hello all sifus, i just recieived my panasonic 42" PV8HM yesterday night from best denki. actually it's a display unit at the megamall road show just ended on sunday. i bought it for rm3399 with hdmi and s-video cable. the unit also come with 5 years warranty.

actually this is my first attempt buying a display unit....had many doubts but since the unit was displayed for 5 days only at the road show and i decided to go for it...check thoroughly during the delivery time...everyting looks ok...especially the display which i moct concerned.

well, that's what they told me during the purchase. he explained that panasonic always open up new unit for any road show and then clear the unit at discounted price...they won't allow any display unit from the best denki outlet to be displayed at panasonic road show...so i trusted him....

now i have two slim tv in my house, the panny 42" pv8 in my living room with panny home theater and a Samsung S8 37" lcd in my master bedroom. and i notice that the panny is clearly have better PQ than the Samsung s8. even my wife don't want to watch astro with the Samsung...

Checked with my Panny 42PY8, guess what, no fan was installed compared to AskDS' Panny. One less problem to worry about..hehe..

Full HD model => more pixels => consume more power => produce more heat => fans installed. Betul kah?

I agree with you, must use it kao kao....especially under warranty period, if anything goes wrong, can repair without any cost ma....after 5 years, there is a good possibility of changing to a better plasma tv...hehe

Yup, no fan in my panny. But can feel the heat when you stay near to it.

This thread will soon become Panasonic Plasma TV Owners Discussion Thread.

Recently, I shifting my brand selection from Panasonic to Philips...I bought Philips rice cooker...Philips juice extractor...even considering to buy the Philips Sound Bar....Philips Universal Remote Control...

aghhh...what am I thinking??

True enough....PQ of the PV8 is far better than my Sammy 37" LCD tv that I have.

I own a PV8 but I dunno how the CATS will effect the PQ...I only can tell you that the PQ of PV8 is far better than my sammy LCD...
