i saw a promotion at harvey norman MV. they having a promotion on panasonic. quite tempted to get. RM5499. 42" plasma (panasonic vierra). FREE hdmi cable. 5 year warranty from panasonic. if cannot fix, one on one change. not those year by year cut % warranty. then they say the set now is assemble at sg. parts japan. the coming future set will assemble at china. so QC wise.... erm dunno la... how true is this?

the model is TH-42PV70H. maybe some sifu here can enlighten me bout this. i only use it for astro and occasionally dvd and PS lo. but mainly astro. is it advisable to get?

http://panasonic.com.sg/web/pid/3021/Spec <----- the specs

wanna get some opinions b4 i get it. wall to my sofa is 10.5feet.

to those who have gotten their 37" LCD samsung set from MBF cc promo, can u guys pls let me know how is the performance so far? any pro n cons? i heard outside shops not selling it already. MBF took over the sets. just wanna ask is it as per expected the PQ?

LCD life span is longer (60k on-hours) while plasma is shorter but when i ask the ppl from best (klcc), they say plasma life span longer. which is true? LCD as time goes will have dead pixels no doubt but wut about plasma? burn-in? so i guess both LCD and plasma have its advantages n disadvantages....and lets say u guys have RM5k to spend, wut will u spend on? LCD or plasma? dont tell me get 32" lcd and a home theater set. LOL... just wanna know which type of tv u guys will get. accessories not included. thanks

meaning imported parts but assemble in china. panasonic plasma also the same... the PV70 are now assembling in singapore. but the future units will be assemble in china. price is the same.... sg assemble better or china? i trust our near neighbour better though.... but they can still sell u a china assemble model claiming it as sg assemble. how to differenciate?
