PQ wise, of course LG is only moderate if to compare to those more well-known brands. You mean the latest Panasonic PV70 plasma?

Not the latest model. Model PA60 if i am not wrong. I prefer the plasma but worry the life spent and burn in effect.

LG plasma is quite reliable, got mine on Jan-2006 and its working fine until now.

Ok bro, will consider LG plasma since it's about 1k cheaper. Does burn in easier to happen during your usage? Currently 42" LG plasma got model 42PC1R, 42PC3RV and time machine 42PC1RR.

Lifespan is 60,000 hours for Plasma and with 8 hours per day, it can simply last around 20 years, that's a very long time, who knows, you might have changed another model by then. The burn in effect is a thing of a past as the latest technology prevents these burnt in issues like Hitachi's Alis technology. The only difference is the backlight for LCDs are replaceable but to be honestly, if LCDs also last about 60,000 hours, if 20 years later, I seriously doubt that spare parts are still available for a 20 year obsolete model so to be honest, the backlight of a LCD can be replaced won't be perceived as an advantage in actual usage.

Burn-in is not so easy to happen unless you are watching for long hours everyday, which is not really possible. If you interested in LG, PM me.

Btw, I find Pana PV70 PQ is quite good even on Astro signal. Tried Wah Lai Toi using the 'stretch mode'. juz as found in Sharp. Picture looks good.

Thanks guys for your kind help. I just bought a LG Plama this morning 4k+ cash. Enjoying now.

Which model and where did u buy it? Any discount?

42PC3RV, the model that selling 4999 at HSL. Got it 4.2k by cash at Sarawak.
The Plasma 10Wx2 speaker sound a bit low bass comparing my Sony CRT's speaker but more function like user define equalizer. But is ok since i can connect to my home theather system sometimes.

Good to hear that you finally bought it. The SD plasma really a bargain right now since the HD plasma price has dropped.

Some plasmas have audio out, if yes, you can connect to an external active subwoofer like those from Yamaha & B&W.

Yes bro, got 1 variable audio out for that purpose.

Thanks. Will upgrade to Full HD panel when RTM/Satelite TV implement the HD channel or when Blueray/HDDVD more common in the market. That time the price should be more stable already.

Maybe you guys already knew about this Samsung LCD TV promotion from MBF card. Good deal from them just the terms and condition bit troublesome.

If not mistaken, it is abt RM2.2K-RM2.4K+.

I think Warfey's SW250 is better
comes with remote too and the sub is shooting downwards

too bad no $$ so using wharfey's center speaker only
