Boss, just to cite an example tongue.gif 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"

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.biggrin.gif

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 icon_rolleyes.gif

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. biggrin.gif

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

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. sad.gif

One worse than the other, seriously

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

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

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.

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?
