Bro,
Is it cash or cc?
Btw, which tbm u bought from?

guys, skype can be use without buying camera?
tv got built in mic or not?

looking at USA official announced price 1300 dollar, i expect p50st60 comming soon model will sell below 4k ringgit
added feature is magic pen, quite nice

the main thing is UT50 model will give plenty of glass reflection in bright room (as seen from outlet)
u can see ur reflection inside the tv when picture showing black
however, if u can control light source or block window no big deal la

while ST50 has anti reflection filter (similar to higher range GT50, VT50) can block light that shine from top only
but white color cannot be strong as LCD or LED display

UT50 has less setting for color reproduction and etc.. ST50 got

Some reviews that might help you.

ST50 http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/panasonic-t...01203191731.htm

UT50 http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/panasonic-t...01209252218.htm

Basically if lighting & internet connectivity are not probs, UT50 is also a good choice. You can't go wrong either way.


Mate I hate to break it to you but USD 1300 = RM 4030. There's no chance it'll be cheaper here than in the US.

For P50ST50, the box dimension is 0.82(H) x 1.39(W) x 0.22(D). Measurement is in meter.

Can try to measure yourself.

TBM old klang road ... pay half in cc, half in cash, no extra charge for cc

last time my bro buy living fan there. Then i have ask if paying by cc have extra charge or not. They say no extra charge. I think better than SenQ give excuse processing charges.

Just wondering what is the major difference between the 50ST50 and 50ST60? I read the review and found mainly optional magic pen which I don't think I need.

If the price difference is 1k, then I can decide to take 50ST50 then.....

AV products are normally overpriced locally. I doubt it's only ~4k. RM is normally USD x4. (Some products can be x5 or x6) I think final price is about 1300x4=~5k.

hi guys,
just wanna ask plasma tv wont last very long?
heard from my friend 2 or 3 years it will break down.
is that true?

Not exactly ,just a myth,my pana moving to 3rd year no problem so far but my Samsung LCD gone in less then a year!!

Quality product count.

I just bought a ST50k. How to calibrate it and how come there is no custom mode in the viewing mode? Please help?

Jusco 1U is having offer for both 42" ET5K & ET50K

Both priced at 2899, however ET50K gets rm250 voucher & wifi dongle.

I prefer ET5K due to the passive 3D but ET50K seems like a better deal as it's more expensive than ET5K now same price and got voucher somemore.

But need AEON card.

Any promotion for 47 inch in jusco?

i just bought the 50ST50K from TBM with installment plan for RM3200.

i plan to do a little calibration as i have the Spyder3TV. Does anyone has any experience in in calibrating this TV? How is the performance of this TV right out of the box before calibration?

i have also read that it would be better that we have run in the tv for about 500 hours before calibration. Is this true?

i have just completed my 50ST50K calibration with the Spyder3TV and the result that i got is as below:

Contrast = 88
Brightness = -15
Colour = 53
Tint = -3
Colour Balance = Warm

do you guys think that the contrast is too high?

Some say high contrast should be avoided for the first few hundred hours or so, to avoid IR and to break in the phosphors smoothly.

Others say modern TVs don't need to be broken in and you can use high contrast right out of the box.

So it's up to you. For my ST50 I plan to keep the contrast at 50 highest for the first few months.

Contrast is about right if u want to hit 30-40ft/L.

However, if the set is still new, might be better to avoid static logos and black bars till it beds in.

Ur brigthness setting is not quite right, unless u r using PC level video and trying to clamp it down to ensure its showing video level settings. For normal BD viewing, its close to 0. Also, I don't recall needing to use tint as it has a CMS. Is this with True Cinema mode? TrueCinema mode has the most accurate setting to start with for gamma tracking.

Did u calibrate white balance?

i didnt calibrate the white balance as the SypderTV only calibrates contrast, brightness, colour, tint and colour temperature.

i started it off with using Normal for calibration because this TV does not have the option to calibrate Colour Balance once TrueCinema has been enabled.

with this brightness setting, i am still able to see all the shades of grey and black in the grey scale chart but i cant really differentiate the last 2 shades of whites.

i feel that there are a lot of things left to calibrate but the Spyder3 has too limited function.

TrueCinema has white balance controls. U need to go to advanced to calibrate 2 point white balance.

Also, what were u using as a source when checking brightness? At -15 brightness u r crushing black for typical blu ray/hd viewing unless u r sending a RGB PC signal to the display.

Download the AVS HD709 test disc from the web. Burn it in DVD and test it on a BD player. Check the brightness pattern.

Unless u hv selected RGB PC as ur BD output, -15 will crush black.
