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

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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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'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.  doh.gif

Looks like xrossfire is right. To quote him:
Seriously dude, take your meds.

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?

Well, I check it out with Pioneer Kuro 42 plasma next to Panny 42PV80. The 42X10 is having a higher spec on the native constrast so I presume it will be superior in many way against the 42PV80.

So on the comparo between Kuro and 42PV80, I was very very hard pressed to see the diff worth RM2.5K.... So can you imagine compare it against the 42X10...? Yes the Kuro looks better but its not that superb that you instantly feel its worth that much of money!

For the money Kuro 42 is asking, I would rather go with 50PV80 and still with money left in my pocket! Not sure what is 50X10 price. If its also same as 50PV80 at 5k... then 50X10 it is...

I think its no brainer! If HTKAKI selling 42x10 at 2.9K, even if he is in Seremban or out of town, I will just drive there and pick it up!

Called the guys in Legend. They are so blur and did not even know there is a new Panasonic model. I rather buy from htkaki or commontan lah as they know what they are selling and speak with authority on the subject.

I'm surprised to hear that since Legend was so highly recommended by some one! Did you really speak to George?
