i m watching from my laptop thru S-Video to Panny PV80, faster n easier.... as for the audio, can hook it or directly play from laptop...

oh, then need wait 2 years..... before this Pana's plasma 5 years warranty....now 3 years warranty.....then next years 2 years.....next 2 years.....1 year warranty??????


oh...since you use laptop, why not using VGA cable? I guess VGA will be better than S-Video...... if you have HDMI, then more than much more better....

yeah, i havent bought the VGA cable temporary using S-Video...

thanks for tips

It is interesting to see that these big screens' prices tumbling. In a way, it is 'affordable' to more consumers. Years ago, these are premium display panels meant for those with deep pockets.

Full HD has never been so affordable. It will be more attractive in near future as better tech and improvements are being adopted.

Just came back from comparing plasmas from panasonic, samsing and LG. Panasonic wins hands down, with very natural color. Was using Mr & Mrs Smith as reference point. Samsung and LG both had rather unnatural brightness and "piercing" colors.
Wanted to get 42"panasonic pv80, but it's already not available from this shop, and he's the cheapest in Kuching, at RM3088. I guess I'll have to wait for the new model (42X10K) now...in two weeks.

BTW, he's selling the 50"pv80 for RM5088 (he's very likely to round up), for those interested.

Cool info. Thanks for sharing the link

Hi my lcd is panasonic tx37lz80mk. this is full hd lcd as on the box with reso of 1920x1080.

Yes, Sam is right. It could be due to HDCP that limits it.

Ya lah, last time, 50 inch was RM30,000 lah. It is so affordable now.

Added on March 31, 2009, 7:35 amDon't forget, road show price is one thing, chinaman (ie like Legend) shop and commontan price is another. Knock off another RM1500 and that would be the chinaman shop price.

So, I won't be surprised it will be RM4K plus during chritsmas sale
