I won't ask if I did not see it before on my 1024x768 42inch plasma as well....

anyway, it was not permanent (on my model la).. it was viewed this way for 1month, later got image retention when switch back to full 16:9 for a while, and then it goes back to normal after 1-2 days of full widescreen viewing....

so asking whether PV80 also got this issue..

i wonder how if it wont go back to normal,can claim warranty kah? htkaki,where are u ?

Unfortunately, permanent screen burn in is not covered by any plasma manufacturer. As long as you vary your content meaning 16:9, full screen, 4:3 you should be ok. Most new plasma's are pretty resistant to permanent burn in. Image retention on the other hand is there, but it is not permanent, and will wear off once the screen starts showing some fast moving scenes.

no scare la wan. can ask for some tips as well - if you get my drift..

im playing solely xbox 360 on my 42pv80 no problem at all

always on full screen for 1-2hours , sometimes more

astro is uncommon, bad quality

Anyone can share any info about the "One" brand 40' LCD TV that Tesco selling now? About RM2,500 to get this.

Thanks.

Have you guys noticed Panny PV80 panels are made in Japan? Even the unit is made from S'pore.........

You can see it from the back panel of the tv.

my philips is french made...or was it belgian...

Most Philips are designed and developed in Holland.But Made in China. I saw some Philips panel says at the rear.
Correct me if i'm wrong.

well...mine is french made..

Nice...

didnt come with a french maid though...

LOLZ.

so...is all pana 42" and 50" PV80H made in Japan?.....

where are the prvious posts?? server crashed again ka??

anyway, to my under standing 42PV80 is assembled in S'pore, but the panel and stuff inside is made in Japan. some say that those that comes with 5 years warranty panel are all made in japan..

hmm...i'm wondering what's the new feature for the new model to replace 42PV80H..... and wonder the 50PV80H drop price to 4k.....

There are not many plasma panel manufacturing plants in the world. If I am not mistaken, most of them are in Japan except I believe a few in Korea for now.

think my neighbour just bought the 50" Kuro..LX50 something something...fabrique au Japon....have to visit him hehehe

All 42PV80H and 50PV80H come with 5 years warranty from Panasonic Malaysia

sigh! did you request the hairy french version?
