Well, any feedback for LG plasma users here? Any comments?
One of my Hifi kaki told me the ranking of plasma as below:
i) Pioneer
ii) LG
iii) Panasonic
iv) ....etc...

He put LG on 2nd place....is LG better than pana? I need some guide/comments..... pls.....

It is without a doubt that all plasma panels made from Japs are covered under 5 years warranty. Panasonic offering this package as they believed these plasma tv quality are top notch, servicing & maintenance are less likely in the short term although not 100%.

Imagine which manufacturers are willing to charge free service for 5 yrs if they are not convinced of their products after 1 or 2 yrs usage? Furthermore, notice that NOT all models from Panny get this offer.....especially those cheaper panny LCD tv.

I assume it is just his preference.

oh...then is pana will be in 2nd place...?
any idea what's the new model coming up to replace 42PV80H...? any new feature? thanks.

(Strictly Pana PV80 vs LG PG60) Design-wise and features the LG beats Pana. However the image retention problem on PG60 is a bit obvious (disappear slowly). Whereas on the Pana the IR disapper more quickly. Also, the after-sales Pana is better than LG (based on experience with customer service). Warranty, Pana offers 5yr while LG used to offer 2-yrs but recently offered 5yr.

Thanks for your sharing and input....really appreciate that....that's a good point/advice for me....thx.....

Based on sales people, initially they planned for April, but may be delayed to June. (but with bad economic outlook, dunno when exactly) New model - less power consumption, contrast ratio double of the current one. So may be 2,000,000 : 1 CR

the specs you listed seems similiar to the Neo Plasma announced earlier by Panasonic ... If that is true then it won't be cheap

Added on February 26, 2009, 2:55 pmBesides the points by aiz1j, comparing PV80 & PG60 side by side, I noticed images in PG60 have more details and is sharper but the IR and reflection for PG60 is really kind of serious by today's plasma standard.

and if you had read the earlier posts, probably you would notice how I disgust the LG's customer service, so I won't repeat that here ..

Neo Plasma?...oh....new technology?.....wont be cheap?...OMG, then how about the 42PV80H....no more production for this model right? now they're clearance for this 42PV80H, right?....hmmmm....i'm not sure wanna wait for the new model or just pick the 42PV80H.....also...thinking either to get 50PV80H...hehe..... any comments?

Hopefully the new Panasonic models would be cheaper. Remember the 50 inch when it was priced at RM18,000 just last year or the year before? Nobody even looked at it.

Then Panasonic Malaysia learnt its lesson and priced accordingly.

i did lah (probably other brand). i looked at the price - shake head and moved to the next one in line. but the i think it was the RM18K was the Pioneer Kuro. Panasonic was never that expensive. not in 2008 anyways

what harry? bushy izzit? harry - body hair - bushy body hair but certain part of the body

I too remember. It was 2007. 50 inch Panasonic was RM19,999 whilst other brands were half the price. It was definitely wrongly priced as it was only US$2000 at that time in the US.

Then when they launched the PV80, suddenly it went to RM9999.

What a joke!

Morning you guyz. I'm planning to get Samsung 46" Lcd LA46A950 anytime soon. And currently i'm having difficulties to get good complete surround system. Heard that Sony is good but the lens is super sensitive (Which I hate it). Alternative, is Samsung for me. Any other recommendation from all you fine people?

Thankz in advance

means that RM18k~RM19K is not PV80H model....so what's the model for the RM18K~RM19k? Maybe is full-HD model...coz now the 42PY800 is about RM6k which I asked last month....

what's ur budget? plan to go Tru-HD/lossless audio?

Overall less the RM15k. Preferably simple set up. I will always go for Samsung LCD TV (No doubt) and puzzling part is the home theater. I think I will bypass Sony since the lens so sensitive . Any suggestions boss ?

Btw, i saw at Lowyat plaza 5 floor Display a movie. Look so 3D. How does it get that?

1st of all... don't call me boss coz i only ta kong chai

Assuming 15k is ur budget for HT (not including TV), u can get a nice separate setup. Get an AVR (Onkyo/Denon/Yamaha/Marantz) + 5 or 7 speakers (depending if u go 5.1 or 7.1 setup) and get a nice sub (velodyne is most common & affordable ~3k).

so... AVR = 4k, Sub = 3k, Speakers= 5k, balance 3k for BD player & cables.

Are saying 5th floor here. Which shop, I may go to have look this weekend.

Sorry Boss oo I mean Bro . RM15k including TV lor. You are making things complicated for me. On your end custom or rojak version I good and suits you. On my end big nono. I prefer to go fully home theater all under one brand. That's me. I just feel safer by default setting and I trust they already did their RnD. Yes it's my lose.

I just need opinion on what brand to go for full home theater system under one brand.

Thankz again man and sorry to complicates things here
