Topic: 42" Plasma at P78,000, any good?

[New_comer]

I saw yesterday at Listening room an EDTV 42" plasma set , Ivision ata yun, selling for 78Thou. The HD verion  1024x768 costs 88Th naman. This beats, by far, the 100K EDTV Hitachi plasma I intended to get as a present to myself this Christmas.

Any comments on this would be most appreciated.

Thanks all

edtv is not good and an old model for me, 88k is to high for that brand. i guest you may consider an LG plasma 42' with free home theather, mic, wall bracket, karaoke songs, for old 111,000 the service is the best, LG manufacture der owned brand. 100,000 hrs 10,000/1 ratio. i owned one, i compared it with the samsung and pioneer. more cheaper,

I'm actually eyeing the Hitachi 42PD380TA unit myself.  P99,950 na lang for a 42" EDTV, complete set na.  Parang di ako kampante sa I-Vision...  Ganda sana yung Hitachi, pero the only downside is the LG Panel it uses (and this isn't a real downside, it's just a matter of impression).  Sana meron feedback from actual Hitachi owners...

Thanks, guys! Appreciate your inputs... 

I was able to check the PQ of the LG 42" that was on display at the Megatrade hall a couple of months back. It was selling at 115K ata nuon. All in all, I'm not too impressed with the pale black it rendered, though design-wise, it looked very smart.

Up to now, I haven't found any 'cheap' brand that can remotely match the blacks that the Panasonic 42PWD8 can generate. But its too expensive at 120K, less speakers & tuner, just the monitor.

As regards the I-vision, one thing going for it is that it's using a Samsung panel. Comparatively, its a mismatch against the PWD, but I guess I can live with that considering the 30K-40K I still would have in my pocket.
As I won't be using this as a computer monitor, an EDTV would do just fine. Pang karaoke nga lang talaga ito, pang-wow sa bisita during Christmas. 

If anyone can point me to a website that describes this product in more detail, that would be a big help. Thanks again...

Try Microtek Plasma TV, I think they're on sale until the end of September. P79,000 for a 42" plasma tv.

I wouldn't even think of getting an EDTV at those prices at this time.  Better just save up for a HDTV.  And if you have 70T or 80T cash for one, i would suggest partially paying a 36" or 42" Samsung or SOny LCD in cash and charge the balance to one of those 0% card payment schemes.   But that's just me ofcourse.

I agree to av_phile.  Instead of getting an EDTV better get an HDTV.  Its a whole lot of experience.

Hello again 

Will it matter much in terms of viewing experience if most of the stuff I play are either DVD, DivX or MP4? How does an HDTV render videos of those type compared to an EDTV? The sales rep at Listening room insists that annoying artifacts are much more prevalent with HD than ED when playing TV or regular DVD/DivX movies...

Thanks for the responses.
