Hi guys, just now I went to PIKOM Digital Lifestyle and I saw this Panasonic Viera TH-P42U30K FULL HD Plasma TV and interested to buy it, but some questions arise in my head.
If I am going to use it as my Main monitor from my laptop and of course the TV function, any idea how much will it cost monthly (roughly) let say I use about 10 hrs a day?
And any of you guys using this Plasma TV? Any review on it? Price there was RM1799, any better price?
Thanks a lot, really hope you guys can help me to answer all this questions, as I'm very interested in it.

QUOTE(neb @ Jul 30 2011, 02:56 PM) Rated Power for p42u30k: 275 W = 0.275 KW power consumption per day: 0.275KW x 10 hour = 2.75KWh power consumption per month: 2.75KWh x 31 days = 85.25KWh electricity bill per month: 2.75KWh x 31 days x RM0.40 = RM34.10RM0.40 per KWh is just an average, tenaga rate ranging from RM0.218 to RM0.437 based on how many KWh you have already been used Thanks a lot for that bro highly appreciate it  |

QUOTE(anfieldude @ Jul 30 2011, 03:57 PM) I would advise against using a plasma as a computer monitor. While burn in is less of a problem these days, it is still a problem to consider if u r planning to leave static images on the display for long periods of time. If power consumption is a concern, I would go for a led backlit lcd instead. Thanks bro for the advice, I have some question, is burn in permanent? And from what I heard there are some company that sell Blu-Ray disc/DVD to help reduce the burn-in, is that true? Usually I use my computer to watch movies and video call (most of the time I spent using my laptop) and turn off the laptop if I don't use it. And about power consumption, I don't quite concern. Thanks in advance. This post has been edited by eRicK89: Jul 30 2011, 04:17 PM |

QUOTE(anfieldude @ Jul 30 2011, 04:36 PM) IR is temporary and part of the the way plasma works. Burn in is permanent. As long as proper preacaution is taken, u shd be ok, but if there are long static (with high contrast), ie windows bar, static images and the images come on at the same location in the display, use it long enuf, it can be a cause for concern. If u vary content and heed the advice, u shd be ok. And IR is? And from what I heard u need to reduce the contrast below 50% and the brightness too to reduce the chance of burn-in, is that true? And u said about the duration, how long did u talking about? BTW I heard u provide some service regarding calibration stuff? Oh ya if let say I buy the LED backlit LCD, any idea which one is good? budget RM 1800 below. Once again thanks in advance. This post has been edited by eRicK89: Jul 30 2011, 07:16 PM |
