I just bought a LG PG20 for rm2.8k from a moveout sales. Came with 2 years warranty.

I was comparing the panasonic pv8h and LG PG20 (both 42" plasma) and feeding the same source and i realised, the LG had better detail.

Anyway, on a reality aspect, once u buy it n put on yr living room, it doesn't matter at all as long as u enjoy yr new toy. All the while, i m into getting a LCD but ended up with plasma after consulting with friends who have bought lcd tv. All of them told me to go for plasma instead.

No regret and seriously, i don't think astro is that bad on plasma but definately better than my friends sharp lcd tv.
