Discussion about the new 2009 model TH-P42X10K. My unit is reaching me in 2 weeks, already ordered. Can't wait.

This post has been edited by Barricade: Apr 22 2009, 08:33 AM

how much u bought?

lauching price rm3699 + freebies

Any idea what freebies they giving out?

free redang accomodation(4 day if i not mistaken)+nike jessey + cables

quite worth it. The redang thing is worth a few hundred ringgit. Much check the hotel though. Suddenly see, crap hotel pulak

At RM3,699 + freebies it's a good deal coz last time PV80 was launched at RM4299.

yep! I think Panasonic latest pricing is very good for the consumer. At least its a good reduction from PV80 back some moons ago when its launched!

I'm hoping 5 yrs from now, 50in plasma with full HD to be about same price...or even earlier....perhaps

Would love to see how much improvement does this model have compared to PV80.

One thing for sure, this 2009 design looks more attractive to me, my HM had been complaining about PV80's fugly design everytime I told her I wanted to get that for her Astro.

PV80 was retailed at RM3999 before PX10 was launched. And you managed to buy it at RM2999. Now the PX10 was only retailed at RM3699, asked an electrical shop in SS2, cash term will be less than RM3k. No point comparing purchased price with RSP.

RM3k cash free Nike Jersey + HDMI cable + S-Video cable from a shop in Bukit Tinggi

Wow, pricing is definately aggresive this year. 42 incher below 3K. And it will only drop further...how much is the question. Imagine just a few years ago a 34in CRT was more than 3-4K.

Barricade

Can you tell me which shop you bought the 42X10 for 3k?

Any idea what your shop/source selling the 42PV80 and 50PV80? My buddy want to get the 50in and 42in PV80.

Yea which shop in Bukit Tinggi ?

I guess the new models are cheaper because they save some cost for lowering warranty from 5 yrs to 3 yrs.

Forgotten the name but it is just opposite AEON Bukit Tinggi, those shoplots along Lorong Batu Nilam, got a Panasonic sponsored signboard in front.

If the shop have Panasonic Signboard and opposite AEON Shopping Mall, location near traffic light the name such Zeally Sdn Bhd.
If I not mistaken coz I had deal with that shop last year.

It is true the shop selling Panasonic Plasma 42 at RM3k, coz the other item price a bit high from Jusco. May be the price could nego

Ohh, there's two shops there, one which sells only Panasonic products and the other one sells General Electrical Appliances, which one is it? Is it the one nearer to the Pappa Kopitiam one?

Barricade

If you can do us a favor when your unit arrived in 2 weeks, pls ask what the price for 50PV80.

just came back from Best Denki. 50" is just tooo freaking GIGANTIC for ma small living room from 8ft to 10ft and the standard definition sources just look hideous on any of the LCD/plasma sets

RM 3500 Harvey Norman - getting on Saturday 4th April

Free - HDMI Cable / S-Video / Cap / T-shirt + others voucher etc

Congrats! Don't see you getting much sleep this weekend! heh!

Don't forget to come back here with a personal review! Will be waiting for that, thanks!

anyone got the new model 50" and above pricing ?

I hope that can get less than 3k n include the wall mount will be the best...haha

Barricade, can you see you official receipt and give us the name and telephone number?

Are you sure its RM3000?

If it is this price, commontan should be able to give us cheaper.

This post has been edited by michaeltan1943: Mar 31 2009, 10:34 PM

Let us wait for commontan's price

commontan, give us a good price lah, at least beat the RM3000 figure

g5sim

I don't know what you mean on 8-10ft with 50in LCD/Plasma, standard definition is hideous? Too close to TV?

As for std definition, you refering to Astro or pasar DVD?

My living room not that big either. Its about 4meter viewing distance. I wish to have go with the 50in plasma actually!

the last i saw 50pv80 during was rm5549 in sunway with installment plan and expected to be around or cheaper for that price if u plan to get SG warranty from those shops in SS2 or pudu while for those who willing to wait for 50x10 series, price round at around 6k-6k+, should be out at the end of April....

BTW : Just becareful of re-packed display of 42pv80 as it has already out of stock for most of the dealers

i dont know the source of the video but they were definitely not HD. I was viewing the LCD/plasmas inches of the screen. Still the hidef source for Panasonic setting looked so nice. Maybe just me, pq for other sets were like slightly better version of youtube vids!

i said that the 50" is too big for my living room cuz i only have the viewing distance of 8-10 ft. 37-42 should be nice. 32" is still

Dude

What model you look at la? Slightly better than Youtube vids? LCD may be bad but not that bad with Astro.

Even me now on Astro using S Video and china mali DVD player and pasar DVD, its a whole lot better than my CRT 29in!

Actually when I look at the HD or even Blu ray on 42PV80 and Pioneer Kuro, its not that much of difference, not enough to justify 2.5k diff, not even rm500 worth.. and when I surf with my Wii, I can read the mail and news clearly which I can't on the CRT...unless i zoom in. With the PV80, no such need!

This post has been edited by gamenoob: Apr 1 2009, 04:38 PM

some of the youtube vids actually look decent on my 20 LCD and 17 CRT monitor but the movies played at Best Denki were just you can go and have a look with your own eyes. The only good setting were Pasonic and the Toshiba setting, Toshiba was feed with HD DVD source me think. The HD DVD player under neath the LCD was running at the time of my viewing

If you can, bring your own source to test. Some shops that I went to doesn't even let you try Astro now, saying they do not subscribe to Astro...speak volumes eh?

Court and Sen Heng have Astro feed! Test to your heart content!

Bought PV80 at rm3,899 last year sept.Wat a great prices for newer model ! Impress with the pricing.

