Is that your personal opinion ?
QUOTE(-kytz- @ Dec 6 2009, 11:06 AM) Plasma tvs obviously as better and deeper black levels,better motion rendition and of course better viewing angles..Thus,plasma tvs trumps LCD or these so called LED tvs in PQ  |

Not really....i just quoted it from reliable sources.Besides, if u do your own research, u will find out that Plasma has better PQ than LCDs or LEDs.Plasmas having better viewing angle and deeper blacks aren't something new you know Added on December 6, 2009, 5:35 pm QUOTE(robertngo @ Dec 6 2009, 12:30 PM) people still have perception that plasma have burn in problem, but almost all the plasma produce in the recent years have included technology to prevent burn in. Burn in meaning needs warm up?  This post has been edited by -kytz-: Dec 6 2009, 05:35 PM |

This is usually a problem when you only watch one channel for long periods of time |

I'm not sure but RM20 for 5 channels is impossible because they are going to lose a lot of money Fingers crossed* Hopdfully it won't be that expensive for us consumers >.< |
