yes, it can play RMVB format.
just finished watching Grace Fire on my d450 43"...
hehehehe

great... usually the TVB dramas that i download are RMVB... ok, confirm buy this model liao

Aiyah why so troublesome? I just run it non-stop 24/7 and be done with it. I bet with price coming down so fast, you probably get fed up of 43" after a few years and wanted to get rid of it anyway and exchange it for a 50"

I did this test based on the recommendation from the website HDGuru... they don't actually recommend to run it continuosly. To get a uniform phosphur burn it is recommended on the first 24hrs of controlled break-in, the panel should be off for at least 1hrs so the phophur screen can cool down..
Oh yeah, some other method is to run it 24h/3d... A lot of method in the web, just pick and combine to suits ur preference..

anyway, after the burn-in, i notice my plasma so far has no image retention issues... since im using astro byond, watching sd content will have the black pillar on the channel, n surprisingly, after few hrs, no image retention... so now basically, all the screen burn in function i turn it off since i feel it doesnt have much effect.

The more severe test I did on my plasma was playing fallout 3 last sunday for approximate 4hrs... no image retention due to HUD display of the game (just to let u guys know, the HUD display of the game is bright green)

Conclusion, not sure whether the new plasma has a better image retention supression or it is because of the break-in. But to be safe, I will always recommend people to do break-in. For me, break-in is a hassle, but worthwhile to do

Oh yeah, im using 51". The model is PS51D490.. the 3d implementation is great. (The most impressive 3d implementation is by Pana, i didnt choose pana because other reason). So as a user/buyer know the limitation of the tv u wanna buy. Forum like this will highlight a lot of issues..

is PS43D451 Full HD ?

produce more heat than LCD ?

the usb plays mvb, avi, mpeg, wmv, mov, dat, avi, mpeg, rm, wmv ?

wonder if the usb supports my 1TB HDD ?

I bought Samsung Plasma TV PS43D451 recently, just got my astro installed, its weird that when i on astro channel the picture become black and white (no colour), but when i watch DVD it has color, when i attached atenna to it, channels has colors too.. can someone guide me on the setting.. called astro, the astro tech guy also can't fix the problem, now the ball kick back to the TV seller..

i think it has something to do with the color system. it happens to my granny's panasonic tv when paired up to the satellite stb. when viewing certain channels, it'll turn to black and white, while other channels works fine. FYI, tv color system has been set to auto, pal, ntsc while the stb sets to pal & ntsc for testing different configurations. until now still can't fix the problem. dunno why.

If it's not FULL HD, forget about it....

dude, i plan to get a PS43D451 this weekend. any idea what is the best price you guys found in KL? I got it about RM1680 at melaka but additional RM70 for 0% easy payment (zzzZZ).

i bought at ONKING pandan indah middle last month... RM1580

excellent picture quality... deep black after some colour calibrate

can play .mkv?

can play mkv no worry, i just bring my hdd to senx and tested.
nice tv i can say, but im not so sastify with the 3d function, but we cannot request so much within this price range

hi all, question on this samsung 43" lcd.... it's resolution is 1024x768, when i tried to playback e.g. transformers 3 official trailer downloaded from youtube (mp4 720p) it has the black bands on top and bottom. can i ask other owners, if you playback using thumbdrive, what's the best resolution to maximize the screen?

i just bought PS43D451 today and after reading the reviews here i can confirm that i have made a good buy at rm1499 :-)
am so happy with this baby!!

where did u get it for 1499?
they delivered to ur door step ah?

i thought the cheapest is 1550...

Never mind, bought it already...

Lucky u, i bought mine RM1750 last 2 month ago at Puchong ,only to know that sudah kena "water fish".... But after 2 days i got lucky, MR> TOTO said he'll paid for it.(xxxx) My lucky day. LOVE MY SAMSUNG PLASMA.

Well, actually this plasma is good for SD material only...

If u plan to watch HD, I think u better off with other model..

do you have this plasma? i disagree with the statement below. i downloaded transformers trailer 720p from youtube and i have to say the quality is quite good.

if you are not a hifi movie buff, and just want to watch some 720p, i think this is a great deal. it's going for around RM1500 now and I think that's a great deal for a 43". which other plasma/lcd costs this low??

I have this plasma....what u r seeing is actually less than 720p...anyway u probably can't see the difference..

no doubt this is the cheapest 43" plasma..
