can sumone tell me any shop with best deal for LG plasma TV PG20 series?
and also the pana PV80V and PV8V plasma TV....
PM me or just tell in the forum..
that would be fine..
appreciate your help guys .....

Tenable,
TQ for compliment but i'm not sifu lah as just cari makan only.
Yes,HDMI v1.3 are more vivid color or natural compare to older version.Pana HDMI are older version at PV8H and PV80H but PY800H are version 1.3.LG PG20 spec are better than PG10,correct me if i'm mistaken.
As i had Sharp 37" LCD(100Hz) in just couples mths ago thus i love to view more on Plasma tv.And i would say that i regret earlier which did not compare with Plasma.Put side by side to compare will known the results but not 100% as both Plasma internal configuration setting are different unless you have to enter service mode code to tune the color setting.

Are you sure that Pana PV80H is not HDMI 1.3, i read somewhere that it is already 1.3 as 1.3 with Deep Color ws released in June 2006. Review of the LG PG20 series http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/lg-...7-32863632.html

Err... Bro Gsdev.You may double confirm whether Pana PV80H are HDMI v1.3 or not.Corrrect me if my mistake.If confirm that Pana PV80H are HDMI v1.3 then it will be better for those.Cheers for those will get Pana.

check tis out : Samsung 7,8,9 series

nxt wave of new LCD TV's coming tis end year....

got a quote from SS2

PV8 at RM3630
PG20 at RM3500

here most recommended PV8, but yet some recommend PG20..sigh..can't make decision, and there is rumors that Astro will be transmitting fullHD next year...so should i play the waiting game?

I did read somewhere that it is HDMI 1.3, I think htkaki also confirmed this some time back. Anyways to fully use the 1.3 the source has to be able to support it too, which i think all new ones do.

gsdev, it has already dropped. By quite a lot too. 40" Full HD is now slightly above RM4.1K mark. 46" even more tempting.

The Samsung Raya promo ends on 19.10.2008

PG20 = 2 years
PV8 = suppost to be 5 years, but from the forum ..seems they are not the authorize seller..so the 5 years kinda skeptical

yeah ! congratulation now already v3

ya,one of astro senoir staff also told me Astro 'll be on HD coming soon (duuno how soon cos they actually discuss this HD thingy since early this yr) but dunno it's FullHD or 720p.According to him,Astro HQ oledi install the "machine" which can provide HD format program,should be very soon ....

think the standard of HDTV broadcast around the world is still 720p.........highly doubt Astro gonna skip the 720p and go directly into 1080p....

I read somewhere in Low Yat forums that some one bought from Legend did not have the warraty card but panasonic mailed it to the buyer. It looks like it does not matter where you get it from. The 5 years comes with it.

Just to share interesting articles esp on plasma tv power consumption

hahaha...dun expect it..coz we kno who is astro...dun think of 720p le...now wanna make it clear lik crt tv oso hv problem

Not sure if PG20 got this thing or not, but if you buy PG60 from Desa HT, you will get 4 years total. 2years from LG and extra 2 years from Desa's insurance (with 1st year being All-risk warranty). meaning

1st year --> LG (plus Desa All-risk warranty)
2nd year -->LG
3rd year --->Desa
4th year --->Desa


Just got 42PG60UR from them and both my wifey and I are very happy with the PQ eventhough its only through components. Will try HDMI input next.




aiz1j,


Will be posting some pics soon once I got time to take them. Just watched Corpse Bride last night, PQ and blackness was very good although can't match Kuros. At half the price of a Kuros, I ain't complaining.



Regards.

so what do you think?..IMHO i think astro should be going for 720p rather than 1080p.

I only hope that it goes to 480p. If Astro goes 720p, expect to pay exorbitant fees for it.
