Ok, since i know lot of pple having this model, so it will be convinient to have its own thread to discuss anything related to it.

For those who own it already, Price and shop is not an issue, because it is all now depends on Panasonic Warranty for the next 5 Years.

Please share with us here if you're having problems with warranty claims, technical issues, etc.

adios.

Could anyone please share the Picture Setting.
Mine just graduated over 200hrs.
Thanks

Where and how to check the hours usage?

# Hold down the {VOL -} button ON THE PLASMA TV itself. Not Remote
# Press the {RECALL} button on the remote control 5 times.
# The Service Menu will be displayed.

# Use the {2} buttons to select "SRV-TOOL"
and press the {OK} button to access it.

# HIGHLIGHT the box on the right side of the last option: (Navigate by using the arrow buttons on the remote)
_______________________________________

PTCT :00.00.00.00.00

HIGHLIGHT HERE

# Then press and hold the {MUTE} button on the remote for 3 seconds.

TIME = Hours and Minutes of Operation.
COUNT = Times the Plasma was Powered On.

# To exit, press & hold the {POWER} button on the TV for few seconds.

cool!

hey,

anybody tried the Monster cable with this model? what's the result of improvement with ASTRO?

cheapest now is 2999 rite?

Sir, wait for the latest 2009 model la, PV80 obsolete soon.... just nice for your new mansion.

Oi, do you suggest the pv80 will become more cheap because of the new model(s), or do you mean we should simply wait for the new and improved version...?

3K is about the lowest it will go. The PV80 will be replaced soon with whatever name and I bet it will hit 4k+ price again. Then all these folks will hunker down for the PV80 and no more liao and then hope and wait for next 2 yrs or the new PV80 to drop price every 3 months and the vicious cycle repeat itself!

3K is from those cash and carry or Low yat trader and if yuo want from retailer like SH, Court, Harvey etc it cost at least 3.5k

BTW, the PV80 is 5 yrs warranty. I doubt the replacement will carry that many years of warranty.

So far very happy with the PV80 for the last 2 weeks! Great on Wii, web surfing, Astro, and crappy DVD! Have not tried the HD movie yet. Saving up to buy the WD TV box but I already got the WD Book HD loaded with movies.

i'm interested to get one!

where did you guys get it for RM3k @ 5 years warranty from?

what does the 5 years warranty cover and not cover?

thanks in advance.

Think I throw away the card already! One thing for sure it won't cover any burn in or ghosting on the display!

This same for any Plasma TV.

5yrs warranty is standard for the PV80. Just search here in LYN, you will see the retailers.

lolz of course current owners of pv80 will say this, defending their purchase.really nub:x everybody is waiting for the 2009 model, improved PQ and it will be the same price as discussed in lcd tv thread.why get old model when you can have new?that's why this thread is not active all,face the fact pv80 is going to obsolute.

The pv80 is a great model indeed. Don't worry, you all have amde a good purchase. Like handphones, models change all the time, but improvement is not really that noticeable.

i think we shall wait for the 2009 model to launch before making any statement, the improvement noticable or not we shall all know then. no need to speculate.

Quite true, when PV80 was released it was 4200. It was at least 2 years till it came down again.

It is all about the money. Current 3k is affordable with 5 years warranty is the best deal. By 2013, we can always look forward to a better, improved model.

Not Cover

Thunderstrike & Theft. SH offer 70 for extra cover to Thunder & Theft.

If u dont buy from SH, go to AIG to get the Home Contents insurance. Premium is 180-350, but they insured all your house electrical + furniture.

I don't think so you have to wait 2013. I think by 2011 or latest 2012, a new model would come out again!

Look at Sony, so fast new model comes out!. Nowdays, we cannot keep up to the latest trend as they change models so fast. I think plasma model changes are becoming like handphones.

My warranty finished 2014. Others should be around 2013. Every year got new model.

If 1 TV is enuff for ur home, So after 2013/2014 will start looking for new. Target will be 50" should be affordable also by that time.

So its not a loss buying almost obsolete model if the price is right.

You are right. By that time 50 inch would be much much lower than now. I think 50 inch might even be RM3000
