First to Check in

Congratz on V4 although I didn't own a Viera.

Any update on your problem?

I have re tight the extension plug cable. still monitoring.

st50 kick in!

Panasonic plasma signed in..

Hi all!! plasma,panasonic plasma lover signed in!

check in, owner of 37" & 47"

Gratz V4

Finally decide to get the GT50.....

Now my old 42 is going to retire soon. Thinking to give the TV to my mom in law....or anyone here interested to get a used TV?

Is a 5~6 yrs old Panasonic plasma TV, model TH-42PV60 and still working without any problem :-)

Are you not keeping it for your wife and children to stream online movies?
What if they complain the new tv is so blur?

Anyway congrats on your new GT50.

Wah still can get GT50 !!!

New unit ? 42 or 50 inch?

Anyway is a good choice, GT is close to VT

Let us know of your first hand user experience ya.

This TV PQ is great though is just HD ready only, it never failed me b4 in my past 6yrs ussage. As typical good Panasonic model, the black level and color reproduction is fantastic.

I can't really comment how is d PQ if compare with latest Panasonic model but during that time, it considered one of the best plasma TV which is affordable (even tat i was paying 7k++ for it). I believe it was something equivalent to ST50 series nowadays.....

Maybe can try to google to see whether still can find any review on this model.

I'm getting a 50 and i believe is still ok to watch online streaming..... and tats why i give up d 60" ST60 although myself is toward it.....

I'm staying at condo and really no additional place for big tv.

Actually my plan is to exchange a 32 LED with my mom in law....but i fan also sell it to someone much appreciate on d pany plasma PQ...it all depend...

So, if someone interested, i would expect s/he actually buy it as second tv....

Pls offer me ur price if interested bcoz i really do not know how much i shd sell....this tv is 7k++ when new

Good luck in your sales

VT50 Checking in

ST50 check in

Any of you play 3D movies with your set? Normally play it through BlueRay player or USB Drive. I check that some 3D movie is about 40+GB, can play through USB?

Hi All Sifus...

But then when i visit the electric shop, the SA told me that panasonic tv cannot support rmvb...i am confusing now...who should i believe to? hope any sifu who owned this 39" can answer this...
Many Thanks.

Yes!! you can play 3D movies with the USB drive if your USB storage is big enough
or else you can play through the external harddisk...is work
BTW, I normally played my 3D movies with the Bluray player

Why don't you copy a few RMVB files in a thumb drive and test it on the tv?

Which model you r referring to?? Panasonic LED TV
If for the new models, yes! all 39" new models are supporting rmvb format
Don't worry sometimes the SA not really know what they r selling for

Cucubud....yes, i planning to do so...but all the shop is allow to do so?

tmsuxxk... i look for model: TH-L39EM6K, in the spec there is showing that able support rmvb file...thats why i confuse when the SA said this model not support rmvb pula...
btw, any comment on this model?

Yes, Asia model support rmvb file playback. But Europe and US model does not. In most cases, I think the SA don't know his product that well. Just copy a rmvb file and play it on their display set to verify. Or if you have the panasnoic Viera brochure with the rmvb icon, point it to the SA and ask him to call back to his supplier and verify.

Thanks for your reply, no I plan to use external hdd as well, but I am just curious, 40GB+ of data need to be consume in 2 hours for a movie, wonder is my hdd fast enough? By the way, do you try accessing any video through network?

Wow, you buy 3D bluray disc? Expensive yo...

Currently still waiting for the ST65 to arrive, expected to reach September as currently no stock.... so long, but already start accumulating nice 3D movie

If they don't allow you to test out the tv, then don't buy from them.
Some of them even have all the files format to test for you.
Usually I will bring my thumb drive and play on the tv I am interested in.

a movie may consume close to 50GB because of multi language in lossless format, can say it is a bluray rip data. But
if u play 1 language and 1 video file or extract other language, it wont take as much space as u think.

Normally I like to play all the movies on external hdd through the media player
What do you mean for accessing video through network?
Do you mean using the Youtube apps? or direct go to some movie website to stream in the movies on the TV's?

But I have very surprised is the Youtube apps can pairing to my Iphone5 to let my phone do the searching and played it back on my TV.....this is awesome

Haha...my 3D bluray disc is not the ori la......ori beh tahan

Yes! Currently 65ST60 is out of stock.....according to the Pana shop in my place, he said this model had to wait until September

i believe he dont mean internet stream, but local area network stream a.k.a. DLNA

i have tried 720p DLNA streaming using wifi from tv and wifi from computer.
playback ok, time seeking sux. haha

Yup I mean DLNA... ha ha... I noticed there is also a LAN port, wondering will it be faster if use LAN port

I think it won't be faster since "n" WIFI speed should be good enough speed and for watching movie via WIFI is no really a big issue....however, I remembered 1~2 years back, when watching over 15GB HD via WIFI, I experienced some buffering or delay....since then, all my media players is connected using LAN port.

