Hi Scavenger,

I think if you had been following this thread, you will notice that nothing comes close to Sony S400 models in term of quality and stuffs...because its just below all other good ones like Sharp A53 and Panasonic LX80.

Only thing the Sony S400 series are close to the rest is the price

@alantoh2 - thx for the info
went to jusco just now, have 15% for bravia 40" n etc
but 32S400A at retail rm2499, gonna wait the 5% off

Sony Unveils 240hz LCD TV and the Thinnest One Yet

The price is going to kill though

LG 32 30series better then this 3 model in term of ghosting and game mode believe me. I spent almost 4 hour at Senq Karamunsing testing all the model that Senq have for 32 inch lcd Samsung win in cinema mode. Sony actually use samsung panel in S series and V series use benq panel. Don believe open sony case and see inside.

Sony is using samsung & benq panels? huyoo.... thnks for the tips bro... anyway, i've decided to find 37" and bought the VIERA TX-37LX800MK... 100hz.... so far i really enjoy it esp playing cod4.... next phase... finding hts...any recommendations?

I bought this KLV32S400A, RM 2350 at Sen Heng, design looks nice, but when playing fast game like CoD4 and Forza 2 the ghosting is just terrible, I feel like wanna puke. Games like GTA4, Ace combat or PGR4 is fine though.

I guess I'm too used with my Samsung 22" 2ms monitor.

If you went to Sony website, it doesn't say how fast the response time for this TV, I wonder how fast you need to play game with minimal ghosting effect?

Under 6ms GTG. But really, don't compare it with a 2ms GTG monitor.

I guess this Sony is 8ms, I have a feeling.

Should have bought this one: http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/detail/...=LN32A450C1DXZA

Anyways, no use cry over spilt milk, gonna save more money and get 32" 1080P, either Samsung or LG.

i guess LG the best...5ms

panasonic py800 is good for gaming.

can u give me the model no?

Hi all, i have trouble finding a good LCD. Been going to electrical shop a lot of times but still cannot make up my mind. Can you provide some suggestions?

I m looking for a 40"/42" FullHD LCD at less than RM6k, prefarably under 5k.

I have been looking at Sony, Sharp, Panasonic, Toshiba and Samsung but juz don understand which one is better or worse.

Thanks.

i believe what ever u want to buy... believe ur eyes...

I agree on that. Dont buy something that ppl says it is good. Buy something that YOU think is good.

Thanks for the suggestion, i know i have to believe my eyes but i need to know where to start ma. Hehe.

Okok, actually i have pinpointed a few, please suggest which one is better ok? hehe.

1.Sony KLV-40V400A (or S Series but i heard both panel same and Sony is not recommended?)

2.Toshiba REGZA 42X3500E/A/T (What's the difference betwee E/A/T?)

3.Sharp LC42A63M

4.Samsung LA40A550P1R

5.Samsung LA40A650A1H

6.Panasonic VIERA TH-42PY800H (I believe this one costs a bomb?)

7. LG or Philips maybe?

From this list which one u think is better? Thanks

P.S. htkaki, if u don mind, can you PM me the price for the models i've listed? I will go seremban next week, go visit ur shop ok? Ur place can see 100+" HD65? I wan to poison my GF. She don't believe image for PJ can be sharp at 100+" hehehe.

Thanks

You can find your answer if you use the search bar wisely

model is panasonic plasma

50py800

hi, i plan want to sell philips full hd 42" lcd tv. anyone interested? just try my luck here.

Hi,

That's quite a long list there. Okay, will PM you the price. Pana Full HD indeed cost a bomb at near to RM7.6K.

Ok, pls come down to my shop as well as my 'kandang kambing' to watch my 92" screen. Even Kiam's HM is impressed by it. Another one would be rx330's HM. That's the power of HD projector, which is the sole display panel that gives you cinematic experience in your home without busting your bank account.

woi, why drag my wife into it?

Boss, just to cite an example since most HMs or GFs oppose to HD pj. So, really need them to see in order to believe. My wife also same. If watch BD, she ll ditch the 43" and go to HT room to watch it o 92"

Minta ampun Tuanku

my wife says PJ best to watch with HD porn [tb]

That's a plasma man, different universe from LCD



If i'm not mistaken LG 40" 1080P is at around 4.3k, not sure the exact model though because I saw it at Carefour.


I believe in specs, for example the Phillips 32" LCD has a nice design with 33k contrast ratio, but with 8.5ms, that's not good enough for games with high FPS

Its actually true when we say we believe in our eyes. Try looking at the setup menu in the LCD TV, and bring ur desired Blu Ray or HD content to be viewed. Better yet, bring your own seperate PS3 if you have one and then try it out.

Then you will believe why it should be about believing your eyes.

My main usage for this 40"/42" LCD TV would be for gaming / blu-ray ,hd stuffs and watching video files from pc. So which LCD TV will better suit me?

