contact the seller bro, im sure you can arrange for an appointment, then you can ask if it's free (just make sure you still have the receipt*they might ask for it).
do you think you need a calibration?  i was supposed to call TW calibrate my unit (after a month use).
then it occured to me,
do i need it?  am i not satisfied with my panel's default values?
then i said to myself, time consuming, kakatamad etc.

I don't know how their organization works but according to the Listenting in Style website both stores belong to the Listening group.

In any case, I don't know if either offer free calibration.  Just call them to find out.

i think Spydamang had a grey unit conked out after 13 months.  the retailer gave him the option to add 18k for a new unit (newer model).

Yeah thanks for the response. That's what I thought as well. a reseller especially somebody who has made admirable profits using this forum cannot put their name at risk simply because of not being able to provide service or uphold eligible warranty claims.

now this is the bad news kung ganun nga yung patakaran sa grey units (malabo yung mga terms and conditions). probably it would be better if the customer requests for the warranty condition be written down sa receipt, maybe "2 years replacement warranty" or something to that effect. hirap kung puro verbal agreement lang before paying for the item. anyway, 40k for a 42" plasma is a real bargain. But 40k is still a large amount of hard earned savings.

who's the grey market seller na who gave 18k option to get a new unit?

nako sana huwag yan magaya sa crt era.   kapag ganun ang experience sa picture tube na ang problema.
Mas malaking probability ang problema nyan baka sa power source.

Mga Boss,
          Okay na ang Plasma ko, kudos to Boss Vic of Sight and sounds and to his people..ang bilis ng aksyon.
Keep up the goodwork!

What action did S&S take? Did they replace the defective unit with a brand new one?

[cHess]

Yes, ano nangyari? Ano ginawa? Replaced by with a newer unit?

[BOSS]

Konting kalampag lang pala at bumalik na sa dati...until now inobserbahan ko, okay naman siya....but the best thing eh! nung dumating sila may dala agad ng pang replace almost brand new pa....but still nagpapasalamat ako at hindi siya natuluyan kung hindi malaking problema .....

[defjam]

Magkano kaya ang resale value ng 42PV8? Bought late 2008 used for cable and movie viewing. 15k a good price point?

15k is just right bro.  most newer models could not even compete with the PQ of this series 

[jeyps11_c]

Ok. Thanks for the input. Ma post na nag sa Marketplace. Hehehe.
