This is an updated HD/ED version of the Microtek MHP1 which is an SD panel.  It's available for Php79,000 from american technologies: http://www.ati.com.ph/events/microtek_plasma.html In the link, you still need to trade-in an old tv. But that was last sept. 30 pa. In their newspaper ad today... P79,000 is the regular price already.

Yup, yup, I saw it at the Cyberzone of SM North prior to the Holy Week celebration, it has no HDMI,no DVI, only VGA and the usual component RGB. Seems like it was patterned after the 1st generation Plasmas.

i second the motion!

But if they are going to sell this for 25K, why avoid it??? Buy it na agad, hehehe

not that i am pushing this on anyone, but the specs says there is a single DVI-D connector... which means you can use a DVI-HDMI adapter. this site says so itself:  http://store.pchome.com.tw/dahsan/M00448543.htm   and even provide a picture of the adaptor:



this wouldn't have caught my attention if it wasn't a 1024x768 panel, much better i think than the SD panels from Panasonic at a much higher price. still, the truth of the pudding is in the eating... so better to audition it first than rely on paper specs.

I auditioned the old ED version dati.  If I remember correctly, the discounted price didn't have the TV tuner built in.  Parang additional 12k pa yata nuon.  Meron nga DVI and VGA input.

How about this HD version?  Complete set na ba?

[gearhead]

hi pao,

yes, i think the tuner is still an additional 6.8k. since you've auditioned the SD version already, can you comment on the picture quality?

[paolorenzo]

Tagal na rin yun eh.  Maganda rin naman, lalo if you're matching them up with the right gears.  You can contact hein, since he can get you a really good deal for this (not sure if he's still affiliated with ATI).

You can refer to this thread.

I ended up with an LCD, because my viewing area is well-lighted.  If you have the ability to dim down ambient lighting, then plasma has superior PQ (I hope I don't get flamed saying this  ).
