i asked the sales guy if they still have a closed box unit. he said they only have a demo unit which has been running intermittently for only 2 weeks. i dared him to check the mrt using mute-7,3,7-enter. the mrt was about 1400 hours! sales guys will say anything just to make a sale.
It's not going to be easy trying to put one over a pdvd member...
and this makes me wonder. are there really no stocks left or is abenson just trying to dump their demo units first before releasing the other stocks?
It's unlikely that they will not give you an available closed-box unit.
The purchasers of big appliance stores know that 1080p plasmas do not sell well, so they usually have very few stocks on hand.
It's hard to anticipate when demand for higher-end plasmas will sudenly spike, since the buyers are just a small group of enthusiasts --- a small minority compared with the general buying public.
When I bought my H5000 last night 2 units yung sealed box nila in Avant ATC...
MTR is 0
Wow, meron palang 0 hours MRT (Mains Running Time).
Usually it's a few hours, covering factory testing.
