but if the difference is not much between the HD plasma and their Full HD LCD, that tells you that the full HD LCD maybe not that good hence the lower pricing

equally black or equally long and big? which?

you think the new panel price will start at 3k? I doubt it. Surely start at 4k then slowly drop every month.

who says Plasma is dead?

i guess that much...
why they say got new thin TV then? trick ppl go is it?
I guess malaysia will never see anything above x1 series....

This post has been edited by DigitalKL: Mar 26 2009, 08:28 PM

which panny website? not the local panasonic website i dont see any V series - only x, s, and g
and rm13 to rm15k - is this a USD price converted to RM (again did you see this at local panasonic site?)

I dont think this is correct....please check nicely

the V series specs not correct la

not stupid la. they got SD slot so their customers using panasonic camcorders can shoot to their SD card and immediately watch on their panasonic viera ma

very troublesome to plug in the camcorder. Got power and video audio cables. In the end much easier to plug in sd card. And you can even lend your friend to watch instead of handing him the camcorder and cables.

aisey man! when you got them all in HDD, then you use Media Players like WDTV liao. The SD card is for quick preview etc and sharing.
go buy Samsung la, solve all your problems....

anyway with SD slot or USB slot, both useless unless there is a buildin player. like PV80 has a SD slot but no AVCHD "player" - can only view jpeg files, not movies.

Are you sure the Samsung can play movie files? I doubt it but if you say yes then say which model?

rm3999 la, imho not worth it

so going by your logic, if a baby dies, that means he or she must have been the devil....
