As mentioned in my previous post, I got it for RM4.3k. It's an outstation dealer. Excellent deal!

Package: 1 HDMI cable + 5 years warranty.

By the way, pv80h stand cannot swivel.

Very good explaination from the graph. This show that Full HD is not necessary if the distance is not near enough and only above 50" screen will only see significant differences.

my tv rack from my sofa is 11-12 feet. So a 720p is good enough for 42" plasma.

Thanks for the graph!

Yea. Received PV80h yesterday. Awesome. Sorry didn't post yesterday, was busy molesting the plasma...heheheh.

The stand can swivel, but swivel from the bottom. The bottom got wheels.

The PQ is excellent. I still haven't look through the manual completely yet.

But this is the package:

1. Panasonic HDMI cable
2. Panasonic 5 years warranty (stated in the warranty card)

This unit is from Panasonic Malaysia.

My HT-465 home threatre no here yet, so cannot test the 1080p upscale. But I've tried normal component connection DVD playback. the picture is great.

The distance between the TV and my sofa is about 12 feet. So even with 480i still looks very good. You cannot tell.

That MI:3 movie which I download and burn into the DVD. But I can zoom in until cannot see the grey bar.
Some DVD have different widescreen ratio.

Is all widescreen movie should not have grey bar?

Oh yes. This proves what my dealer promises has honoured it. My dealer informed me this package on the 1st day of the Panny Sunway Pyramid roadshow. Never be so sure about anything and do your homework right, especially when you are in this business.

I think I am one of the 1st ppl who get the stock. The dealer manage to get 2 units only and delivered both to me, 1 for me and 1 for my parents.

My dealer is still making money by selling RM4.3k. Imagine HN selling @ RM5199-RM250 without 5 years warranty? You do the math.

HN promises 5 years warranty and later pulled back is bull shit. And the sales people and telling us that HN is giving the warranty. Bull shit again.

Enjoying every second of my pv80h. So satisfied.

I don't understand. My warranty card clearly stated Panny is giving 5 years warranty.
Why HN claims that they are giving the 5 years warranty?

I am surprised to watch Astro on my pv80h. The PQ is excellent. I have seen many LCDs and Plasmas in showrooms and never see such good PQ in my panny. I am really impress.

abahwafi, go get pv80h if you are frequent Astro viewer!

There's a special instructions to clean my panny.

I meant on Astro Connection, PV80h PQ is better. Maybe the showroom uses splitter connections which reduce the PQ.
I am using S video connection. But overall Astro PQ on pv80h surprises me.

Added on April 21, 2008, 10:34 amI've tried using Dell XPS with HDMI connection to PV80h in Sunway Pyramid during the roadshow. The picture is good.
But on action fast moving movies, the picture not so smooth. I suspect it's the notebook problem, because it's running on vista and many times hang.
The resolution is correct for sure on pv80h.

Added on April 21, 2008, 10:35 amSorry, havent's try that yet, because the Panny HT-465 home theatre not here yet.
Should be receiving it this week.

HT-465 is the end lowest range models with 2 tower speaker and 2 small speakers and 1 centre speaker.
It comes with 1080p HDMi upscale and ipod dock and USB port.

The most important to me is Viera Link!

Go to Jusco and get the 08 catalogue. I got mine yesterday in 1U jusco.

My dealer already told me it's 5 years warranty from Panny on the 1st day of Sunway roadshow, dude.
This information was the same as I told you 4.3k for pv80h, and you guys said it's impossible because it's below cost price.

You got the cost price list and yet some dealer still can get this price lower.

I dunno man, I think HN has offended many early buyers during the roadshow if they find out they can get better deal outside.

adrian, did you manage to find out the price from the dealer contact i pm you?

See, my case is not special at all. Other dealers are offering this price.
HN memang cut throat.

Dealer offer 4.3k still makes money. It's just that HN makes more money with higher price.

HN = Harvey Norman

The HDMI cable comes separately. Not together with the box.
Tell HN, you give me the hdmi cable or the deal is off!

You are paying more in HN and somemore no HDMI cable?
Are you nuts?

Sometimes, the sales man keep the hdmi for themselves if they can talk their way out the customers.
