panasonic these days much better liao.. pioneer is too expensive , not to mention 5 year warranty

nowadays 42 panny is so cheap =.=

Pioneer plasma black level always becomes the 'reference' for other plasma and lcd. Even though 428XG is one and a half generation behind the current one, it is far ahead of the Hitachi. If they are priced similar to other plasma, Pioneer will surely dominate the flat panel market. But good things always comes at a price. 

i'd rather get the PV80 than the PY800 cause the PY800 is more than double the price. Nowdays can get the PV80 for RM3188 but the PY800 is around RM7000.

The PV80 is HD ready 720p whilst the PY800 is Full HD 1080p.

Usually from Standard Definition (480) to HD Ready 720p got big difference in quality of picture.

But from 720p to 1080p, hardly can notice the difference with your visible eye.

In laymen term Full HD meant u can see all the 'hair' clearly ie more detail while HD ready can still see 'hair' but a bit burr.......   Only buy Full HD if u intended to watch BD.

man, i just bought this Philips 42PFL5403S

the HD Natural Flow did not lag the game at all, and double the frame rate.. anyway, i felt a bit dizzy coz of high frame rate..

Anyone else kind enough to share their experience with the 42" plasma models below:
Panasonic PV80H
Hitachi E120A
LG PG60

Pioneer 428 is out for since it overbudget.

Not to mention at bigger size too

So is it worth it to buy Pioneer 428XG now? I just checked and price quoted is still RM6000 - RM6299. Anyone know where to get this cheaper?
