G'day there peeps!, im thinking getting my very first LCD TV as my old TV its dying (color fading etc.).

Im pretty noob in this LCD TV, what should i look for?.. esp. nowadays theres 60hz, 100hz, and now 600hz?!... its that just marketing trick?..

Btw, my budget its rm3.5k (whats the best value for that budget either LCD or Plasma recommendation its fine, do tell why tho..^^) for 40inch and above (with good stand as im not planning to wall-mount it).

Lastly... juz wondering.. its it a good time to buy?.. (i know.. i know... thats pretty lame question ).

Thanks in advanced for those who replied

(Fyi : will be using for movies and PS3 games).

Cheers

samsung LA40650.

Wow... pretty quick reply there.. not to mention the time.. lol

Btw, any pros/cons on the Samsung LA40650?.. and how much izzit?..

Cheers

I might sound a little blunt but you should do some reading/reviews on your own after getting recommendations.

I got a good deal on Panasonic 42" Full HD Plasma, P42S10K below RM3000. RM3500 will land you on 42" Plasma on most brands.

or Panasonic Plasma P42X10K. much cheaper

He wants FullHD la

hehe...now you can see forummers are divided into two...LCD and Plasma users

Plasma user..hehe like me...swear by them...even against LCDs that are FULLHD.
The Plasmas natural colors, better blacks and nice view from wider angles just wins...

If wanna talk about sharpnest of a FullHD how sharp you want a picture to be?
Are you using Bluray sources for you TV? For the normal DVD, Astro or even MKV files..
Plasma is just right. Of course Plasma also has FullHD models but are expensive.


Get the Panny Plasma

acterly not so much cheaper.. I think only 250-300 difference..

for that amount, you are getting 1million lesser pixel (between 1366x768 and 1920x1080).. which I think not so good bargain..

tat panny only 1024 X 768

so far the 600hz is panasonic plasma TV, not LCD TV, LCD TV highest is 200Hz and it is more smoother than plasma 600hz.

most of the LCD TV are around 60hz or 100hz while 200hz is for higher end model.

i recommend you go for samsung series 6 LCD TV 32"

Oh its not even 768p for x10? Then overpriced lor usa selling around rm1.9k

grab the panny P42S10K and be happy...

sorry for a noob question...is 600hz on plasma same as 100hz on LCD?

As I said, its war between LCD and Plasma Users...everyone says theirs is better...

For me is plasma

dun my old Panny PV70 cost 5.4K!!...nevermind, I'll change it when I really see a big difference from the current crop.
So far, seems like those expensive LED samsung are the ones that really look nice now.

Sorry to borrow your thread bro, i am a noob who is looking for a Full HD TV

So far got these 2 Panny models in my mind which are Plasma 42S10K and LCD 37G10K. Their price are about the same but don't know which is better

Therefore, got few things to consider as below which are:
Screen Size: 42>37 plasma wins
For Astro: ???
For Xbox and PS3: ???
For RMVB Movies: ???
Picture quality(sharpness,brightness etc): ???
The user always pause game or leave tv on: ???
Image retention or burn in: ???

Don't know what else i can consider, if u do please list them out...
I hope all the brothers and sisters here can help me out...Any comments are welcome...thanks a lot

I see.. hmm... i kinda confused abt refreshrate too... esp. Plasma vs LCD.

Some of my frens said theres hardly noticeable at 60hz... hmmm...

Yea.. thats the thing.. its confusing at times.. which ones are better (LCD vs Plasma).. lol

And abt my usage, will be some PS3 gaming too, so movies and gaming.

Panasonic S10 eh?.. hmmm... whats the cheapest for it now?... any on going special deals/package going on?..

Yea, Samsung LED looks good.. but definately out of my budget =/

Cheers
