Indeed !

But I wil try the PY800H Full-HD with my PS3 later tonight at one of the leading Pana shop in PJ.

Dunno it's nice on the 1080p gaming for MSG4 and GT5 Prologue or not besides BD playback and 1080p upscale DVD playback blush.gif

Overheard the price tag was around RM6.9K

Guys. stay tune for my field reports.

Tested on BD playback on Sammy Concert - Excellent PQ
Tested on Astro - far better than any LCD in S-Video input
Tested on PS3 - A bit better then the 8/80H and more fine due 1080p panel. Quite close to Full-HD LCD but.... just brows.gif

Unfortunately, NO sound from the unit..... sweat.gif Reason behind was Audio in PS3 set to Bitstream unsure.gif

Anyway, this is the poor man version of those who wish to own "Pionxxr" Plasma and of course both comes with the Made In Japan price tag whistling.gif

Overall - thumbup.gif & wub.gif it !!

From my point of view, it should be the Panasonic TH-42PY800H (SRP:RM7999). Pioneer does not have any HD Plasma here in Malaysia at the moment.
My own question:

Does anyone have experience playing SD DVDs on a Plasma using either the PS3 or any Blue-Ray player? Need to know whether the upscaling built into these players are any good and are able to make watching normal DVDs bearable.

CUrrently thinking of buying the Panasonic Plasma TH-42PY800H and a PS3 (as a blue ray player) and a Denon 2930 DVD player to play normal dvds. Just afraid there might not be that much difference in picture quality between the PS3 and the Denon when playing SD DVDs.
*
The DVD upscaling was ok for those 760p HD recording via PS3.

BTW, the x.v.colour improved the 1080p playback in BD blush.gif

Again, the HDMI cable really play an important role in providing better PQ. whistling.gif

hmmmm same goes to 37 rite? or the retail price dropped d? correct me if i wrong,

37lx800 = rm 3999
37lx80 = rm 3699
one of the thing tempted me about the panasonic full hd is the 480hz+high contrast, since it has double up the contrast of the pv80, creating my curiosity to plug my ps3 on it and test on this weekend, wondering how 3D will it be especially watch ham tai .... lol
*
Just want to share, PS3 1080p gaming seems "display" almost the indentical on the PY800H and PV80 but you will get a bit "better/smoother" on the PY800H perhaps not significant.

x.v.color features seems not working well... cry.gif

I will suggest you to send the HDMI signal in 1080p to a HDMI Switch to both model from PS3 like playing GT5/MSG4 which you may see the "difference". BTW, which "shop" that you may "test" on this weekend ? blush.gif

On the other hand, PY800H playback better PQ for BD movie. No doubts. whistling.gif

For me, I'm still waiting for the new Sony S and V Series of 40" Full-HD LCD - in order for me to make my final decision on this month end or early July. wink.gif

lol.

i think the best choice is still 42PY800.

you cannot compare plasma tv with LCD tv lah

i got display 42PV80 and 46A550 side-by-side at shop. well, A550 immediately turn me off when i play Planet Earth BD.
the picture noise is so obvious. i doubt sony Full HD has the similar weakness.

between 42PY800 and 42PV80, you barely notice the difference.unless you play PS3 winning eleven then only u see something nice.  flex.gif

Paying different price tag for PY800H, of course come with diff expectation besides Made In Japan. Nevertheless, 5 years warranty is a good deal.

Bear in mind, Plasma comsumed more power than LCD though ! wink.gif

40" S Series Full-HD - RM4999
40" V Series Full-HD - RM5499

Player used : 40GB PS3 (House Provided) icon_idea.gif

PS3 1080p Games - Perfect ! thumbup.gif
1080p BD Concert - Perfect but a bit artifitial wink.gif
1080p upscale on DVD movie recorded in 760p - Pretty OK
Astro - Expected to be sucks !! vmad.gif

and it's proudly Made In M'sia nod.gif

Now, should I go for Pana PY800H or S/V Series Full-HD (as I can get special price as well) flex.gif

32LE8 = RM2199
32A330 = RM1999

i am sorry but i dont get the logic !

please dont buy too much into the FULL HD crap!

42PY800 is around RM8K similar price to the 50PV80. I suggest you get the 50" plasma. Firstly, we are going digital in what year? 2010? By the time there is HD transmission in Malaysia, the HDTV probably kaput already. Or if you are okay only getting your HD source from amazon, so be it. But then the 50"PV model should do remarkably fine on BD.

there is just no comparison for LCD vs Plasma! The reason the LCD is still around and not totally pushed out of the market is because they are cheaper! With plasma now getting cheaper, LCD's time is near!

furthermore


ANYONE from the industry can tell you that 1080p is not what separate PV800 with PY800. As Sunauto, HTkaki and any other people who sale HDTV, they will say its the step gradation (blackness) and the contrast ratio that are separating the model. Industry experts said said ratio and gradation come before resolution in plasma!

The reason that PY800 picture looks better is because PY800's contrast ratio is 2x that of PV800 and the gradation is more than 1K more.

PV800 = 15,000 native contrast, shades of gradation = 4,096
PY800 = 30,000 native contrast, shades of gradation = 5,120

I would jump on a PV800 with 30,000 native contrast, shades of gradation = 5,120 but not FULL HD anytime!
read above
LCD is good because its cheap. that is the only advantage! Plasma can do HDTV programming with no problem!

You really need a 1080p Panel

Media Source : Blu-Ray
Player : Like.No.Other PS3
Panel : 1080p Plasma


In order to accomodate both Astro Viewing and 1080p gaming/movies rclxm9.gif

Hence, PY800H is the only choice for 42" segment which come with 5 years warranty. Again, come with Made In Japan price tag as well blush.gif

apparently, the 'war' of 46A550 vs 42PV80 really brings so much of arguments.

it seems that PV80 has lower grade panel than A550 which is full HD panel.

and i have these 2 models on display side-by-side, direct comparison.

many customers expect that A550 surely is a winner (before i switch on PV80 and A650) due to the marketing sticker as it looks so cool. (both TVs at original setting, no cheating)

however, the moment i play the full HD format video clip, the customers start to notice the kecacatan of A550 in term of the colour. movement, and brightness compared to PV80.

after showing the astro channel and video clips to customers, 10 out of 10 customers go for PV80 or PY800 series.

and those who desire to get a full HD tv (donno LCD or Plasma decision), after they see how PV80 performs better than A550, even though PY800 is not placed next to A550, they have no hesitate to confirm PY800 model.

this is the customer case in my shop.

according to the latest GfK report, Panasonic Malaysia 'sapu' 60% of the Plasma TV market.

the remaining 40% consists of Pioneer, Samsung, LG and Hitachi

you can show how x.v.color™ option kicks-in in PY800H as compares to A550 - when u playback BD from PS3. icon_rolleyes.gif

But unfortunately, PY800H dun have Deep Color™ feature. blush.gif

Haven't really tested it kau kau yet but so far tested the picture quality using Sony's HDMI DVD player. The PQ is nice and i have no regrets getting/waiting for this model hehe

Anyway do u guys know how to find out the display hour of the LCD? i haven't really read the manual yet so forgive me if its something that is inside the manual sweat.gif
