Is the prices really more expensive in JB? I've been scouting for 50" u30k and the best I've got so far is RM330 with 2yrs warranty.. highest was rm3900!
Anyone in JB who got this set below 3k mind to pm me the location of the dealer??

Bro, RM330? Seriously? Typo maybe?

sorry its typo... its rm3300. that's way above rm2700 and rm2800 that I see being quoted here in the forum compared to prices I get from shops in JB.

Do you have Best Denki or Harvey Norman in JB? If yes, check out their prices. FYI, ask for discount. They do allow for some discount from their listed prices.

My friend bought a 50" u30k two weeks ago in Miri for RM2700 only.

Rasahman, i am also on the lookout for the same model pana plasma TH50U30k in JB. I will only buy if the price is below rm2400.
my reason is this model was being offered 2 months back for rm2999 with free 24" lcd tv worth rm599, at that time samsung plasma series 4 51" plasma tv was selling at rm3000. now this samsung model is already selling at rm2499, so it has dropped a lot.

price difference between pana 50u30k and samsung series 4 plasma is about rm500-600.
but due to shortage of pana plasma 50" , i think the price of th5-u30k has not dropped so much like samsung.

i will be going to a couple of big electrical shops this weekend to check the price , if u r keen , we can group together and bargain for better price from the shop.

what say u ?

Panny's plasma is definitely better than Sammy's

ya i agree, but sammy's plasma is always more expensive than panny's plasma inches for inches.

do u know why ? more features perhaps ? better design ?

hi,

i have a 50" plasma v20, thought of buying a wifi for my tv so sometimes can watch youtube.

can we use any kind of usb wifi ? or there is only a specific type which work with the tv.

sorry if this has been discuss before cause i tried searching but nothing came out.

THanks

Not sure if the USB port can support USB Wifi dongle but since there is an ethernet port available, you could consider using a pair of homeplugs in event it does not.

If you are willing to part with RM869, the latest ACRyan Veolo is worth considering.

guys, what is a good price for TH-P50U30K ?

seriously liking this TV but shops are quoting RM3000+ for it?

current price is RM2799.

well ok. i can get it for RM2699 from a local shop in Kota Damansara. but ill try to negotiate to bring it down to RM2500...

name of shop?

But Samsung LED is much better than Panasonic Plasma

I'm looking for the same model at JB. Do you mind to share where you bought it at forum or PM me the shop name and location. Thanks.

I have no doubt on this. Sammy's LED TVs were the first to hit the market. I recall when launched here, the cost of a 40" was almost RM10k, super thin by standards then.

ya i am interested to know too.
@long, you, rasahman and me can group together to go nego a better price with the shop cos we have 3 units for him.

Plasma easier on the eye. Samsung LED TV is too bright and colorful...very fake and hurt the eyes after long viewing.

In what way do u mean better...

The pros for LED backlit LCDs in my mind is the ability to go brighter when the material has a lot of white or light coloured scenes (ie, pictures of snow filled scenes, ice hockey etc) since plasmas are governed by APL. Not having to worry about burn in as much if u game a lot. On better LCDs they have less of a gradiation issue at dim scenes.

The cons are off centre viewing has colour shift. Most LED backlit LCDs have halos or clouding, and post calibration don't put out as bright an image as well (however they are not governed by APL so it is still brighter than plasmas if the scenes have large patches or white or light coloured scenes). Motion is normally not as smooth as well.

Its important to understand that each tech has its weaknesses. So as long as u r aware of them u can decide which one works for u.
