I think the big question is, is the price same as current level of clearance price of V series? Should we
scramble to buy V series at clearance price?
Samsung price point of latest 4 series plasma show that the price is same or higher a bit than the clearance price of 2010 plasma.
Example is 43" plasma (43" and not 42" which is an upgrade) is RM1999 retail price. Can get discount some more. So it seems the
clearance price stuck with the new model of Samsung.
With the P42V20 now sold as low as RM2,299 and Samsung's "attractive" pricing for its HD-ready 2011 models, Panasonic Malaysia's would be hard pressed to maintain a premium price for its mainstream 2011 models if it wants to maintain its market share. Meanwhile, the V series is a great buy.scramble to buy V series at clearance price?

I reckon it is an expensive lesson for the folks at Panasonic Malaysia. It should have gradually lowered the V series prices (like in other mature markets) in Q4 2010 instead of dumping the prices after the 2011 line-up has been announced.
