Raja sydney Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Read posts 2 and 6 above. Not much higher praise than seeing a well thought of ISF calibrator with one.Best price I've seen is the $5K I mentioned above but prices may have come down since then. I would own one if the better half would agree. This price includes the installation, 5 year warranty AND an ISF calibration. From what I've seen it is an outstanding plasma but lacks the tuner (if that is important to you). How much better than the 507 is hard for me to qualify/quantify but I believe it to be better. And aesthetically it is much better. Hi lyle! THnaks. i got quote from a place for 3200 for 42inch and 4200 for 50inch. I am looking cheap bargain for my friend. For me i already purchased panasonic PV60A in November. DO you think its a best price or better wait for another 3-6months for the price come down. THanks.

If it includes everything, that is a very good price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWilliamMa Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hey Lyle, Let me leave you with my new philosophy in life... It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission! :ph34r: It worked wonders to get my 5000EX! K William Ma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

68ls1 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Now a very happy 50MXE20 owner. Guests walk in see it and just stand and stare, after a couple of minutes normally get a comment like, that picture is unbelievable. Hard to get a conversation going if it's on, unless it's about the TV Got mine through The Big Picture People at Knox, $4,450.00 for panel with usual 5 year, installation & calibration. Got Digitalview DVH-505 tuner for $500.00 to go with it which is great unit. Very happy with service, knowledge and advice, I dealt with Ben. Only downside is I now find it a bit annoying to watch standard Foxtel signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWilliamMa Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 It seems there's a good general consensus for the commercial model of the plasma. I must look out for them and see that for myself. I've had my PDP-5000EX for almost 9 months now, and am still mesmerized by the picture quality. I just recently got in touch with Aaron from AVICAL to get the screen calibrated, so I can't wait for the final result. The only complain I have is the occasional HDMI hand shaking issue between the screen and the Denon A1XVA DVD Player. I can get around this by turning off/on the player again to get the handshaking working again. Also, the X-Box 360 component only supports 1080p @ 50/60hz (the screen supports component @ 1080p/24), but I'm sure that's more of the limitation of the X-Box than the screen itself. Now if only we can just fast forward to a time where there are plenty of HD-DVD/Blu-Ray dual format players.... K William Ma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug1503559538 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Is this a 1080p panel ? If not, has anyone done a comparison between the 50MXE20 and a 1080p ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightbreed Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Is this a 1080p panel ? If not, has anyone done a comparison between the 50MXE20 and a 1080p ? At work we had the 5000ex (1080p) sitting next to the 50MXE20. The 50MXE20 has better contrast than the 5000ex and is a BIG step above the 507, but the 5000ex showing HD content is just breath taking! no other words to describe it.

AK-47 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 How does this unit comapre to the PDP-5000EX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_marcelo Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 How does this unit comapre to the PDP-5000EX? MXe 20 is probably the best alternative to the 5000ex ..... at about 1/3 of the price..... however if money is no object and most of your sources are HD.... 5000EX .... they are my two favourite panels to match to an external scaler....

Agreed, I have a mate that has the 5000EX and for him money was no object. On the day he bought the 5000 he also bought his amp and speakers etc. Cut a cheque for $35K without batting an eye.I'm not in that ballpark. The 50MXE is a fantastic alternate.

KWilliamMa Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 For me, there's just no substitute for the 5000EX. Most of souces are displayed at 1080p (directly and indirectly - meaning via video scaler) and 1080i (DTV, X-Box 360). In the words of Lyle, WOW! Still, I'd love to check out the MXE-20. Congrats on your new toy, Lyle! K William Ma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_marcelo Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 what are the street prices for the 5000EX these days?? my 50" NEC is not even 12 months old yet ... but i'm working on a 3 year upgrade cycle.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50mxe20 Posted May 4, 2007 Author Share Posted May 4, 2007 (edited) EDIT: OOPS - Sorry I read 50MXE20 and you said 5000EX. Good question! One would expect the price to come down but maybe not until there is a bit more competition. God, the forum editing is slow today!

big_marcelo Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 $9500 near Liverpool Sydney thanks - still a bit dear for me... I got my NEC for $5k ... so between $5-$6k is my high price point at this stage... looks like I'll be waiting for a couple of years.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