But I think it is also depending on your router because some router has good WIFI range or strong WIFI signal.....

However, you can always try it out using your WIFI......

Wifi is a bit iffy especially for 1080p mkvs due to the bigger bitrates but for rmvb's/avi's is ok. You may get more stuttering or buffering.

Wifi signal also depends a lot on distance from router, any thing obstructing the signal (such as between floors) and also interference from other 2.4GHz wireless products such as cordless phones/bluetooth.

For best results, use LAN cables.

hey all sifus. I am looking for a slim LED with high hertz (ard 600 or +) for smooth football watching. is there any recommendation?

added: any reviews on TH-L42ET60K?

This post has been edited by j-insigh: Aug 25 2013, 09:19 PM

But to be frank, panasonic LED technology performance / price ration may not be tthe best

Looking at the TH-L50E6K... Roughly how much am I expected to pay for this?

may i know panasonic viera it is support DVB-T2 ???

what is the use of DBV-t2 ? just asking...

XT50 checking in..at last.

My guess is that it's a tuner, to get free to air channel, but I don't think it is usable in Malaysia... maybe if you live down south can get Singapore channel?

What about P50UT50K. Saw in shop in Sabah priced at RM3099 without nego. P50ST50K in ACI Technology in kompleks Karamunsing sells at RM5k. Damn expensive

Don't buy pana led... Sucks..bought 47et50k and sells it 3 months later.

Judder to much..look for other brand

Just friendly advise

I don't know about P50UT, but for P60ST60k, 2013 model, the retail price is RM6500... Hmm... so I think P50ST50K quoted is really a bit too expensive

what is the refresh rate of this model? i cant find this model on panasonic malaysia website

then wat brand u using now?

Right now using my monitor as a tv. Still hunting for plasma maybe buying samsung plasma.

When I asked the sales assistant he said 3d bla bla bla..
Damn expensive..senq karamunsing sells st60k for RM6.2K I guess, can't remember much.

emm what brand good with performance / price ratio ?

Sharp maybe...

The korean led TV technology is not bad though, but try to go for the middle and upper range.

SENQ is having a merdeka sales, anybody know if they are putting some good sales for plasma tvs? Cann't seems to find any brocheur with more details about products on discount

you don know in selangor area can get RTM HD with DVB-T2 tuner?? my house already can get this testing signal . this DVB-T2 is for future use in 2015 all tv antenna will move from analog to digital

great to know that. read it somewhere about DVB initiative, think the one you mention is on trial & been going quite sometime. Anyway, might take sometime to rollout compared to others. If there's already RTM-HD, do we still need the gov funded njoi for digital tv ? Is it the same initiative ? By the way UK have most of their channel in HD over the air means no need decoder whatsoever according to my friend. The catch is, they still pay for tv license just like we were before.

I'm staying down south, so no chance to try
How is the RTM HD, it is clear, or just playing SD content only...

Hi guys, what is the 3D glasses to recommend besides Panasonic? Looking for rechargeable type.

For active shutter 3D glasses, I think you may not get other manufacturer 3D glasses and used, because their sync signal maybe different. Better double check.

Passive 3D glasses, no need battery, and can use interchangebly between manufacturers.

Hi, just got my GT50....trying to change some setting according to some reviewer from web but I found that some of the settings are not available:

For example: Black level, Color Temperature, Color Space.....

Is it because due to different country model? Or anything I'm missing here?

for this generation panasonic use bluetooth to sync with tv.
i believe 3rd party glasses with bluetooth can be used.


you must enable advanced setting in last menu (forgotten the name...)
then use true cinema mode to access full setting.

Yes, I meant active shutter 3D glasses, any recommendation? Any brand?

This post has been edited by mox123: Aug 27 2013, 03:00 PM

Yes, I did enable that setting, that's why some of the advance settings appeared....however, some are missing.....

Is it true some of the settings only appears under true cinema mode? I'll try it out later....

I don't think there is much 3rd party active 3d glasses on our market. 3D never did really take off.
Maybe samusing glasses can be used, but review says that it is crappy although cheap.
You are better off asking the shop that sells you the tv to give you discount on additional glasses.

Just a question,why is the MBO Cinema 3d glasses cannot be used on any other source or movie,can someone explain the technology,I am curious,thanks.

I thinkMBO cinema 3D glasses should be polorized, but I may be wrong. You can know more frome here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_film

Thanks bro wl check it up

Oh... To check if the MBO glasses is linear polarized, you can take tow glasses and placed it in your line of sight, one on top of another and then start rotating the bottom one, if the lenses become totally black, then confirm it is linear polarized.

So if its polarized does that mean its disposable which means after one movie u throw it away ? We went for Smurfs 3D and paid xtra RM5 for 3d glasses,we hv 5 glasses at home ,I attempted to use them on my VT20K but it never worked!So I think they are disposable after single use!

I assume you refered to Panasonic VT20k plasma TV, Pana plasma TV uses active shuttle glasses, so the glasses from MBO cannot be used. But Pana LED TV 2013 model, maybe can use, cause these new LED TV switch to passive polarized technology.

Yes that was plasma,looks like I hv to check it on a PPT LED tv,wl try it before I throw them away,thanks pal!

looking to buy a panasonic plasma 42-46", any recommendation?
ST60 looks good but smallest is 50", too big for me...

Panasonic plasma all starts from 50' and goes up to 65'.
You will have to look for LED TV

haha no wonder!
sorry noob here...
if this is the case, i think best is go for ST60.

Even ST60 they only bring in 60" and 65".....and 60" you can only buy it from selected store....unless 50/55" was brought in recently....

65ST60k still no stock... wait for nearly a month liao

Does anyone know where can buy the Panasonic TY-CC20w Skype camera around PJ area?

The shop i bought my GT50 have stock for 65ST60 but is in PJ.

You can order at any Panashop, it is those electrical shop that sell only Panasonic product.

Too bad I'm in southern region

Actually checked on few and most of them don't have :-(

Hmm... I saw Panashop in my area got but I forgot how much.
By the way, logitech C910 can be used for skype but maybe hard to find, they also have a tv web cam as well

The price should be around RM200.....thanks anyway bro...I think I'll just take my time to find, not in hurry actually ;-)

hi guys...is there any pana plasma full HD for 50 inch...below 3k? i m currently looking for one but i dont know which model to go for...mainly usage for online streaming/youtube/movie

i will be connecting the tv to a CPU...for browsing and online purpose/online tvb drama, sometimes to watch blu ray movie...hence i m thinking to go for a FHD...no need 3D or built in media player...any sifu can help

This post has been edited by ccc8910: Aug 29 2013, 12:35 PM

A forumner "billykl" quoted me a month ago the model TH-50UT50K RM2950 include together a wifi dongle. maybe you can search for it.

However, r u saying that u want to connect the TV directly to a CPU? I heard most people recommend to go for LCD/LED. Also, assuming if connect to PC, you should have a good graphics card that is HDCP compatible, if not, it is not really necessary go for full HD TV......

Me too, thinking to get full HD 50" plasma, no 3D required...less than RM3000 if possible, anyone know about the shop selling?

FOr 2013 model, there is only one Panasonic plasma at 50' selling in Malaysia, which is P50X60k, but I doubt is is below RM3000, maybe you can try search 2012 and 2011 model, during then, there is more 50' plasma

Hi guys.... i plan to buy TH-L50E6K this weekend. anybody owned this tv? got any reviews?

The reason i choose this TV is because 50 inch (suit to my living room) , less than RM 4k & smart tv with skype

is it good deal?

This post has been edited by ramuk: Aug 30 2013, 11:28 AM

What's the latest price for it?

hi,
what's the shop name and location?

It should be good but just a reminder, to use skype, you need to purchase addtional accessories

Was quoted RM7800 2 weeks ago, but they don't have stock, and need to wait until mid of Sept
How about you, what is the latest price you find out?

Is called Yuen Hing Aircon and Electrical at Kota Damansara (didn't ask the price bcoz is was out of my budget but I believed is around RM8500).....

Btw, SengHeng nearby have the 60ST60 too and was quoted RM6500 with 2 3D glasses until end of this month....

which one value for money, the p60st60 or p65st60?

Only spotted RM8699 at SenQ, i guess your price is pretty Ok. Will post out here if i have finding

Hi thanks for the info .. as for the connection, I will connect to CPU for online purpose & video streaming…I need it to be FHD coz I plan to connect with a bluray player to watch cinema movie..

yes boss. thank you

Wow.. this is tough question.... in my opinion I think 60' is value for money, cause it is RM1500 cheaper.
Except for the screen size, all the rest of the spec is the excatly the same.

But still I am thinking of purchasing 65' despite all the logic, because it is 65', if buy 60', I'll always feel that there is a bigger screen which maybe is better, if I buy the biggest (in terms on Panasonic plasma tv), then no need to think or regret.
