Hi Clngu possbile to get HN price as well? The price others offer seems to be lower (I got quoted from UnHuat - the shop (owner) get Panny Caravan roadshow at W.Maju for the Pioneer is much lower then the one you posted....... maybe you are sharing the MSRP ?? for 508XG should be 2K cheap at least & 428XG should be 1K chaeper at least.....)

Some info for Pio 9G

do check the others latest model launch (inclusive of Panny & Sammy latest model & its problem.....)

clngu, if you read thru, they do mentioned the 8G is 80% inproved from 7G and same applied to 9G over 8G......

On another forum (given link, just go to main forum) also comparing Panny 80(the darkness) vs LG PG60, also comments from new Panny, Sammy plasma user as well........

Do notice 5th May 08 will be global anouncement thus, 13th May 08 is the launching gala (dinner), 15th May 08 will be hitting their market...... (Maybe to catch up the Euro & Olympic band wagon.... rather then their usual year-end launching......)

Added on April 22, 2008, 9:28 pmMy personal opinion, I will go for Sharp A63 rather than Samsung N81 (though size diff).
Originally I'm also going for SharpA63 but later switch to Samsung F81 now........ uncertain coz now price like diarrhea "low sai"(still holding for price drop.......) coz hell lotsa new model launching from LG...Samsung... Panasonic... Sony.....to Pioneer...

Maybe u want to look at those new model? like Samsung A650 (for Full HD). Coz those two model u menioned didn't support 1080/24p and now 100/120Hz support (thiugh Sharp should be better at 4ms response time then the N81... 8ms).......

clngu, fL level of LG PG60 is equals 0.0084fL. which is very impressive and is basically equal(lost abit) to the 11G Panasonics(0.009fL) but nether can beat the 8G Kuros with their 0.004fL rating....and dont even think about comparing these to the upcoming 9G Kros with 0.001fL and better minimum luminance levels."

Note : fL = foot-lamberts, measurement related to the brightness of a particular image and is equal to 1 lumen per sq. foot of screen surface.

Anyone have the latest price of the 50 inches Panny (both 80 & 800)?

http://www.panasonic.com.my/web/pcatId/CatLev3/550

Maybe due to the price factor which limits our interest (for average consumer like me....) therefor it leave us not much choices...... but just those lower price model....

Just check the latest price for Pio 428, there are selling for s$2999 (approx RM69XX) but in M'sia we still get around RM86XX... sad though...

Same goes for the PV8 for s$1799 (plus 5 yrs, s$500 voucher) & PV80 for s$2199 (plus 5 yrs, s$500 voucher) from HN HD road show......

Check this out， price quoted in USD$,

and

4,000.00 USD = 12,865.51 MYR

if info is true then LX508 shld be below than the LX509 intro price (U.S code is 5020, USD 4000)...then 508XG shd be even lower..... so do 428XG

Wow just imagine LX509 Malaysia price is around RM18K (as normal we pay higher price then others country) then.... LX508 for RM12K....508XG for below RM10K then 428XG should be below RM6K..........

Note : Exchange rate : 1 USD = 3.21638 MYR

Juz check the current contest form of Panasonic, it has been stated it worth MSRP RM7999.00 so it should below that after usual discount from retailer.

Kuro 9G launch in UK, 509 cost only £2400 (508 cost them £4200, though can be bought at £2700).......
