Was originally choosing between the LG 42LA6130/6200, PS514900 (3D features) and Qube 50QTV (HD-Smart). But after reading a lot (PDVD, Google) regarding this TV, napa-"impulse" buy na ko yesterday (before stocks run out).
I have been an LCD/LED user ever since and this will be the first time I'll be using plasma. I admit that during the demo yesterday (demo unit was set to dynamic), medyo nanibago kami ni wifey in terms of the PQ. Nasanay kasi kami ng high contrast/brightness sa LED that's why when I compared it side by side with an LED using the same video, medyo mukhang dull yung (white) background. But one thing I noticed is that this TV had better sharpness, details, and motion rate compared to the LED. This I had to explain to wifey to convince her to allow me to purchase the unit.
What concerns me now is the power consumption, esp. with the impending P3.00/Kwh increase by Meralco. I just hope that what's posted for the 51F5300 (US) "typical power consumption @ 78W" is true. Kakabili ko lang plasma, sabay taas ng Meralco rates, talk about timing.
BTW, I got the unit from Abenson's Calamba (WalterMart) for 30,997 (minus the freebie). And yes, they are offering a wall mount + installation for 998.00 (or was it 997.00). I'm just waiting for their delivery advise. Hoping this unit will serve us well.
