i just bought the ps43d451.

anyone else have it and care to share their experience here on price,calibration,setting etc.

i bough it at rm1660 in penang.with 2 years warranty.This is my first korean product

from 32'' lcd to 43" plasma.. what i can say is.. wow!! superb picture, a lot better watching astro sd compared to lcd. but i gotta train my eyes before getting used to it. kinda "warm" compare to the lcd.
cant compare to full hd plasma but its bang for buck made me buy it.. altho some of my friend says im going backward because nowadaya people layan LED.
ps:tak pandai nak bubuh gambar lah.budak baru.

1.astro 90%
2.dim living room
3.8ft watching distance

u made the right choice...
SD astro looks better on plasma..the 720p from b.yond will look fine as well

wow, nice price. Where you bought it? can PM me the place if its not convenience to post here? SenQ selling 1899 with free 1 year warranty.

jelutong area,<---and actually the tv in that ad is mine now..hehe. i go for display set.. 2 day display set..

try to bargain more. i managed to save rm40 only.. .eh i tot this tv is default two years warranty?

just want to add that the tv got image burn protection,automatic sensor to light, and the reflection is unnoticable (comparing plasma with plasma lah)..

courts mammoth at rm1999, tesco penang at 1799 if im not mistaken

Samsung plasma got a bit matt so reflection is not that bad compare to glass screen of Panasonic X series.

Well.. I just bought similiar samsung D series. But mine is PS51D490 (3DTV). I have not used the TV yet as I'm still break-in the plasma. After the break-in completed, I share you my calibration setting..
Yep.. reasonable price TV

i think i want to skip the break in lah. setting brightest at <50 and pixel cell below <10 is too dark to my liking,(sudah biasa dengan bright dynamic lcd )and the break in period is too long for a wait.
i use the image burn protection for precaution.

eh worst case scenario what will happen ah? planning to use it 2/3 years only

Well me break in bukan macam tu... Me pakai cara break-in dapat dari internet.. Me buat macam ni... Break-in untuk 5days.. around 100hrs. All use standard Pic Mode
i. First 2hours set the tv brighness 75, contrast 75, and cell 15
ii. Rest one hour, run the TV for 1hr brighness 100, contrast 100, and cell 20

After that I do this cycle (planning to do it for 2days)
i. Run the tv using brighness 100, contrast 100, and cell 20 for 3hrs
ii. Rest one hour, run the TV for 8hr brighness 75, contrast 75, and cell 15

4th day
i. Run the tv using brighness 75, contrast 75, and cell 15 for 24hrs

5th day
i. Run the tv using brighness 100, contrast 100, and cell 20 for 18hrs

Oh, from my friend punya previous experience, if he tak buat the break in, the tv senang dapat image retention..

Anyway, this is my first plasma tv, so me amik his advise sikit laa

Oh.. my friend pakai only one function for the burn-in protection, the light black bar.. the other on pixel-shifting he tak pernah use... well he used like once or twice, but get irritated cause he can notice the pixel shifting when watching the tv.. i say to him .. ya meeeh... so peka ka??? heheh

wahhh, it is so intense! haha.
by doing that method does that mean to leave the tv idle? i mean same image for 18 hours?
and by looking at 100 brightness and 100 contras and cell 20 already frighten me up. because that is the max setting..

anyway. OFF TOPIC, the cara break in yang saudara dapat di internet ini seolah2 cara break in enjin kereta atau motor baru yang saya guinakan dan dapat dari internet. remp it to the max with various speed instead of half power(constanly) till 1000km.. and it works! but reason being in an engine is to sit the valve seal still.. im quite doubt the same thing in electronics of a plasma. and yes, this is my first plasma too.
can you give me the link for that?
err.. you ambik cuti ke untuk buat break in cara macam ni?

I put my detail break-in here..

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1812509

thanks mate. but having some trouble understanding it lah .

by the way more reviews on ps43d451.im comparing to my old 32" lcd by the way.

1. the black are really black!!
2. the self adjust to the light works.

cons
1.white is a bit yellowish<--maybe i dont calibrate it .got white adjustment option. but dont want to kacau that one first. got many adjustment on the white alone..

2. felt a bit dizzy. maybe somekind of radioactif from the plasma or my brain cant brain the sudden changes from puny 32" to 43"..i hope i dont get cancer because of this tv

will update finding later on..

weiii. am i the only one having the cheapest 43" here? ayoooo. <<<<<<<anybody>>>>>>>?

i'm also interested with this model.. now comparing with LG42PJ350.. or any other better plasma? budget 1.8k max..

i bought this last friday at the price of RM 1699 including delivery .... PJ area.

awesome price but only is i guess the 43 " can make the astro go pixels ..

then sit further away..haha

rumah kecil

i have the same problem as well before. either lg42pj350 or samsung ps43d451.

well this is how i weight the pros and cons before deciding.

1. i surfed the web,lg42pj got a lots of fan.they even have their fun club(non malaysian) they voted the best bang for buck plasma. +1 LG

2.walk around shops and noticed a newer LG in town the 250r which only cost rm1799 with some feature upgraded +1 samsung

3.everywhere i go..i cant get it any less than rm1599..and as i can remember this is 2010 model (which irony my friend bought in august 2009) at rm1999 +1samsung

4.for a 42" plasma its the cheapest in town ever..brand new..+1 lg

5. 43" samsung rm 1660 rm vs 42" lg rm1599.. only rm61 difference.. imagine how much the price gap between 46" vs 42"plasma on the market right now.. if $$$ can be translated to inch..its well worth it.. both had slim design by the way..and for my usage.. size does matter.. +1 samsung

6.too lazy to read but the function on samsung > than the pj350 +1

7.the price is rm1660.. how much more can it be lowered in the future..(please calculate on %, not $$$) +1samsung

8.the scary story from the retailer.(he dont sell any samsung but he ushered me to buy a newer lg250) due to 350pj is an old model..when it comes to old models they will slap you with display unit. they will wrap it like brand new.. no one whose right in the head will buy a display unit PLASMA priced as the same as new one. +1 samsung

9.hdmi input both have 2 if im not mistaken.. -lg -samsung

10. 2 years warranty vs 1 year and plus samsung service centre located nearby my area +1 samsung

im not a samsung fanboy by the way..matter a fact i looked down on korean product. and this is my first korean. someone should teach the japs to be a little bit more competitive..this issue include the automotive scenario

then no others value for money plasma in the market rite now.. will further survey and grab 1 next weekend.. actually i plan used this for Unify TV..

1. During at shop, 1 guy told me dont buy samsung.. coz not quality.. he regret buying samsung.. (maybe unlucky buyer but i need to beware also)
2. LG speaker not really good compare samsung.. (my opinion)

hows the 3D?

actually theres a panasonic plasma. which i think the X series in that price range. rm1699. the only downside prventing me from buying it was. its glossy and really really reflective.such a turn off.

1.thats the thing, i heard about samsung bad quality as well, heard that even samsung top level tv also have some quality issue. only god knows their quality on the cheap entry level ones. well the price made me willing to bite the bullet.

2.yup, agreed. samsung speaker is quite good.but for me it doesnt matter because the sound comes out from my Htib.

its better to spoil after 2 years so that we have a reason to buy a new one.
