| ![]() Yes kb100, I agree with you. Technology just keeps improving and it's simply impossible to keep pace with it. Just gotta buy it when we wanna buy it !! Aadix, That's a good idea. Hmm - well then maybe I will pick up a 42PV80 in Dec and then go for a 50PV80 in July 09 !! ![]() ![]() Warm regards, Venkat |

![]() How many days our Pana gang members had to wait for wall mounting after the Plasma/LCD delivered to your place ? I got my PV8 delivered home on 16th November and today its the 12th day. So far not a single call from Panasonic installation guys ! I found out the service centre number and called them on 25th and fixed the installation for 27th, thats today. Called them today at 11.30am to reconfirm, the lady on the phone said "Sir, its raining, so none of our guys have come". I really lost my temper, I said "If you are not fixing it today before 6pm (no drilling allowed in our building after 6pm), I am sending it back to the dealer for refund." As the mumbai issues are taking place, wife's family being there, our TV is in the box since 3 days, desperately in need of watching the news. I am not making any personal comments here without knowing from others what Panasonic service means to members. | |

| ![]() since both of you are saying that there is no problem with the scrolling text then it should be me or the TV. I'll get both checked. Quote:

| ![]() Nemo - yes just check your plasma again. Most of them don't seem to face this issue while seeing scrolling text on the PV80. If need be, maybe you can have a service guy from Panasonic come over to check it out too. Shajufx True, but isn't a 32 inch LCD for the kitchen, an overkill ??? Maybe a small one like a 26 or 22 inch would be alright (for the ladies to watch soaps while cooking) ![]() ![]() More than 15k extra for that feature though is not worth it in my opinion. The 1709 has 7.1, slightly better wattage and dual zone audio compared to the Denon 1509. Definitely not worth paying 12-14k extra for. And yes, like Nemo has said, I suggest you take out the plasma and set it up temporarily on a table or something using the swivel base provided in the box. This way, you won't get frustrated with the delay in the arrival of the Panasonic installation guys and you can watch the news too. After reading your message, I've decided not to wall mount my plasma. I'll be happy with it on a nice rack, so that it's easy for me to shift it to another room if required. I can just move the rack to the other room. Plus, no drilling etc on the wall for this. |

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() I saw this phenomena on LG. This came just once or twice. It doe not happens always, but in case of some programs, when the credits begin rolling, it happens. This is rare, maybe one in 20 programs have this issue |

True. If you don't plan to move the plasma anywhere, then wall mounting it is the best thing to do. But in my case, if I get a 42 inch plasma now, I might go in for a 50 inch a bit later, and at that time I'd have to move my 42 inch plasma to the bedroom to accommodate the 50 inch unit in the hall. You've mentioned that the TV can't be stand mounted by yourself. Is it due to the weight of the unit ? I thought the plasma was only around 25-30 kg. Quote:

Nemo, Scrolling text issue is most probably related to some wrong (scanning or motion handling) setting. | |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Nemo, After you said it, I specifically looked at the rolling text in NDTV profit and I get what you mentioned. I too find a slight vibration in characters (letters are dancing ![]() But not prominent in news channels. NDTV profit one is very fast moving From around 20 feet distance, it looks neat. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() OK question for folks in Pune ( or anyone else who can respond) -- i have tried the Pana site and there are no specific dealers or company showrooms in Pune ( Pimpri-Chinchwad) area to be specific. I also wanted to see a demo of the LG 42" frameless plasma but havent been lucky. I have tried ezone(Premier plaza), next, Dass and Radhika electronics without much luck. Most of them have LCDs on display and sale. please guide me to a decent shop where I can demo and decide on the purchase ( either LG 42" or Panasonic 42") |

| ![]() @ kpbhatt: You will have to venture out of pimpri-chinchwad if you want to check Plasmas. Panasonic brand shops for pune are in Kothrud (opp. Yashvantrao chavan natyagruha) and in Kasba peth area. You can also visit 'AVxllence' in Akshay Complex, Dhole patil road to check out panasonic & pioneer plasmas. |
