Interesting....today just visited SenQ and they are offering a Sharp E700M 40" LED TV for only RM4399 after discounted from RM5699.That's a whooping 1k+ discount drool.gif

How is it?This is by far the cheapest LED backlit TV one can get in the current market rclxm9.gif

Comments are greatly appreciated rclxms.gif

Rm7500 for a 46"!!!!  I rather get a 1080p 50" plasma for rm5k. The rm2500 balance can buy PS3 n a bunch of games n BluRays.

I went Desa to buy the LG or Samsung 60/63" that they advertised for rm12999 n then can get PWP Philips or Yamaha soundbars at half price. When I went there the salesman quoted me rm14500 for the TV n rm500 more for the soundbar. All in, he wanted rm2k more than advertised price. He said the newspaper ad doesn't apply. WTF!!!!! Supersalesman of the year award goes to him la. rclxms.gif

Burn in issues in Samsung and LG's plasma together with Panny's black level problems, should i jump ship to LCD/LED backlight TVs?

50"++ got LCDs cost a bomb,even more if LED backlights,right now plasma 50"++ are much cheaper, so this is the dilemma i face sad.gif

And btw, i really hated the Transformers 2 in 100HZ.It really sucked(to me) because it looks damn fake.Playing it on my laptop with lower HZ is so much better smile.gif

full hd and hdmi

normal watch is using full hd ?


Usually when people get Full HD televisions, you have to have Full HD content to play on your FHD television. You can either

1) Get Astro Beyond where there are several channels in HD(720p/1080i)
2) Buy and play Blu Ray movies/games
3) Play 1080p or HD content from your computer/laptop
4) Get an upscaling DVD/Blu ray player which can upscale your DVD's to HD resolution. But this won't be as good as playing BD movies/games lar smile.gif

Else, you won't be getting that "High Definition" effect. In fact, you might be getting poorer Picture Quality than what you might have gotten with your previous television.

QUOTE
when come to dvd then use hdmi ?

My current television(not FHD) uses RCA cables(the red,yellow and white) to connect to the DVD player.

I bet you can also use HDMI cable for your FHD television provided there's a port there lar biggrin.gif

QUOTE
lcd/led use hdmi cable to connect with dvd player ?


Yes. You can use other types of cables also. And USB 2.0 also I reckon if it's available lar

QUOTE
normally they will free hdmi cable when u buy lcd/led ?


Depends on the shop you're purchasing it from lor. But usually I see they're bundled in FOC lar.

QUOTE
wat things need to double check when buy new lcd/led ?

Check for dead pixels lor

shld ask any accessories form them ?
thx
Perhaps a DVD/BD player or a Home Theater system? smile.gif

You might want to try Desa Home Theater in LYP ground floor. Seems like they have good deals there, better than big chains like Harvey Norman or Best Denki.

Would like to ask whether the current LED/Plasma TVs has an option to play videos on 24p instead of the horrible 100HZ or more?

Yeah... but i think la.. the smooth motion thing is very personal... For me, the movie purposely make it very low fps, at just 24fps or 30fps, to create the "movie" effect, why would ppl want to kill off the effect with those fast motion tech? I watched those with very smooth motion one, i felt like vomiting, because it really makes the movie so "life-like", which defeat the purpose of a movie. Movie is shot at low fps have their own reason, it creates some tense very dramatic scenes. If it is always running at high fps, which is created by those smooth motion thingy, it will be like a real-life show, no more feeling.. Like ppl wan B&W effect, why? Because of nostalgic scene, same like that is movie effect.. for movie scene.. But, the smooth motion thingy is very good for live-show, concerts, TV-shows, real-life scene, sports.. It really comes down to personal thinking and preferences. For me, i prefer movie to be movie, not a fake movie smile.gif But i think the effect can be switched off or on la, so it is good if u have the extra money to buy 120hz or 240hz one.. i think for samsung, should go for UA40D5000 instead..

I think you confused between "frame rate" and "refresh rate".

FYI, the Sony 50Hz panel, runs at 48Hz refresh rate to display 24 frame per second movies.

A film is shot at 24 frames per second. but it WAS NEVER displayed at that refresh rate of 24Hz in any display panel in the world because  it will be unwatchable due to blurring, a real film produce discreet scene, unlike constant scene on display panels, the transition in pixel between frames creates artifacts.

Most is if not all LCD panels are capable of interpolation to create addition frames, for the 24fps to be displayed at 120fps. BUT those function  CAN be DISABLED, the refresh rate is still at 120HZ, but only 24fps , by repeating 5 times the same frame. (5:5 pulldown ). On a plasma (600Hz)the frame it is repeated 12 times.

Those motionflow interpolation are just gimmicks and act as add-on to 120hz refresh rate feature.

The purpose of 120Hz is for 3D mode at speed of 120fps, were the 60Hz is doubled to produce 60 fps for left eye and 60 fps for right eye. In case of Active 3D lcd.

Anyway based on professional AV enthusiast, watching 3D HD movies in low light ambient. NOTHING BEATS A PLASMA 3D!! 

Its a fact that Active 3D LCD LED panels have to viewed them in dark room to avoid the flickering of shutter glasses. In a dim lit  room they are painful for the eyes, toning down brightness degrades picture quality, unlike plasmas.


Added on November 14, 2011, 1:44 pmOh BTW.. Fastest LCD refresh rate is 240Hz.. beyond that rate that is nothing but LED backlight blinking, like 480++ scene per second, not Hz.

Guess I'm having the same problem with ben3003 here.

Might be getting a new TV soon. Really hate that super smooth motion in movies. I think it was last year I think where I saw a 120Hz tv was displaying Avatar at super smooth motion. Damn fake and feel like wanna vomit also.

All I'm asking is how to remove that "effect"? Is there an option in the TV? What sort of TV I should be looking at?

Budget probably around RM5-7k or so

Hey man, long time no see, remember me? We used to play badminton in JJB court smile.gif But i left KL already, cant join u guys. Good to hear ppl having the same feel as i do smile.gif 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 smile.gif Some ppl might be dizzy to see all the fast flying scene at movie, so they need this kind of things smile.gif

Sure I remember you smile.gif Left KL already? Ahh no wonder haven't heard from you for some time now. Let's see if we can play again in the future yeah? biggrin.gif

Do you know whether there's an option to turn off that effect?

All sifus,

I am looking for a plasma TV (like the deep black) but my viewing area (can't change the location, cannot change curtain as well) has lots of natural light in the afternoon and downlights at night. Reflection is not good smile.gif

So is there any plasma TV models with matte screen in Malaysia right now?
Or do I definitely have to go with matte LED TV?

Thanks for help smile.gif

Best plasmas currently are from Panasonic who bought over the legendary KURO tech from Pioneer. Look for their VT and ZT series brows.gif

Not sure if there any matte Plasmas hmm.gif
