so which Full HD you using?

epson emp-tw2000

is that the 1080UB us model? nice.. one of the best LCDs of Q3-Q4 last year..

yes, this is the european model number...US it is known as the PowerLite Pro Cinema 1080UB.

You are not exposed much and have not travelled much. Malaysian plasma and lcd prices are inflated. See other countries and their prices and you will realise that you do not know much.

Whilst a 52 inch Sharp LCD was sold for RM25,000 (now RM13,999) a few months ago, my friend in the US bought it for US$1199. Now, even can get US$999. My friend in the UK bought it more or less same price. How now can you account for your so called storage, virgin raw materials and profit margin each level of marketing then? Btw, this is a 50KG item.

And a 50 inch Pana plasma is far cheaper in the US. So how lah your theory of raw cost? And that is now. What about 5 years time when penetration is much higher?

So how come the consumer can buy it for US$1199? and yet all those from manufacturer to the marketing levels ie distributor and retailer can still make profit?

Once the penetration increases in Msia and consumers demand more and realise how cheap the flat panels are overseas, prices would drop.

Your comments are based in your small world of just Malaysia. Open your eyes globally.

Friend, your desktop 15 inch LCD was a bomb years ago. Infact, it was like RM5000. Now, you can get a 24 inch widescreen for less than RM900 and a 19 inch for RM400 even.

guys, i just saw a philip 42 inch (42PFL5403) lcd tv for RM 4399.. at alamanda carefour, is it a good deal?

not a good deal. Go to Harvey Norman and you can get the New Pana LCD 42 inch for RM3899. (Friend bought one in Pavillion). And its shockingly 1080p!

you still haven't show me where got RM999 50inch plasma.. talk to me again when that comes reality..

philips model number 42PFL5403.....think should get at least starting with 7 (in the place of the 5 in the model number) 7 or 9. those are better.

how to show you when I said one day, meaning the future. Tak tahu baca kah?

Basic reading also don't know but want to ask hundred and one times where the RM999 50 inch plasma is.

you are not that bright are you?

Is it THIS model?.. If it is.. the one I mentioned is better...

amazing how someone can argue so convincingly about what that didnt happen yet like it's 100% true, you came from the future kah?

wa lau.. 66yrs old d, better control ur blood pressure dude

If you learn how to read properly, you will see or decipher that I was referring to the future. Friend, learn to read first before jumping your gun.

Who said today ie now, gor RM999 50 inch plasma?

But i saw at the display, they put side by side with othe models.. which also include that panasonic model... the philip one stands out.. i nyaris2 beli on the spot just now ... so, i'm here now to ask other opinion..

philips make pretty good LCD TV.....i had similar experience 2.5years ago..when i was all set to get the sony...and then a humble philips sitting next to it shows a better picture from the same feed.

true also. Philips makes for Bang & Olufsen also. Believe it or not!

And if Bang and Olufsen say they are that good, then they mean it!

Go for Philips bro, it is as good or better than Pana
