u can try look on the TV on sinchew...
seem the TV stand base is oval design... but 30k series is square design...
somemore stated "exclusive" on the pricing there... so highly is the latest model

anyway, X series always HD ready only, only U series is Full HD...

but if SenQ selling TH-P50X38K HD Ready @ RM3799, it is almost there...
bcos the market selling price (non promo price) of TH-P50X30K about RM3099 and TH-P50U30K about RM3799

You can't understand my post above. I mean why you want to get a HD ready model TH-P50X38K for RM3799 from SenQ while you can get a Full HD model TH-P50U30K for RM2799? If's there's model such as TH-P50U38K & TH-P50X38K, that's just those so called 'Exclusive' model for SenQ with the same spec of TH-P50U30K and TH-P50X30K.

TH-P50U30K was 2011 model. Don't listen to bulls**t from those sales at SenQ or others big outlet if they say it's discontinued. They just want to push their so called exclusive model.

I also dont think that the 50u30k will be discontinued in this year actually.
I agreed what you are trying to say there....
even when I go to order this model, the shop seller also try to persuade me to get other LED tv,
and from their display unit, it shows that this model is so so so dark, you wont go to buy this model if you see it.

But lucky that I got see it before on other place and Panasonic show booth as well.
The image is really a lot better than the setting in their shop.
I guessed that this 50" price is quite low and show good picture enough,
if they set the best for settings for this tv, they will not able to push other brands and models to reach their sale target.
bcoz the led tv is more expensive with smaller inches of size.

but really duno why, it has no stock now....

uhm.... no one knows about the Panny's VESA details? Or Panasonic Plasma is NOT VESA compliant at all?

TQ

this is the wall bracket recommended by panasonic for p50u30, some measurement may be useful



this screen shot was taken from middle east model p50u20 user manual


this was taken from panasonic UK, applicable model: TX-p42u30e, TX-p50u30e

i never means to get latest model...
what i means is if 38k series launched, definitely 30k series will drop price here like what u said and what i said in Post #74
i still will get 30k but wait for another price drop if confirmed SenQ's 38k was the 1st batch of "latest" model...

anyway, still managed to google X38k with 42" and 50" which the contents fall under panasonic japan... but still seem dont have U38k yet...

You salesman asked to wait how long time for the 50U30K?

Thank you !! At least someone did reply me. I tried to google P50U30 and hardly any results returned. US's panasonic website does not has this model. Does P50U20/P50U30E same as Msia's P50U3? TQ

bring your own ruler and measure it at the electrical store to be absolutely sure

they don't sell such low end model at USA market, malaysian model is called p50u30k

TH-P50U30K can be found at RM2799 or even lower, which's way cheaper than RM3799 TH-P50X38K HD ready model.. which to me considered a good buy already for a 50" Full HD model. So, there's no point looking at a HD ready model. Also, it's not the replacement model for the X30 or U30 series..
I believe those 'exclusive' model will be available only via SenQ or the rest of large outlet such as Tesco, Jusco etc..

i expecting the 30k will drop further again if 38k is the confirmed new model for 2012...

April/May of this year the 30k price about RM3300, after 1 month drop till RM2999, later drop again RM2799...
i worry another price drop another Rm100-200 next months from Rm2799 as the price oledi few months here...

anyway, my neighbour's fren's fren selling 30k RM2650, believe should be FHD model...

you neighbor's friend's friend still got stock or not for the 50U30K?

No sure woh.i try to ask...

Thanks... Please let me to know...
Actually I did pay a booking fees to a shop, but they still not able to help me to get it after 1 week.
If they still cannot get it by about 2 weeks time, I may cancel its booking and find the others.

Going by Panny's past practice, the X38K is just a different version of X30K but still belongs to the 2011 family of models.

The 2012 models will likely have 40K in their model names if the naming convention continues.

Just like the 28K vs 20K, the 28K model is solely sold by Jusco (?). So, the 38K models are maybe sold by certain retailers?

Yeah.. We have the same view..

so the 38k just a "bull shit" model only?

No, it's an "exclusive" model.

This practice already practice for quite some time. If you read previous thread (quite sometime ago), their already discussed.

Thanks for the info!
