Get panasonic

I wonder if I am the unlucky one.

I purchased ST50 from Aeon member day sales happily after reading so good review about the unit.

But unfortunately the nightmare begin....

The unit has some Dirty Screen Effect (DSE), which I discover during break in period.  though quite mild but is noticeable.

Call Aeon for exchange (actually they allow to refund too).  I think of asking refund too but thought my luck won't be that bad, so I take the bet.

The 2nd unit came and i notice this unit was even worse than the first unit.  about 40% of the screen is full of DSE.

Beside this, the unit is so easily to get "burn mark" even though i had completed 200 hours of break-in.  Just less than 10 minutes of staying in a channel, you will discover the burn mark such as "HDMI" stays.  Though this can be wipe away by using the scrolling bar, but it really upset me.  Don't tell me the user has to run this process every now and then...

Call the panasonic to complain...

The engineer who came said this is normal as the ST50's constrast is too high at 5,000,000:1.  Oh...my God.

I can sense why the price is dropping drastically.

Thought I can get better unit for ST by topping up few hundred ringgit instead of getting UT, now I really really regret...

Just to share.

Check if got dead pixel

Just received my ST50K. What should I check beside 'no noticeable defect' on the screen?

Senq Leisure Mall, Cheras is selling the 50ST50K at RM 3,199 for the next 3 days as part of their grand opening celebration. Only 20 units at this price.

Just came back from SenQ Leisure Mall just now :-
50ST50K : RM5,099 (Less RM100 for SenQ PlusOne member, ie. RM4,999)
50UT50K : RM4,099 (Less RM100 for SenQ PlusOne member, ie. RM3,999)
50XT50K : RM3,199

Asked the SA there about the Last Weekend Grand Opening Sales, he said that last weekend only this model 50ST50K got special promotion price : RM3,199 .  Bro eBoy , you have got the very good deal !!! 

I did not buy it as I was looking for the 65ST or 65VT but unfortunately they did not have special price for these 2 models.  I think one of the forummers bought it there at the special price last week.

Just came bavk from senq leisure mall. Bought the ST50 for rm3199 with 2x 3d glass n 1xhdmi cable i also asked the SA n she said that it cost rm150 each for any additional 3d glass.

Did you check whther it's new unit or display unit?

Keep bugging Panasonic. Don't give up.

Harvey norman is having promo for the 65 model. 7900 i think

Both are new unit - from the total hours usage screen.

Thanks for the advice.
