R7 black levels are BAD!!!! If u have a choice, don't get it.
R8 is not too bad..just the reds are over exaggerated but that can be solved by reducing the individual color levels.

Me waiting for PV80. I sure hope i don't have to wait long.

Wow, sure signs that the PV70 is gonna be phased out soon.

Prices for the new line of Panasonic Plasmas are out.

Guess I'll aim for the TH-42PZ80U. 1080p for USD1600. Cool!!

^ There's always hope right?

First Panasonic PX80 (successor to the PV70) review is out but in german. Link below translated with Google.

Don't listent to rx330, he's a Panasonic freak

aiya, then how come u ended up with a PV70 instead of a Kuro?

Shumacky : Wait a little longer.. when PV080 gets released, the PV70's price will drop like dead flies.. I believe a PV70 should be better than all the models that u've mentioned.

Err..guys, anyone of u know about the Sony KLV-46W400A ??
I've practically given up the prospect of getting the Panasonic PV80. I'm thinking of getting a 1080p display and doubling it as my PC screen (I only do occasional surfing..most of the time turning it on to BT only).

I can't seem to find any reviews on it. Will be getting it most likely in June/July. Hopefully the price would have fallen more by then.

The PX80? Its already out in Malaysia? I would like to look at one..even though I've more or less decided on a KLV-46W400 now.. where did u get u'rs?

The KLV-40W400A is a tad small esp when u consider most mid-sized screens are at 42". Having said that, I just came back from Midvalley after spending about 2hrs looking at the W400 series. I have to say the PQ is very good..well, at least for me. Colors look pretty nice and not over poweringl.

On a side note, the KLV-46W400W can be had for RM 9300. Fingers crossed, if my cousin takes my 32" Samsung R8 tomorrow, the KLV-46W400W will be mine very soon.

Hey rx330,
the Sharp 46" A63 (full HD) is only RM 8400

yes the Sony W400 is fullHD too.

I got my iRobot Blu-ray today..to bad I don't have a 400A to play it on now.. Arghh..

I've never really seen a Sony D series..most shopping centers don't carry it right?

The Panasonic PV80 is out and they have a road show @ Sunway Pyramid. 42" PV80 retails at RM4949. Very nice PQ.. better design than the 'older' PV70.

Full HD at RM4949?? It'll sell like hot cakes. Too bad its only HD ready.

Hey RX, ask u a question. Lets say I give u 2 choice

1) 42" Panasonic PV80
2) 40" Sony KLV-40W400A

Yes I know the Sony is more expensive but please ignore the price in this case.

Which will u choose? It will be used to play BDs, DVDs and of course, regular PS3 gaming.

I have a hard time deciding between the 2.

The 40W400A is retailing for ~RM7000. To get or not to get?

What do u guys think..will the Panny PZ80 make to here in Malaysia?

Yes I know, I plan to use my TV as my PC monitor too and 1080p makes a huge difference when u use to do occassional surfing. Anyway, I think I'll make my purchase real soon.. I'm basically free from CC debt now. Time to be in debt again.

Yeah, it gets tedious when u keep having to transfer files to the thumbdrive to watch it on the PS3.
Anyway, the PV80 is bad with the PC?

I took the plunge and bought the Sony 40" W400. So far, I'm very happy with it.

Gonna connect my notebook to it later with HDMI try to surf the net with it.

^ Design not bad la.. Actually the Sharps are more suited to my taste. Anyway, very happy with the W400. Celine Dion has never looked so good..
