Topic: Panasonic 42PWD8 Plasma & Other Models

[New_comer]

The 9th generation Panny EDTV 42PS9UK is now being sold at less than $900 in the US. Mas mahal pa yang pwd8 kesa dun sa bagong labas. 10,000:1 lang naman kumpara sa 3,000:1 ng 8th gen. http://reviews.cnet.com/Panasonic_TH_42PS9UK_42_plasma_panel/4507-6482_7-32057219.html?tag=sub

Sana magpasok na ang listening group ng model na ito.

I think this particular model is being sold by LIS at P59,950 without any of the modules. Just the VGA PC input.  The Component video module costs P5k.  Bili ka nalang ng VGA TV Tuner from Open pinoy. 

Was able to audition this kanina and was impressed by the PQ. Ang ganda ng skin tone and yung black levels. Playing side by side with Hitachi PD9500 although using component kanina and I must say mas maganda sa tinging ko yung Panny. Although when I requested to use HDMI dun sa Hitachi then nagimprove yung resolution nito. Naku ang hirap mag decide.

Down side getting this model is no HDMI and yung 89,900 na price dipa kasama yung bracket (add 5k). And ofcourse 480p ang native resolution pero again kung pang DVD lang naman this is I feel super sulit

ako naman magtanong:

re: Panasonic TH-42PA60 - HD na ba ito? been seeing conflicting specs sa net.  Some site walang HDMI resolution mababa lang, yung may HDMI mataas PC resoltion.

can anybody (barrister  ) enlighten me on this.


thanks

Panasonic TH-42PA60 is not an HDTV.  EDTV (Enhanced Definition TV) lang ito, with 852 x 480 pixels, with one HDMI input.

480 lang ang native resolution (actual number of pixels on the panel) nito, which makes it an EDTV only.  Nakakalito, kasi "HD ready" din ito, which means that it can accept input resolutions of 720p and 1080i and scale it to the panel's native 480p, but it is still not an HDTV. 

Personally, I don't worry too much about resolution because other aspects of picture quality are much more important.

According to the ISF (Imaging Science Foundation), the most important aspects of picture quality are:  1. contrast ratio, 2. color saturation, 3. color accuracy, and 4. resolution, in that order.  Resolution is the least important, yet the bandwagon seems to think the opposite.   


=======================================================

 

The TH-42PA60 is Panasonic's 9th generation plasma EDTV.

In the domestic market, the legit model from Panasonic Philippines is the TH-42PA60M:

On the internet, I've observed that the 60M is also the official model for South Africa and Dubai.

Sa Philippine gray market, sir tylerdude got a TH-42PA60H for P90K.  The 60H is probably a Singapore model.  It should be cheaper now, kasi Feburary 2007 pa niya nabili ito. 

Unless you can get the TH-42PA60 at a very low price, I suggest that you wait for the 42" 10th generation 768p models posted on the Panasonic Philippines website:
