is it really true the 37AV500E is a newer model? i checked the specs (response time) and its even lower than its predecessor, thats kinda weird.

well i will be using it for gaming as well and i heard that plasmas are not so suitable for that due to the possibility of burn-in.

hehe, right now my budget only permits me to survey the 37" range, also my good ole 29" crt tv kaput already so i guess im ready to splurge at the moment

Dude, there's no such thing as Samsung S-PAV panel. It's S-PVA

Pioneer Kuro 508XG 50" Plasma the cheapest I found in local stores is RM15,000

I agree with that. Adrian, 428XG only RM8,600 now? You know from who lah.

Gee....when will the price drop below RM 10K ? It is still expensive for me.

With that kinda price, I don't think so..

Aiya, same taukeh. Buy from adrian lah if you are looking for Pioneer.

htkaki...u din sell pioneer?

Finally I had a chance to see the award winning latest plasma LG 42PG60UR-TA at Best Denki KLCC. The price is RM4,899. In my opinion the picture was better than Samsung and little better than Pana PV70, (they were not placed side-by-side but quite close to each other). However I couldn't directly compare with Pana PV80 as PV80 was displayed at the front of the store.

Anyway, I tried to compare the LG PG60 and Pana PV80 and found that the picture quality is of similar quality.
Comparing the two, in terms of design PG60 looks more modern and stylish with invisible speaker and fully glass surface. So LG wins.

In terms of connectivity, PG60 offers USB input which can play MP3, JPG and DivX while PV80 has an SD card socket for photo browsing.
PG60 invisible speaker was said to be tuned by Mark Levinson to increase sweet spot but as usual all the TVs on display didn't have their audio turn on. So I couldn't compare the sound.

In terms of menu to 'play' with, the PV80 doesnt have many submenus (this one I tried at Jusco, so I didn't ask for the remote at Bdenki). But PG60 offers more complicated submenus (that's what I think anyway cos there were Gamma adjusment etc which were not in the PV80).
Some extras on the LG inc. PiP (pic in pic) and black level adjustment.

As for goodies, LG seems to have nothing while Pana gives HDMI cable and 5years warranty. LG seems to offer a lot of features which beat Pana. However the best way to do the comparison is watching your own DVD on them side-by-side.

Price : LG PG60 RM4199-RM4899 while Panasonic PV80 RM4300-RM5199
