH-P50U30k ? what is the lowest price ?

heard from Legend, the v series already obselete.....

i using th-42U30k, anyone know could i plug in external 2.5 hdd direct to plasma tv, i mean plug and play movie , music or pic?

I think should be able to do so. Saw the sales guy at Harvey Norman demo by pluggin in his external usb hard disk with alot of "ahem" HD movies into P42U30K and the other Panasonic 42" 3D dunno what model.. both can work..

Only certain file format are supported. I have tested VT with avi. Both rmvb and mkv are not supported. Better check with the particular model specifications.

Added on May 19, 2011, 1:56 pmWhats the supported resolution on the panny D-sub DB15 VGA PC input interface? I failed to get it to display in full HD.
With the TV switched to PC Input, I cant find the matching audio input to run concurrently. Did panny purposely left out the audio input functionality when we use the PC input?

V series obsolete? i tot it is higher range than U series..i saw the image is pretty nice and bright.. by the way..having 50U lying at my house.

The supported resolutions thru VGA PC input are listed in your manual.

The VGA connection is just for video (no audio). Do you have a separate audio output port from your PC? If yes, you will need to connect this to your home theater/separate speakers.

Alternatively, if your PC supports HDMI output (for both video and audio), then you should just use HDMI connection to the TV.

My TV is 23 feet away, and when I point the remote 90degree away from TV, it works fine, and point to top, almost 150 degree, and it works fine
