I have this. Kahapon lang binili sa SNS.

As posted in the other thread, DTS is not supported. Which is okay since DTS is not supported based on papers. I tried some Mp4 HD files (720p, 1080p) with MP4 AAC audio, however I cannot hear any sound in either TV and Optical out. Based on specs AAC is supported. Will try other file types.

Sayang kasi parang may build-in Media/NMT player na itong Pana X30 pero limited naman ang audio support. DLNA and wired and wireless support pa, so you can set-up home network to watch movies from other sources.

Admittedly, the 'true cinema mode' color is bland/pale to my taste, Dynamic mode is too bright and too colorful.   Then again, you can always adjust to your desired color, contrast etc. Maybe Im just used in watching in my HD CRT. It may take some time to adjust my eyes.

Overall I'm happy. Very happy actually. For a branded 42" plasma with almost complete features except 3D and for only about 26K++, I have no complaints.

Anyone tried the Facebook and Shoutcast function on this model? I tried connecting mine via ethernet. Mukhang viewer lang  ito and there's no way you can post sa facebook.  Very picky din po ang built in player. Even the formats that are supposed to be supported won't play. Pero sa Picture quality po naman ... a lot better than the samsung and LG plasmas. Pa-share naman po ng picture settings nyo.

I think sa akin binigay (nag-iisang unit yesterday), sensya na. Wala po akong kinalaman dito.. In fairness with SNS, they checked first with their staff kung makakabalik ka to get the item before they decide to sell the item to me. Something 1 hour na palugit or hindi mo na maantay dahil may susunduin ka or something...

Actually last Saturday pa ako nag try na bumibili rin sa kanila, laging pag dating ko naubusan ako.

Anyway. Let's just enjoy our plasmas..

i was finally able to transfer the 42x30 to my room and what can I say? grabe PQ talaga ng plasma! :D i don't think i'll be able to go back to LCD because of this. will, surely get one for myself once my mom returns from SG! ;D
