n Hong Kong it will be a long time before the Panny 6 or Pio 434 will be available and the prices would be 2 times higher than the current models available. So I just made up my mind to buy one of the following because the prices for these models have dropped significantly since they know there will be newer models available soon.
1. New Philips PF9965 + FTR9965 E box
2. Hitachi 42PD3000
3. Nec VP4
4. Fujitsu P42VHA20
They are all about in the same price range around HK$30,000 more or less. I talked to people at the panasonic and pioneer they said the newer models will be close to HK$50,000, so it's a big difference.
I am not sure about the prices yet but if the difference is that big ofcourse i will not wait for one of those newer models, it is out of my reach.
Please advice on on which plasma should I buy, which of the above is the best, picture wise, connectivity and also if any of them are future proof. I will be using it mostly for DVD and normal TV viewing.
As for the HD viewing I don't think it will be available in Hong Kong for the next couple of years also HDCP standard is not even confirmed yet and they change the standard every now and then, i wonder all these current plasmas with HDCP support, how will they cope with the change?
Let's say the HDCP standard now is 1 and the current plasma support the HDCP standard 1 and if eventually it has been change to standard 2 then how will you make it work?
Just out of interest, if i buy a satellite dish antena, will i be able to watch or receive the HD tv channels that are being broadcasted in HD TV.
Thanks
