Hi Folks... Any review for this LCD tv - Sharp FullHD AQUOS 100hz LCD TV [LC-42A77M] ?

Im thinking to buy this but not sure is the 100hz really worth a lot to buy or not? Cant see much review for this LCD tv.. Thank you.

for gaming,100hz its help. i regret didnt get 100hz last time. how much can u get for 42a77? im using sharp,but very old model,px5m

100hz good for games and fast pace sports (football) viewing only... but for watching BD movies, do avoid, coz it makes the movie looks like captured using handycam...

btw, if the TV can switch on/off the 100hz so, its good...

If you comparing against the LC-42A66M the LC-42A77M is a 10 bit panel vs 8 bit panel and have deep colour while the other do not have....
This will indeed enhance your BD experience but 100hz is helpful for motion... 50hz motion on a big screen at near distance watching can be really "not nice" to the eyes....

yeah it's terrible..

film movies end up look like real live video cam documentaries instead...

hmm... thanks for the information.. I saw jintex is selling RM41XX now.. By looking to the above comment.. It seems like 100hz need to be turn off while watching blueray movie.. Only good for game.. Actually im thinking to go for Panny S10k, but i just kinda worried of the image retent on the screen when playing a game.. and LCD is less relfection when comparing to Plasma.

now only i knew,that 100hz is not good with BD. just curious,46 inch Z450A Series Full HD BRAVIA LCD TV with 200hz motionflow look nice on BD,i saw it at mid valley,of course,price double. BD best view with plasma?

I wonder how many ppl who purchased the Plasma TV before got image retention problem? I also use Plasma. So far so good.

For retention maybe rare.. but i can see the refelction of the plasma compare to LCD very obvious when it put side by side. Anyway, no deny that BD in plasma is awesome...

What did u actually mean by that.

My Sony is 100hz but I never turn it off while watching BD. I don't see anything weird

i mean, the movie's framerate becoming so smooth, instead of 24fps (movies framerate) it becomes 60fps (handycam framerate)...

im not good explaining this technical stuff, maybe bro ar188 can explain it better...

Well my Sony still showing 1080/24p so I don't think it becomes 60hz while playing BD. It does however shows 1080/60p while playing R1 DVD.

dunno how to explain also.. just know it look like real world video cam corder effect..

then I just believe to whatever my tv tells me la

shouldn't you believe what your eyes are telling you instead..

my eyes said all good but appreciate bigger screen

Image Retention is slowly becoming a thing of the past for plasma.. but better take percaution... better dun take risk after spending a few k...
As for reflection... need to be careful.. Malaysia is a country with bright sunny days.... Make sure the place you place the TV is away from direct light source....
Having both LCD and plasma and now placing the plasma where the LCD used to be... can see difference.. now see minor reflection where with LCD last time cannot be seen...
But on a side-note... can view from any angle now without wash-out colours... LCD must pick "fengshui" place to watch tv.....

my friend purchased his 42" a77 for 4.8k just 2 weeks ago!
41xx is definately a steal.

neoardi n ar188, i tot tat effect is from 200hz? 100hz no such issues

wow temppei .... 4.1k is really a good deal !

just got this baby at a very good price ... good tv indeed !

hai members,

i'm the ex r & d engineer at sharp doing the developement, yes, the LC-42A77M under our research..i'm glad that if have buy it. but if yo haven't buy it please check for the LED TV with blue ray. don't miss the sharpness of the LED TV of sharp..but if you still want to have the 42A77 it much better because all LED for ALL brands are in testing development..

don't worry, Although made from Malaysia but the technologies still from Japan

hi safuanujar..

since u work at SIRIM can i check for my new SAMSUNG 40' LCD TV (LA40B530)..I bought it for RM2550 last week .the price quite cheap for FULL HD tv with this size..im worrried for that. as i know this model is 50hz and no usb compared to the series 6 which are not big problem for me..

my place sell it for rm6k..

ok...for this model, pass all safety requirements, all part made and controll by samsung. i'll give advice only for safety only..on performance we did not check..

Hi,

Would appreciate some advice..

LC-42A77M - Can switch off the 100hz on demand?

Was offered at RM 3300. Is this considered good price at the moment, or it just that all LCD TVs prices have come down drastically?

Thanks!

RM3300 definately good price...where you got the offer ?

can' t tell you

Come on mate, share it with us ... after all, its LYN where we share and care...

2 pages and no review?

anybody care to share? thanks!

yeh...PM us lah

get it at Harvey Norman Warehouse Sales (Shah Alam) .. today @3499 (display unit only 2 days old display unit). Normal unit at 3699.

valid until today 6pm!

how do u know it is displayed for 2 days old only.....

don't simply believe the salesman saying..

whatever man..... i am telling the price after visited the place AND NOT to discuss if it is a 2 or not 2 days issue. Whatz the point ha???

don fight,don argue...

can anyone having this Sharp tv give any review ? how is it for PC gaming ? refresh rate is already good at100Hz, how about response time, what ms is it ?

For 42" LCD, Sharp or LG better ? LCD price very competative
