He told me that plasma can be easy hot, and easy spoile, can not last long. Plasma is old techology, after astro come out with HD, plasma will be a problem, maybe need another device attach on to watch astro. Alot of thing he complain on plasma, untill I'm also influnced by him, so I have to hold my purchase on 42x10k, and get advice from sifu here.
Utterly bulls*it
Plasma tv is HD tv, which will not have problem even Astro goes HD (GOD knows when). For the first time, I came across such ridiculous statement from a so-called salesman. Plasma tv is a different technology compare to LCD TV. Both LCD TV and plasma tv runs hot. LCD TV panel may spoil too (dead pixels) and fragile outer layer. Plasma tv has issue with image retention but superior construction (glass panel) with very nice black level reproduction.
Panasonic plasma tv could last up to 100K hours and comes with 3 yrs warranty for peace of mind. He is bloody unlucky if I am there. One of the guys got a nasty one from me when I was there.
I was there last year while waiting for my customer. Served by a salesboy (looks like punk to me). I was looking at Full HD. Then, he asked what I am interested in. So, I said something for my BD and HD files but need not full HD due to budget.
Guess what is the answer?
He told me, "No use buying a HD ready tv as it wont serve any purpose. BD will not look nice and bla.... bla....bla..."
I blurted, "If watch crappy Astro, a CRT TV would suffice. Why need plasma tv and LCD TV since majority of Malaysian are not watching Blu-ray and only buying DVD, which is only 480p. That means all 720p panels can tapao liao."
What a retard!!!
