See I am no connoisseur of Plasma- Mr. Kix paid twice what I paid and he got many things I don't have - so please talk to him and ask him in real life conditions how they help.

For me most of them didn't matter at least at the cost of 50K more. Maybe for you they may matter - so please call Mr Kix and convince yourself.

But one thing is for sure.....if all you do is just switch on your TV and watch without playing around with settings - my TV is fine for 50K. But if you are an enthusiast then it may disappoint you as there is not much calibration you can do

+1 to this.. apun bhi aisa hi hain beedu... no calibration or hi-fi settings for me either.. thats why am concentrating on X/U models only. Also as I mentioned earlier, 50XT50 is being sold with 3D Glasses here @ 60K+ else the 50K deal you got is yummy..

@rajatk, I have said in many posts ... you should go with X50 or XT50, at most you could go to UT50. Anything above is an overkill for you.

Yes sire & I am not deviating from that... just deciding bw the two now... was straying to LG/Samsung budget models as well but now back to Panny...saw on option of ST30 so asked you abt it earlier...
 
No METRO in Delhi? Also see Metro is not doing charity by selling it at 50K - am sure they are making money on this..maybe they picked up a big quantity and got bulk discount..I dont know. Like I keep saying bargain for 50K without glasses if you can. Even samsung official price of their glasses in India is 1400 although finding stock may be a bit difficult
 
as per wikipedia there is a METRO in Dilli..why not just go and buy there for 50K..if they dont have stock..am sure they can get it from Blore....why ponder so much?

I have tested with my friends Samsung glasses Yesterday and there was hardly any 3d effect. It was paired with the tv instantly and dont know why it didnt give any depth. Waiting for your feedback to order them from either US or from UAE :) . BTW i saw one setting to control the "3D effect" may be increasing that would help . ..

Reg 3D sorry to hear...did u use Samsung 2012 glasses on Panasonic 2012 TV? just confirm..thx
Click to expand...

Yes. He got the glasses from UAE recently. It should be 2012. Dont worry, its not like the glasses are not wroking .. just the effects are less compared to the panny glasses thats it. dont knwo whether the cell charge was not enough. It was a button cell powered one.

I watched Avatar and the journey to the center or earth.
 
ok..will get mine this weekend..lets see

on both amazon UK and US sites people have given the glasses very good marks criticizing panasonic for their unrealistic pricing
 
You had two questions.

(1) Free cables: I checked the manual and for XT and UT no free cables with the TV
(2) Warranty: It does come with a warranty card which has three removable sticker like thing. IF he expressly told you it does not have a card then he is lying because he has to cut a part of the warranty card and take it with him

Keep a copy of your invoice and write an email to them expressing ur anguish and ask them to confirm on email that they will honor warranty

As part of the installation they should have recorded your details anyways..but still take something on a piece of paper just to be safe

Something is wrong..getting a TV without warranty card indicates may be an open set...

You just call the dealer and tell them that you did not get the W card Like i did. In my case they gave me a card. The dealer told me that the service engg will take a xerox of the invoice and thts enough for them if the warranty card is not available.

Me too felt something fishy when the w. card was not there in the box. Also , my box had no date of import. But since this is a newer model , i am not worrying about it much. :)

My dealer told me that , in case if the warranty card is not availabel at the time of installing the TV, the service guy takes a copy of the invoice from the dealer and sends it to panasonic, and once they recieve it at their end, they will despatch the HT to the dealer and dealer will deliver the HT to me. All these will happen in 15-20 days. He asked me to call the shop after 2 weeks to check the status of my HT

Prices vary by city. In Pune, the prices are as follows:

42UT50: around 65.5K, with 2 free 3D Glasses, free HT offer going on
50UT50: around 80K, with 2 free 3D Glasses, free HT offer going on

Some bargaining is possible.

Service guy did not even ask for an Invoice..I am a demanding customer, stubborn since childhood...Wont it make sense to ask for replacement..

Also, is this a coincidence that both of us got set without warranty card and both boxes were without date of Import,...Per my connects month of import is mandate for all products,....Joy of a new plasma is :-(

Just hope that this all is not because it is a imported Thailand piece (Gaffar market types) and not a genuine one... that would be worse...

Well this is India and we can import a nuclear bomb by bribing our customs folks. anyways not having a stamp is not a big deal. See the way things are packed, the card may be stuck some place in the thermocol of the packaging. Also this is a new model and hence chances of it being demo for last 6-7 mths does not arise. You also checked the usage and that too confirmed it to be new.

Regarding the service engineer telling you it does not come with a guarantee card - may be its his plain ignorance. He does not pack the TVs in India. So if the Panasonic brand shop acknowledged the goof up and gives you a physical proof of the warranty - it should be fine. Also not sure if this ails only the 42 inch buyers
