Pioneer 428XG vs Panasonic TH-42PV7

nitingoyal · #1 18th June 2008, 10:24 PM

Hi

price of pioneer 428XG is almost double that of panasonic TH-42PV7.
most of my viewing is is tata sky ,no games no dvd's nor any blue-ray's.
so will it be worth to spend that much extra on pioneer plasma

In that case, you are better off with the panasonic imo.

Nitin

Buddy

You are comparing one Best Quality Product
And one, one among the Top Quality VFM product...

So the answer in that sense is not possible at all...

Yes but, if only Tata Sky is considered here...then its not useful for next 2-3 years to invest in Pioneer...
And even Panasonic - 42PV70H...has 1080p...

As per the news, Tata Sky is planning some Digi Box, with Full HD PQ...
so lets hope for the best...

Anyways, Nitin you have mentioned, 42PV7H, did you mean 42PV70H...

Buddy, 42PV7H is not good in quality...there is hardly a difference of 5-6K between both...but quality wise both have lot of difference...

I prefer you to go in for TH-42PV70H...or if you can invest a bit more than go in for TH-42PV700H, the first Full HD model in 42" Plasma in India...

hi Mridul

I thought the only difference between 42PV7H and 42PV70H is the number of HDMI inputs, as 42PV7H has 1 HDMI and 42PV70H has 2 HDMI inputs. what else is the dofference between these 2 models?

Bro

for one HDMI Input no one will have two models...of same size...

Basically thats there Corporate Model...
They have pretty good margin in that...so its easy for them to push in corporate market...

Compare both of them simultaneously (i hope the spelling is right...???)
then you will come to know...

The 42PV70 has a 15-pin D-sub "PC Input" whereas PV7 does not.
PV70 has 15,000:1 contrast ratio, PV7 , only 8,000:1
2 HDMI Vs 1 HDMI
3x component in vs. 1x component in.

In my opinion though, it's better you wait for the new 2008 PV80 series launching shortly in India. They have much better specs, features and connectivity like 3x HDMI 1.3a, G11 display panel, improved contrast ratio, 24fps playback to name a few.

So Nitin which one did you finally go for ?
I agree while the Pioneer is twice the cost of the Panasonic it really is miles better. My heart too is set on the Pioneer ! Have to find a way to stretch the budget.

I am getting the Panasonic 42 TH PV80 for Rs 60-65k and the Pioneer 428 XG for Rs105 k.
what do you advise ?
