[taho]

Congrats! Is your salesman Al**n?

Err...I didn't even pay notice to his name, my focus was all on the tv, free gift and price...hahaha

Look like this thread is dying already. Nowadays big megastores don't even carry pioneer plasmas anymore. Have we made a right choice by purchasing a pionneer plasma?

 

[TheDarkKnight]

they've stopped making it, of cos no more liao la...


as long as it's covered by warranty, why worry?

Should be old stock la. Pioneer don't manufacture plasmas anymore. Does it matter new or old stock? Brand new never touch ok ma.

Unlike older models, there is no free way to check the hours. You need to pay or buy a USB thing.

guys, I just recieved my kuro500a on sat, unfortunately I only discover there a green line right from the top down to the centre of the screen after the installation men left. Calling them to come down tomorrow to get it check out, hopefully they will replace it with a new set,

btw the line only appear with lighter background, so my warning to all kaki who just bought recently. Or maybe i just the unlucky one.

yup, went there again today again to sort out the defect issue. is him who entertained me.

that mean that there no way for us consumer to know what we get unless we hv the device. Getting it at a much lower price seem like a good deal, but if getting to know it a display set, been use since last yr, really make me feel like a sucker fallen for a fake deal.

I really looking forward to own it, since early this year.

It already there since arrived, as it is not very visible unless behind a light color or white background. I also didn't notice it until I tested couple of movie on it.
I have to convince my wife till she agree we get it to place in the living room. and it didn't even lasted for more than a week and it already given me a problem.

This is scary... hopefully it's an one-off case and they should do a 1-for-1 replacement... keep us updated...

ok, this is my lastest update, they came down, and confirmed it is manufacturing defects, replacing for me with a new set. waiting for call to set the new delivery appointment.

btw is the such green defect line is it possible cause by our own av devices or media players? anyone have a clue?

Good to hear that... Mine will be delivered only next year... if face with same problem not sure if Pioneer has new set to replace or not... finger cross...

Do not think so... else your old TV will have this issue too?

Unlikely.

Bro - can you take down the serial no of the unit and post it - in case they try and pass it off as new to others.

Cheers

EDIT - better yet take some pics for your own records and show us the green line...