Well my viewing distance is also about 10 ft & I am using a 50" Plasma........look Ok to me not too big actually. Can see all the hair clearly.

Hi, which shop you guys went to see this new model? I went to HN pyramid not available

my damn problem is my sofa is european size making my living room rediculously small. stooopid never check before purchase the sofa. need to dump it and get a reguar Malaysian size sofa

i like european size . wanna sell

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.

Xcrossf1re

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?

Attentional, thanks for pointing that out to us dumbass and all. Didn't know the X10 price is also dropping fast from 3.5 to 3.3 to 3k now in less than 1 month! Man, its good time to get into plasma game!

Will ask my buddy to check out the 50X10 at Legend, to see if it can be had at 5k! because if they can sell the 42X10 at 3k..surely they can do 50X10 at 5k, because that was the speculated price for 50PV80. That will be a bargain!

I hope can get the 50 inch for RM5k. I would surely buy one. Really worth it. I love Panasonic plasmas. They are so good in quality.

From him la, htkaki

One of the elites here.

I'm laughing my ass out, you must be a pariah uncle who never bought any electronics/electrical equipment before. X10 price is never dropping. It is still at 3.7k, and that's the RSP. You know what that means? RSP? If you do not know, google it, geez. The price Legend or other electrical store quoted are not RSP, those price are much lower than RSP, even more lower if you're willing to pay cash. So, even now Legend doesn't have stock yet for X10, but they quoted me 3k. So do you call that a price drop? Even our forumer htkaki quoted 2.9k without the video camera.

Looks like xrossfire is right. To quote him:

Seriously dude, take your meds.

wow, this forum is getting quite abusive.

Are all the new Vieras full HD?

attentional

I wonder where the hostility come from? Is it necessary to resort to such words and approach to say your mind? Or is it lacking attention from your parents hence your handle say so?

Even if other have different opinions, its their right to say so and you can chose to counter the opinion maturely and intelligently instead of coming across so wanting .... attention......or worst lacking in maturity. Can you exercise some maturity?

No. The X series plasmas are 720p (HD Ready). The G series onwards plasmas are 1080p. I am not sure of the LCDs.

bank in HTKAKI the deposit and he will send the product to your door step. Where are you at?

Moderator pls take the necessary action. Last month, you banned for life all the crooks and liars, I think, this month, you have to do somemore banning.

Come on lah... there is no use fighting over which one is better etc etc. For gods sake its just a TV not a political party.

Those who are loyal to 42PV80H just concentrate to its own thread and not trigger anything bad about X10.

Those who like the X10 just stay here and not trigger Anything bad on PV80 .

Those who have PV80 but think X10 is better then just sell ur unit buy X10 then migrate to this thread.

End story.

Are you sure he do doorstep delivery?

For me its a "roomstep" delivery. Delivered it right into my room

I m thinking of getting a LCD 40" or Plasma 42".

The thing about 40" and above should get fullHD still applies?

Coz i m having a HD65@120"@720p and was thinking if i m getting a TV shud it be 720p or 1080p?

Any suggestions? If 720p suffice then the X10K is a no brainer. I m surely getting this one

toytoy, get the x10 as a secondary display, 720p shud be sufficient, for that price, htkaki giving at 2.9k, if im in kl, i also get one from him

RM2.9K cash and carry. YB, if you want, I charge you nice price to JB since you bought so many items from me. We tk this offline.

aiyoh... dun tempt me can or not.....

YB .... 42" for toliet kah?

kopi, toilet 37" will do

I was going to come to do a review on my unit which I got last Saturday. Seeing how things have turned out at this thread, there is no point in discussing about this anymore.

As far as I am concerned, I made the right decision. Have sinced moved the PV80 to another room. The X10 is now my main viewing unit.

If anyone is interested in the review, you may PM me.This thread is too sensitive.

BTW, not all big stores charge crazy price, they are all negotiable. So dont generalize.
FYI RM3.45 K - full package with all HDMI/S Video cables/tshirt/cap/camcorder/4gb card - Harvey Norman.

I think the answer is pretty obvious since the X10 is now your main viewing unit. X10 PWNedzzzzz PV80 kau kau.

ahh, no review? has been waiting for it, tempted to upgrade from 32" to 42" plasma

rm2900 is really tempt..time to upgrade liao..haha

RM3,450 for Panasonic TH-P42X10K?

Hmmm, i might just go take a look at it this week. Seems like a good buy.

But I wonder if RM3.45k include the free videocam or not.

If the main purpose is for Blu-Ray and PS3, is the 42X10K a good choice?

free video cam? what type of video cam, SR12e?

by the way, can this LCD use for PC?

you better go for the RM2900 cash deal.

not only for cash. Non instalment CC add 2%

Sure this is a real deal? Sounds too good to be true. Will check out Harvey

Keep us updated with your find.

no need to check. I went to HTKaki's shop last Saturday

Got a feedback from a friend RM3.45k from HM doesn't include the free videocam.

where's htkaki shop?

does he do delivery aswell in KL?

some of us work hard for our money.

moderator, pls take note. Previously, this individual used to make fun of people for buying 2nd hand items and also buying with installment, condemning them for being poor. The thread then became a flame war.

Moderator, please take the necessary action.

Moderator, please take the necessary action.

Basically I'm looking for flat panel TV, I need to select either LCD TV or Plasma LCD. Eyeing on Panasonic TH-P42X10K from Harvey Norman & SenQ.
Very confusing me which one I should go for it & I just use it for movies (DVD) & Astro. NO GAMING.
I read from YouTube & people commented that LCD good for bright lighting & Plasma suitable for Dim Lighting. I'm not sure Plasma can perform under room light compare to LCD. Please advise......

So, it aint really that cheap afterall eh
