HT102 Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 If we hit 40, we should have a Pioneer demo / HT session / kopi session! Welcome friends and take time to browse this thread for tips and settings. You also want to hook up all your inputs first if you are wall mounting, I have tips in the 507 thread as well. Thks Pete. Receiving my set next Monday. Fun comes after that.. ;D BTW, did any bro get the $799 Celini black-gloss TV console? Would love to hear your experience with it. Thks.

Welcome friends and take time to browse this thread for tips and settings. You also want to hook up all your inputs first if you are wall mounting, I have tips in the 507 thread as well. question - how do you hide the cables if its going to be wall mounted? I mean, if i were to take your suggestion to hook up all the input terminals (even thou i'm not going to be using all at present), those dangling wires will make an unpleasant sight no?
petetherock Posted October 11, 2007 Author Posted October 11, 2007 I am a HT fan, and I have a dedicated room, so aesthetics are not so important :) Your designer can help the sticky in the HT section gives ideas, eg a false wall through which wires are inserted, a central tube in which things pass through. Me, I just use a console and all my wiring runs free, no EMF intereference ;) question - how do you hide the cables if its going to be wall mounted?

htfreak Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 No point doing so now as the pricing at retail will be much more different as compared to the prices at the preview show.
dmateo Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Honestly, price is not so transparent as it is. You have to look at it from the whole package perpsective to ensure it's apple to appel comparison. Most of the time people just look at the price and forgot about the extended warranties, freebies, waiver etc etc... This things even though not very visible still translate to cost for the seller, and translate to service for the buyer. The advice is not to be caught up to much on the price and loose sense on the overall offer. Cheers, ;D

mz Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 My CRT just died on me! haa.. Time to go HD!! What is the best price to get a full HD Pioneer plasma, is there a 42"?
dmateo Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 There is no 42" full HD Pioneer. You either get 50" (14,999) or 65" (19,999). Alternatively you can always go with Panasonic 42" Full HD. Can't recall the price but should be hitting on the store by end of the month I guess.
mz Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Yes PDP-428XG. I need to buy one soon, cos can't live without TV ar. hehe.
dmateo Posted October 18, 2007 Posted October 18, 2007 Official price is 4299. There is a thread on the market place for someone selling lower than that. Check it out and contact the guy yourself for the arrangement. Alternatively, wait for the next expo, I think it's around november time frame. You might also want to consider the newly launch panny.
HT102 Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 To those bros who bought their plasmas during the 8th-gen launch event, did you receive a call from Pioneer informing that due to delay in shipment, the "free" DVD recorder and HT speaker system will only be delivered after 1st Nov?
Audioache Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 I receive the call yesterday. Mine is the HT speaker system and Hdmi dvd player which will be available from 25th due to shipment delay. I still opt to have the plasma install on 22nd and the others foc stuff on 25th.
dmateo Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 same here... plasma is on Monday and goodies is 25th.. :) I dont really care when though, as long as they come within the same month. :D
bybynow Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Yep, its confirmed, delays for the freebies but plasma as per 22nd....

HT102 Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 Found an interesting debate on the pricing and PQ of 508XG and 50PY700.. http://avbuzz.com/bbs/av/av-thread-89520.html I had the opportunities to view 50PY700 and 50PV70 side by side playing same content at both HN and BD outlets.. the result of their comparisons (to my eyes) was consistent. ;D
petetherock Posted October 21, 2007 Author Posted October 21, 2007 No point trying to compare... Buyers like to justify their precious buys, both Pioneer and Panny And many prefer to see the specs than the real image. It will be a long argument back and forth over which is better. Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder and he who is willing to spend. If I had infinite pockets, the full HD 60" Pioneer will be my ideal HT screen Found an interesting debate on the pricing and PQ of 508XG and 50PY700.. http://avbuzz.com/bbs/av/av-thread-89520.html I had the opportunities to view 50PY700 and 50PV70 side by side playing same content at both HN and BD outlets.. the result of their comparisons (to my eyes) was consistent. ;D
c7221624705751 Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 Buyers like to justify their precious buys, both Pioneer and Panny not necessarily. see this guy, bought the PY700 50", and concluded "bought wrongly" : http://avbuzz.com/bbs/av/av-thread-86666.html from ewong EDIT: I think I just put his quote here, for those who can read cantonese. btw I like his style, very fun to read :) 睇怕今次買錯嘢, 越睇就越唔順眼, 呢塊磨沙面板對比度真係比TH50PV70H差一大截, 黑位始終太灰, 相信只係比日立部P50X01A好少少, 就算Pioneer上一代果部 PDP-507XG 都贏呢部TH50PY700H一大截, PDP-508GX直頭見到車尾燈就當你羸, TH50PY700H今次食晒塵。 如果真係諗住買50吋Plasma, 一定係買PDP508GX, 一定唔會買錯, 如果一定要1080p Full HD, 就等多一個月等"三星"及"先鋒"出 FULL HD Plasma 先再算。
