err.. go for 46A950... at least it's bigger than 40" Contrast is better

wah.. version 4 already!

i'm still toying around with the settings in my PV80.. DVE disc haven't arrived yet.

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.

yeah..maybe have to specify which type of milk....hehehe...

what irony to start off the comment with 'cant compare apple to durian' and then the next few sentence comparing purchasing electronics with milk.

bro you using panasonic 42pv80 rite ? how was it when watch astro compare to panasonic 42lz80mk ?
that day i go to the shop to see between this 2 model, the plasma is more clear, the full hd lcd a bit blur...
the shop ppl quote me rm3300

Just bought a LG entry level 32inch LCD TV yesterday at Tesco (got 5% rebate on Tesco RHB CCard), model: LG32LG30RA-TA.

Me really dunno anythings about LCD TV, see cheap just bought it price at RM1688 (Free Tesco Cash Voucher RM100), using Tesco RHB CCard on last weekend got 5% rebate. Club Point: 884.

RM1688-RM100-RM84.40= RM1503.60

I also dunno why i bought it, i go tesco yesterday actually is to go buy Sandisk 4GB tumbdrive few unit one, but the Computer section guy go back liao coz i go after 10pm. saw this LCD TV, then buy lo............

is this price okay ah???? is this model good.
I buy this is for my PC usage more one......

Hi, for the normal dvd movie, if I use normal RGB cable vs Composite cable vs HDMI cable, will they give PQ different?
or alll will be same PQ since the dvd movie source is not good?
I will purchase Plasma TV soon....but just wonder the PQ will be better if I purchase the composite cables for my DVD player to Plasma tv or should I purchase HDMI player in future?
Need help pls!! 

Just puchased the 42PV80H, is new set...
check the tv status and shown...
000000:00  and count 0000003 (on and off during setting).
Experience on this plasma, not much thing can play like I expected early...little bit disppointed...anyway, will take more try for few day!!

One more thing, I found that when I play the DVD movie, with different cable like Composite Cable(RCA: Yellow, Red, White ) vs Component cable (Green, Blue, Red), the movie quality is no different.... why?

Only one I see so far is the RM138 made-in-china model still available at Tesco. Dunno how good is the cheapo upscaler though. Probably better to just buy a good progressive scan DVD player with some decent component cables and let your TV do the upscaling.

Or just add a few more bucks to RM369 and buy a Pioneer DV410 or Philips 5996 (both with free HDMI cables).

People with a new plasma/lcd tv... don't la be stingy on cables or players. The TV is probably only 30% of the equation, the other 70% of the PQ is your source/player/cable. A BD player will make even a 42LG53FR look good. And a china-brand dvd player, pasar malam dvd and in-the-box composite cables will still make your 42PV80 look crappy.

wah if 42PV80 at RM2200 only i wanna buy la haha

Panel is one thing, electronics behind it is one thing and the SOFTWARE & PROCESSOR is another thing.

I am looking for plasma TV, I have narrow down to 2 model of about the same price, Panny TH-50PV80 and LG 50PG70UR.

Need some help on deciding which 1 to go with....   Based on spec, LG's seems to be better, but they look about the same in show room (with HD source)

The main usage is for watching astro.

so far after going for a 3 hour demo from another lowyat reseller on

Plasma vs LCD

Plasma just killed LCD in every situation possible

eg : Karaoke Text , Sports (blurring) , Underwater colour (over exposure) , Black demo , skin colour demo, refresh rate demo, gaming , PQ , brightness, lifetime, power consumption and many more =.=

of course, the wallet kills too but i think plasma is worth the investment , at least something that will last 5 - 10 years or so

wah you dun scared after LCD supporter come chase you.. 

either that or Panasonic don't lnow how to price properly. In overseas, both more or less same price and not one double the price of the other.

Moral of the story, the 42 inch Pana LCD is worth it in Msia

40' ? I got my 32' Series 6 for RM2850~ According to what i've observed from Sony Style, 100hz and 200hz makes movie look fake.The movement is just too smooth but mayb its good for sports.

im interested in Panasonic 42PV80h but it has no HD ready....

Wouldnt LCD be a better choice for Full HD Gaming and Bluray disc?

Panasonic 2009 Plasma TVs are shipping now in the US.

http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electro...000000000005702

Seems that HD ready series (X1 series 720p entry level - replacing PX80 or PV80 in Malaysia) pricing is lower than prev generation. Last time they introduced 42" PX80 at USD999, now 42" X1 at USD899. Featuring 2mil:1 dynamic CR or 30,000:1 (native CR). Previously 1mil:1 dynamic or 15,000:1 native. Also offering lower power consumption and 600Hz subfield drive. I edited - X1 series doesn't offer the neo-PDP panels, only S1 and higher series.
