just got myself a Panny 42PV80H few days back. it's RM4.3K here in Taiping with free camera, HDMI & s-video cable. was using a 25inch Sony previously and can really feel the difference. got a 2-disc Transformers Ahem BD & played it yesterday. PQ is really good. anyway, really satisfied with the purchase. thanks to all sifus for the recommendations. smile.gif

p/s : PY800 is really nice. but too bad don't have the budget.

Just checking the UK version of Panasonic LX700MK, the 1 main difference is the HDMI input. The UK version got 3 HDMI input, and our Malaysia only got 2 Input. Hehehe. Others are the same.  rclxms.gif

Can I ask about TV Signal Reception in this thread?

It's about my condo built-in wall TV port (coaxial). I don't seem to get the best quality out of it. Would this be my unit problem or its Building Mgmt problem to fix? Where they normally setup the antennas for built-in TV port for Condo ya?
*
the antennas usually are fixed at the top of the condo, that's in my case. get Astro. tongue.gif

I am inclined to believe competition and economies of scale will be a stronger factor than currency that determine the falling prices of plasma or LCD TVs.  And in Malaysia, consumers can enjoy better bargains for mainstream models, especially 32 to 42-inch flat screen TVs.

When the market becomes more mature perhaps in a year or two, I believe consumers will get better "free" gifts like shopping or petrol vouchers, thanks to market forces and not DVD players or digital cameras.  Afterall, which home (in Malaysia) has no DVD player.

What comes next after affordable flat panel TVs obviously will be blu-ray players.  Meanwhile, we watch from the sidelines with "frustration" our US counterparts paying sub-US$300 players while we still have to pay a bomb to enjoy HD content.

I did take advantage of last week's J Card Day at 1 Utama.  Bought a PV80 and besides the 5% discount, there was the RM450 Jusco vouchers (RM10 voucher for every RM100) plus a bonus RM100 Jusco voucher.  Collectively, RM550 worth of vouchers besides the other free gifts - camera, Nike t-shirt, s-video and HDMI cables - and the zero interest installment plan.  Certainly the best buy (for a PV80) in Malaysia.

think the price shouldn't drop any further as it's already quite affordable for a 42" Plasma. even if the price drop more, there might be possibilities that Panny won't manufacture their Plasmas @ SG anymore but at China, when quality might be compromised.

so how much is the approx nett price u bought it minus all the free gifts & vouchers?
