Yeah... need to know this also. My son always watch his favorite movie very near to the screen.

My Plasma: VIERA TH-P42X10K

Is Plasma technology dying? I heard Panasonic going to obsolete Plasma TV soon.
*
Like Anfieldude said, we need to look at several perspectives when we use the words "dying" technology and "obsolete" TV. hmm.gif

IMHO, plasma may have reached it's highest capabilty but does it mean it's dying? It's more fair to say that it has reached it's highest level of achievement. Other newer technolgy has yet to reached that PQ level.

If a plasma TV can consistently produce better displays than other TVs that uses LED and LCD, does it mean it's obsolete?

Case in point is the Pioneer's Kuro which uses Plasma Technology. To-date, there are very few, if any, that can beat it in terms of display PQ.

If that is true, than I'll choose the "dying" and "obsolete" Plasma TV over other TVs with newer technology.

My 2cts worth. icon_rolleyes.gif

I went to shop looking for TV to replace my parents projector TV. The sale person told my parents "Plasma using gas, if the gas finish where to go for refill?"

I was wanna laugh that time.

How true.......the absurdity of some TV salesperson. Some of my friends are still asking me these questions. They even shake their head and wonder why I bought an "obsolete" and "old tech" plasma TV. Even after explaining to them and showing them articles, they still cannot accept it. Oh well doh.gif

Which 3d bluray player is best suited for 65st50? Planning to order the Panasonic 220 or 320 model. Any user here can provide some opinion?

Just had a 65st50 delivered to my house today.

Since you have invested so much, might as well get an Oppo.

ST50 will face burning pixels / burn mark issue ???
I stilll wonder to buy plasma or LED  TV。。。。
I feel ok with the Pana ST50....but just worried about the  burning pixels / burn mark issue for plasma TV...
*
Burning pixels, burn mark......no problem unless you keeps watching static screens. I watched a lot of A$$ channels, there are some minor IR caused by the logos, but it is very negligible. You won't notice it unless you specifically fixed your eye on them.

Too bad, i didn't ask for that.  I though JJ price is fixed  sad.gif

Anyway, I think the price is quite reasonable.  However, they can only deliver the TV two weeks later.

JJ's price is reasonable during J-card day.

Ask the Pana guy for discount n freebies. They are very flexible.

Jusco sell TH-P50ST50 rm3799 less 10% = Rm3419

Member Day Sale = Rm3419 + rebate rm340 voucher

WTA

1)if 0% installament using AEON Credit Card, do they still rebate $340 voucher?

2)I got rm400 voucher. $3419-400 voucher = pay $3019
How much rebate voucher do i get? $340 or $300 voucher i get?

1. Yes
2. RM 340

After re-reading it, I realized I've done it before. Last time, I got the vouchers. Bjut maybe they have change the terms.

Could be this ezy-payment refers to credit plan by Aeon finance, and not by credit card IFI plan.

ST50 already got built-in media player whicc actually does a pretty good job. Just plug in your USB device and you are ready to go.

Get a universal mount. You can reuse it when you change your TV.

Mine has been holding up my 3rd TV.

Good to hear that Panasonic is not giving up thier Plasma TV line yet.

But I feel OLED TVs may be the future trend that will oust Plasma TV in terms of PQ.

Now very expensive, but most probably tthe price will trend downwards when it's demand and popularity picks up. Same as all the the other TV technology.

If you are watching a lot of channels that are availalble in HD, then you may want to consider Byond. PQ in Byond and SD channels are like heaven and earth.

yeah.. i know..SD channel in CRT tv actually still the best..but my crt tv i gave to my mom..i don't have bluray player and there's no need right now for me to subscribe Beyond HD but i only have LED tv and by using old decoder (silver 2nd Gen) PQ is poor..and i just want the PQ a little bit better by changing to beyond decoder.. that's what i meant..do u think it will be better with beyond decoder?(excluding the CRT TV)
yeah.. i know that..but clearly $$$ did not doing my a favour..i just want to change to beyond decoder as right now PQ  worst by using old decoder..maybe next time i will change to beyond HD..did u think PQ will be better than when using old decoder?(excluding CRT TV)

The Byond decoder has some upscaling function to 720p and 1080i. Maybe you can get a little better PQ, but then source is still the same.

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.

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

Keep bugging Panasonic. Don't give up.

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

Thanks for the advice.

BTW, don't keep using the scrolling bar to clean your IR. it will reduce the life of your screen. This was advised by Pana guys who attended to my set.
