i wanna ask, what is the theory behind plasma 1024x768 reso to display 720p or 1080p 16:9 aspect ratio screen without stretching or distort the entire thing? because 1024x768 is a 4:3 aspect ratio, but i see plasma tv the shape is same like 16:9, right? it doesnt look like an older boxed lcd monitor which is displaying 4:3 ratio..

Added on November 18, 2011, 12:34 amhmm, i tried to watch a 40inch that i tot it is a 42inch, i felt that it is quite small, then i compare another 42inch without realizing the previous one was 40inch, i was wondering why this one looks bigger, and more comfortable, i just realized that the first one is 40inch after watching closely at the tag. My viewing distance is about 10feet..

Btw, i just found out from my own question that actually plasma pixel is not square, it is rectangular pixel, so actually it is displaying 16:9 aspect ratio with 1024x768 reso.. but how they do conversion those i not yet discover... it is still good enuf for motion but if wan do pc input, abit headache because pc output 1024x768 as 4:3 ratio, then it would look funny on a plasma.. maybe need to do something if wan use pc input.. so less hassle if get 1080p plasma panel..

any recommended tv for playing ps3 in my room, probably viewing distance is like 2-2.5m. is it worth to pay extra for 1080p for a 32inch led?

i guess i'll be paying 1k-1.5k max.. my room arent big tho.. seems like most of the games are the same reso.. I saw samsung have a 32inch led tv with clear motion rate 100, does it produce better motion? I have my eye on samsung UA32D5000PR, toshiba 32PS10E, sony KDL-32EX520.

oh.. so u guys recommend me which to get? i think my room viewing distance 2m max, maybe around 1-1.5m if i buy a sofa to seat. Should i opt for LCD tv? cos sony 32inch LCD tv 1080p around 1.3k, if led need add 1k more ><

saw review saying the black level arent nice is it really that bad?

It is true that nowadays electronics is not as durable as last time. U know why TV is cheaper to buy compared to last time? Because u pay for the materials used pay more for better, pay less for lesser And another things is because of lead free policy. Now all solder is lead free and it is less durable and more problem. This is a problem I know from amd engineer, while I working there as intern. So it isn't. Bullshit,i is real shit

how much u got offered for no.4? u should list out the price as well for me i like Panasonic ips panel. actually around the price range, u just go with the one suit ur budget and the best function they offer. all is not LED tv right? the ex520 should be a led tv tho..

Hey man, long time no see, remember me? We used to play badminton in JJB court But i left KL already, cant join u guys. Good to hear ppl having the same feel as i do in fact alot of ppl doesnt really like the smooth effects, waay too fake. A movie is meant to be like tat, the smooth motion thingy makes the scene looks like got trail behind when the ppl move.. a very smooth trail... If for sports and reality show, or TV shows, it is fine because for me, movie are shot like that and meant to be watched like that Some ppl might be dizzy to see all the fast flying scene at movie, so they need this kind of things

Yeah, but currently outstation at Lumut, Perak but i am based in Miri. Hopefully there is a chance i think there should be, because i heard if u play games with the effects on, you will have input lag.

is panasonic 42inch E3K series a good buy? SenQ selling rm1999.. i got a 32inch lcd tv panny one, seems very nice compare to my sony 32inch but both is basic model la... i dont know should i get 42inch or 32inch for my room.. if 32inch, Sharp brand nice? wanna use it in my bed room, viewing range from my bed to the tv is around 2m-2.5m..

sharp 40 inch also around tat price.. also not bad i think.. too bad pana e3k series not ips-alpha panel... maybe will lose to samsung S-PVA panel..

any cheap fullhd plasma worth looking for? senq is having stock clearance at my hometown currently..

LCD TV=LED TV in terms of panel used. Only difference is, the lighting they use, LCD use CCFL tube while LED use LED, both also on the edge lighting. So he say normal astro will blur on LED is true, while byond is blur on LCD is total bullshit. LED only have better contrast ratio than LCD but nowhere near Plasma black depth and color reproduction. LED TV should be called LED LCD TV, this is the real term.

any good LED tv that is aroudn the range of samsung series 6? for room usage, maybe 42inch is good enuf.

i wanna ask, sony w674a and w654a got wat difference? some ppl say 654a only has 50hz becos is for PAL region, while some say 654a no hdmi audio return channel.. cos at my hometown, senq selling 654a only at rm1899, while sony centre selling 674a at rm1999 as per retail price.