Thanks

Mr. Ez~ spec is a first stage to select ur LCD TV. If spec is good but your eyes doesn't like it, no use...

hehe like choosing a wife, must choose the one with good attitude and looking, if good looking but no attitude also no good

@Mr. Ez, woah, if there was a girl reading this thread, you'd be in hot water already.

What you explained is correct too. So, either way, try to get both qualities in tact. The hard part is when you know the more quality a TV offers, the less cheaper it gets.

so far from what ive seen LG-32LB9R the best specs 10,000:1 / 5ms..the picture quality very nice too me.

Anyone know the difference of Sony Bravias series? I dunno all look the same with those W,S,V series..considering one in the future though.

One worse than the other, seriously

Edit: even htkaki not selling any Sony, further proves my point

erm.... i would say 'overpriced' for Sony LCD TVs (No offense to Sony fanboys)

What you buy is quality with satisfaction. Besides, I believe every people got different perception toward the LCD TV.

I'm afraid not, what you buy is actually packaging and marketing. Sony has completely cut off their TV R&D about 3 years ago. Panels are bought from Samsung or Benq, while Bravia engine is 100% outsourced for tuning. You are paying the extra for the Sony "stamp" and marketing. Not to say they are terrible, but I, as a consumer, wouldn't agree with their business strategy.

when i was shopping for my HDTV, i didn't even think of Sony. I thought of Sharp first and I am glad I purchased a Sharp HDTV which IMO looks better then Sony.

Indeed. Sony's BRAVIA is relatively good, but at a price you are paying for one you can easily get a better TV from LG, Sharp or even Toshiba at the same price point.

I'm not all for Philips Cineos though.... so damn sleek and sexy!

Update, Toshiba's newer batch of LCD TVs isn't what they used to be. I can't really tell whether it's the panel or the Regza, but something just doesn't go right. It just happen to local models (or may be even some other SE Asian country as well, but not Singapore). Pay extra attention when buying one, make sure you are satisfied with its quality rather than the brand before paying.

^ So what's the problem with the Toshiba's that made u said the above? I always thought the Toshiba's have very natural looking colors even at the store display.

From my minimal testing, I find the contrast not as good, and the textures on display isn't as smooth (or should I say too smooth I can't really see the pixels). That's just from watching Blu Ray & DVDs, can't confirm what's the difference from gaming. I didn't really care to test out any TVs lately until my friend (an A/V shop owner) invited me to test them out.

Hi, I have a question, not sure if this is the right place to post.
Basically when I hook up my pc with VGA cable D-sub to my LG scarlet on full hd, it work fine. Problem start when i hook up HDMI, the picture quality drop drastically. Even if i do a pixel to pixel (just scan in LG), it's still look very bad. It seem like certain detail or color is missing and it's not sharp at all.

I tried my notebook it has the same result. The HDMI cable is working fine i suppose, cause when i hook up with my monitor, it seem normal.

Could it be a defect?

Could it be your GC has problem with HDMI output? Or resolution problem?

I double check on that.. seem fine. 1920x1080.
I tested on my PC(DVI) and notebook(HDMI), they both having exact same problem.

Which model are you using? Might need some who have accessed to that model to be able to pin point the problem. I wouldn't mind going over to your place to see things out, but I'm from Sabah, minority here.

Otherwise take some pictures of it and I might be able to help as this kind of things are difficult to elaborate by words.

It's a 42LG60FR. I tried taking picture, it the photo couldn't tell the different. I suspect it's a color depth issue. The HDMI output seem like a 16 bit color.. I just swap another HDMI cable, the result is the same. The chances of me getting a defect LCD screen it's quite possible. Really tough luck, i dun really feel like sending it for repair right after the 3rd day of my purchase.

That sucks, and I really feel sorry for you. I remember I had to send my first LCD TV purchase the first day I got it. Tough luck? No, I still think flat panels have a long way to go to claim reliability.

May htkaki can help you out before sending it for repair as he has access to various panels.

Have you try it with DVDP that comes with HDMI output? Same problem?

Did try the DVD with hdmi output. But since the resolution is so bad, i cant really tell the different.

I'm quite sure it has something to do with color depth. It's output 16bit or below.

I actually went to another shop to test the same model, guess what, it has the same result! Really need some help, i've been browsing around, dun seem to find any solution.

Possible problem:
1. LG HDMI 1.3 deep color got problem(very unlikely).
2. Both of my PC and notebook could not output HDMI signal correctly.

Anyone has the same experience?

vampiric,have you tried going into the options of the tv?
that helps,you know.

if not,you might want to try changing the cable you're using.cheap cables tend to **** up easily,obviously....

Vampiric, can u take some pictures on how "bad" u'r TV actually looks when connected through HDMI using a PC.

U mentioned they look bad at 1080p. How about lower res, e.g 1080i or even 720p?
