Hi,

I am planning to look for a new Plasma TV. At first, I set my sight on the 42PV80h. However, since the new model is out, I am holding it back.

Any significant different between this 2 model? I still do not have time to check out the new model. So hope to get some opinion here

Pros: Better contrast, better PQ, better color reproduction, better design & cheaper.

Cons: 3 yrs warranty only compared to PV80 5 yrs

W00t, nobody actually bought it yet?

bro, mentioned in earlier postings. cafee bought it. His unit arriving tomorrow. Barricade in less than 2 weeks time. That's a bit of long wait there.

[WTS] Pana new 42X10K - RM3,900(Free SDR-S26)


how much if without that 'free' gift?

i tot retail is 3699?

I think the real gain on the 42X10 over 42PV80 is the 30000:1 vs1 15000:1 contrast ratio. I'm sure there is some visual difference but you need to setup both system on same source to see the diff if its worth the RM700.

But seems like a lot of hot deal going on now with Redang trip thrown in, and freebies. So you need to determine if its worth it.

I saw the 42X10, and it spot new border frame which is a lot more curvy and shiny and very reflective so its a tad annoying. The stand is not swivel anymore. Its fixed.

4K price is + a Panasonic Video Camera + + +

me think Panasonic is giving a grace period for dealers to clear out PV80++. Once that period is over, you will see dealers removing the freebies and selling the X10 sets at prices

did nt check the stand. Ants looked nice on it

the camcorder seems pariah

wah. i thought 720p capable - to suit the 720p res of x10

Get the camcorder separately lah

I'd put a 100 bucks on the fact that when the new 42X10 comes around, there'll still be people here telling us that "The old pv80 is better, warranty is longer, bezel is less reflective" or shit like that when in actual fact, they are beating themselves up for not being capable of owning the new one... trust me, its already happening.

It is better to accept the fact that there are things out of your league, but telling us an obsolete product is better, you really need your medications.

the camcorder is selling for >1100 with a free SD card outside

Wonder if they deduct the camcorder out how much will it be.

Yes new model will always come with improvement at a price, but not every new replacement model are superior to the previous model in terms of market perception and selling! Its the value perception that dictate the selling! The 42X10 is a bargain since its priced at 3.7k brand new vs PV80 at about 4.2k but if the 42PV80 can be had at 2.8k its an entirely different story!

Don't make things complicated as it is not. Forget about PV80 price when it is first launched. It was years ago and the old price doesn't even do justice for the market now. There is no comparison to be done now, Panasonic stop producing PV80, X10 is the replacement, nuff said. In a few weeks more, PV80 will be erased from retailer pricelist. It is simply not available to purchase anymore.

For now, PV80 @ RM2.8k, I can get X10 @ RM3k. No point stating the 3.7k price because that is the RSP. Only dumbass will buy at big crook store such as SenQ/Harvey Norman etc because they're selling at RSP. If you ask outside from those reseller like Legend, Desa, X10 is only around 3k for cash term!

don't even bother with the camcorder, I had the same one, quality is so bad!

RM2,900 cash.

where can I buy it for RM2900 cash?
