Guys... i'm confuse know whether to choose plasma or LCD tv.
I'm in progress to setup home entertainment room. Which one is
better for watching blueray movies.... Perhaps i want to grab 42 inch
only

Hi i need advice...

Is it good to buy a 32 inch lcd TV for my new CPU for gaming and for internet as well as watching DVD and TV? is it advisable or still better to have 23 inch monitor for my new CPU? I saw that the series 3 samsung is selling now 1.5k so im thinking just getting it rather than the 23 inch monitor...

hi guys , i got a problem , i got a 40' lcd tv , not full hd , but the colour really sucks when the movie is somewhere in a dark place , my lcd kinda shows purple instead of black ... when its bright its okay , just when its dark .. help ? maybe i've set it wrongly ? thanks

What's the most worthwhile panel to get for 40~42"?
Haven't decide on anything yet.

Impressed by samsung's series 6, (the series 7 one is badly display, out of focus preview video).

Any idea to go on LED/Plasma or LCD? no specific budget on mind yet

1. bring your favorite bd,dvd,game to the tv shop and test it out. if they dont entertain you, there is always another shop.

2. do your homework or read all 4 version of this plasma/lcd..from my own exp, 9 out of 10 salesman in klang valley will push lcd and condemn plasma. old tech, cant last long, image retention and the latest i heard is plasma is good with astro but lcd is better with dvd..hahaha.

3. its your eyes and money. err ears too. tv sellers in lowyat.net is cheaper or on par with the dealers. really, i have compared prices for the last 6 months...

4.remember that in electronics the latest gadget today can be bested by almost double in performance by its successor within the SAME price range.

What does calibration means? I have been using LCD tv all these while but haven't heard of it before..

Heard it when I am researching for review over the internet recently..

Not looking for Plasma as I heard they are not recommended for HTPC purposes

A tv is still difficult to replace a real monitor which has construct to what it means when you are doing surfing, word processing etc.
unless it's a secondary screen, I wont advice getting a tv as a main screen..

Here is expert from http://bluray.highdefdigest.com talking about effect of similar to "burn-in" in LCD TV.

LCD TVs and Burn-In

Q: Are any of the current crop of flat-screen TVs friendly to the 4:3 format? I have had two flat-screen LCDs (both Westinghouse), one a 37", the other a 42", and had been assured that burn-in would not be a problem...and had burn-in problems with both. The Westinghouse was purchased less than six months ago. A lot of broadcast TV is still in 4:3, and of course classic films and television. Maybe a third of what I watch falls into that category. I was told LCD did not have burn-in problems, that only plasma did. But my LCDs do have problems. I also have a stuck pixel.

A: What you were told initially is (mostly) correct. LCD displays do not suffer from burn-in as it's typically defined. Burn-in is a danger to phosphor-based displays such as CRT and plasma. LCDs don't have phosphors that can burn an image into the screen.

However, LCDs can exhibit a similar condition called sometimes called pixel persistence, image retention, or video memory. The general idea is the same: If you leave a static image on screen for too long, that image can get stuck on the screen. The difference is that once a plasma or CRT exhibits burn-in, the condition is usually permanent. With an LCD, it can often be corrected by either leaving the TV off or displaying a solid gray image (such as from a video calibration disc) for an extended period of time. Also, it takes much longer static exposure for an image to stick on an LCD than it does plasma or CRT.

Burn-in and image retention are primarily factors of having improperly calibrated contrast on the TV. The "contrast" control is the screen's white level. If you have this set too high, the white is more likely to (for lack of a better word) "burn" an image into the screen. Calibrating this setting, either yourself with a calibration disc or by bringing in a professional, will greatly reduce the likelihood of this problem occurring.

I would also recommend varying up the content that you watch. You say that 4:3 shows and movies make up approximately 1/3 of your viewing. Try to spread that out interspersed with content that fills the screen.

You also mention that you have a stuck pixel. That's a completely separate problem caused by poor manufacture of the TV. Unfortunately, that can't be corrected.

Planning to get pioneer krp-500a soon. Any recommended electrical shop with good service where I can purchased from?

As I am fr Penang, I cannot advise u where. However, the name Desa gets thrown out a lot for good prices of the KRPs.

Also, u might wanna hurry, the stocks of the 500A are diminishing.
