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

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

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

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?

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 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

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.

dont know, dont have the player or dvd that is capable for 3D, and actually the 451 models dont have any hint that it can play 3d.eventho its a D-series..
in samsung website got the 450 model.. and the real 3d one the 490.<---rm2600..

Added on April 5, 2011, 9:51 amhaha yup. agreed. after 2 year warranty period over. nak rosak rosak lah. but i wont say the same thing if the tv is rm3k and above..
and funny thing is, after a week of viewing now i found out that 43" is not that big! i just hope in 2 years time the price of 50" or 55" will go down tremendously..

congrats for your purchase, quite a bargain you get a free hdmi cable. mind sharing your settings?.

im thinking of mounting my plasma to the wall but at the same time i want to put some ambient backlight behind the tv.. read in the net got some led strip, wonder can get it here.

yup a lil bit hot at the front panel, but at the back,its cool,, my previous lcd is hotter than that.

i like to know that part as well, some tv got the lan port

then how to activate the internet? quite noob at this.

actually yours is 450, and mine is 451, if im not mistaken, anything with 0 at the back is 2010 model. BUT.. its expensive then 451.. for 450 model the price is quite normal.. here in tesco penang selling at rm1899 or rm 1799..

and D451 takda dalam samsung malaysia website.. im thinking of maybe ap set.like handphone.. but the spec, and the tv itself is the same..the only difference i can recall is, the 450 got 2d/3d sticker at the tv , while 451 dont have..

maybe samsung expert can help us on this..
already buy sud be happy lah, no need to regret. i bough mine in penang. i link the shop in my first post in this thread.

ejan who bough it at rm1680, i bought it at rm1660.

thanks for the explanation mate. i always tot that D stands for 3d.. and 50 vs 51 is the year that model came out.. however i notice that the bezel colour look the same..

the biggest difference in 2010 and 2011 is the 42" vs 43".

one thing that i really cant get is whay the 450 model is highly priced?.. rm200 apart from 451.
spec wise its the same , and like you say..from afar its black

samsung malaysia sud take a look in this issue.. and one more,actually its hard to find the 451..at least in penang.

rm200 is a lot! add rm40 more.. tadaaa astro beyond for a year.

yup,you should enjoy it.rm200 for digital output is well worth it..ive checked mine,no digital output..i connect to my htib via rca..nanti confirm again..
hope somebody can enlighten you on this RMVB, i rarely watch any RMVB contents, so takda pun takpa janji murah..

LG250 is a bit pricier,and its 42".. yup a bit matte,compard to panasonic plasma's.. err but not to much if i say a bit matte than some LED tv around the market right now.
