Because at that screen size, some of us can see the difference between 720p/768p and 1080p. I mean, sure....i love how plasma recreates the correct and natural color tones and paints the deepest blacks, but i treasure higher resolution more than those. A lot of people dont know that you dont judge those LCDs and plasma arrays you see on display at showrooms immediately, because they are not calibrated. A proper calibration will get you close enough to how them plasma look, albeit with reduced black levels. That is good enough for me, and that is what i did to my Bravia X.

Ouch! thanks for sorting it out. Hmm.. so the 42" seems like a better buy than the 52" Kuro. Then again, by the time i'm ready to buy a new TV, who knows the prices might have gone waaaayyy down.

I was surprised to see a 42 or was it 40" Sony W Series 1080p for RM 8999. They were playing Blu-ray Kung-Fu Hustle and it looked pretty good.

those who bought it at 9999 last year sure is unlucky, especially those tat bought on dec 31st

^ Oh u mean RM 8999 is 2008's pricing?

Sharp Aquos LC-37PX5M i got this LCD from my uncle. do u'd think its ok!? kinda search about it. but nothin much could be found. no full-HD. sigh

and i think its kinda cheap. was a house warming gift. lol. i mean its good and all. but i thought like there is a newer model add rm400 can get it di.

anyone using it as well? watched a dvd on it. seemed pretty dark.

24p = 24 (frames per second) progressive. The movies we see in theatres (old and new) are all shot on film at 24 frames per second which gives it the cinematic feel. Some newer movies (ie Matrix, Star Wars 1-3 etc) which are shot digitally, continue the tradition of it being 24p.

It differs from Plasma/LCD resolution/video signal which is typically PAL 25p/50i or NTSC 30p/60i.

I also get confused at times... too many formats

How come my uncles never give me LCDs as gifts? Darn it!!

How do you guys judge the PQ quality? based on the movie played by the shop or you byo source?

I m looking at shops that allows me to bring my own dvd and ps3 to test...and ofcoz with reasonable pricing, anyone knows any?

I judge by looking at skin tones. I know its not the right way but i hate looking at reddish skin tones.

yahoo juz ordered a 46'' bravia X for rm17,000 which comes with free 5 years warranty and free 1 year insurance warranty.. now, to convince my dad to get another 40'' X for me..

please give us your review on the LCD. Planning to get the unit you have or the 100Hz LC37A53M.

I'm using one, but the 32 inch model. Hmm, CHEAP? You must be damn rich

About the dvd, did you using dvd player with upscaling picture? If no maybe you can get one.
If yes, then you need to play with the setting. Not everyone have same taste.

It maybe not the newest model, but I think it more than enough.

Try feeding it with 720p source and you will see how good this baby is !

Went to Best Denki KLCC on Wednesday and saw this price tag.

46" 1080p Samsung monitor for less than 10k

Asked the sales person and he said it is for new monitor and not display unit.

M series? wow, means tat new model coming soon

Hey RX,

did u consider the Hitachi P42A01A before getting u'r Panasonic? The Hitachi is RM 200 cheaper and i personally like the "looks/design" better..

Checked some reviews online on that as I was also suggested that model by a retailer and the main thing the reviews hated was the fact that 1 of the 2 HDMI ports is located in the front of the TV. Very unsightly. Also it has some weird 1080p resolution as it is not the typical 1900x1080 but something else, something to do with rectangular shaped pixels?
