Re: Panasonic TH-42PV60E.
Μόλις είδα αυτό....
"Just wend to the shop (here in Barcelona) to see once more the 42px60 before buying one, to my surprise they had changed their TH-42PX60EH on display for a TH-42PX45EH. The specs on the card were identical as the PX60, so was the looks of the Plasma itself and it´s connections (3 scart, 1 comp, 2 hdmi, 1 vga). (I even verified the model number on the back of the plasma to confirm it was in fact a new model and not the px60)
According to the sales man the 42PX45 would is identical to the 42PX60. According to him the 45 is replacing the 60 which they stop producing.
Panasonic does not have any info on this model on their website, only Panasonic.de has some info about the 42PV45 (model without freeview) . It seems this model is a lower cost version of the 60, 2048 gradients of grey instead of 3072 and contrast ratio quoted to be 1:8000 instead of 1:10000
I wonder what this all mean, is this Panasonic's way to get rid of the purple snakes problems (the lower number of gradation would probably mean there is less error in the 2048 steps remaining)"
"Same thing in China. The 42PX60 is discontinued for a 42PX65. "

Επίσης να προσθέσω κάτι που παρατήρησε η γυναίκα μου χτες το βράδυ όταν της είπα τα νέα από τον γνωστό μας. Παρατήρησε - και μετά επιβεβαίωσα και εγώ - ότι δεν υπάρχει καμία άλλη τηλεόραση (plasma or LCD) με το ίδιο ποσοστό πτώσης τιμής από τον Σεπτέμβρη και μετά. Κουφό ε; Εμένα μου φαίνεται λίγο ύποπτο να πω την αλήθεια....
EDIT: Να προσθέσω ότι η τιμή (αντιπροσωπίας) της PV60 και PV45 στην Γερμανία είναι ίδιες - 2099 euro
