Whatever it is, I'm playing on a samsung with my 360 and I don't get any lag whatsoever. But the Aquos gets better reviews all round . Maybe not on the design..

yeah it does support 720p. Progressive images are better unless your playing...Golf..or something.. I dunno

Sharp LC65G5M 65" TV- RM72,000

Pioneer &th Gen Plasma - Supports 1080p but dwnscales to 720p


all I know

1080p through component is available on both consoles. Having an HDTV that can actually accept 1080p through component is very unlikely.

Gee thanks!

Nah, I love AV. So, I read here and there and memorize useful things in my head.

There are a few in Malaysia, but numbers are increasing at the rest of the world.

Some that we have here are:
Sony BRAVIA X-Series - 40" RM15,999 46" RM19,999 52" RM50,000
Sony SXRD Rear Projection - 50" RM15,000 60" RM19,000 70" RM30,000
Sony SXRD Front Projection - VPL-VW100 RM32,999 VPL-VW50 RM17,999
Etc.

Sony is basically the High Roller of Full HD products in Malaysia.

3 years ago a decent 720p 42" plasma model could set you back RM25,000. My dad bought our Pioneer Plasma for 27,999.

This year my dad bought a 42" 720p Hitachi plasma for 13,999.

I guess 2-3 years from now 1080p models could go into the same phase. If a 40" 1080p model is around RM15,000 now, by next year that would be around 13,000 and by the next, 10,000 is possible.

I dunno

with 32" 720p and 1080p looks the same, no difference. A good 32" HDTV could could set u back 5k++.

Samsung does good ones, why not you go check at :-
Tan Boon Ming - Old Klang Road, Bangsar Village.
Best Denki - One Utama

They are quite reliable.

Yesterday, yesterday I was one of the few in Malaysia who has demo-ed the Sony VPL-VW50 (pearl) at Mediaplex KLCC. So, I helped out a bit. This was no means a small projector, was'nt a light one either. Once we took it out of the box, and set it up on the table, we proceeded with shifting the lens to fit a leviathan 100" DNP supernova screen. Put in a disc then there was a problem - HDMI issue. After 30 minutes or so we found out that the HDMI output on the DVD player was loose, WTF. Changed settings on DVD player to 1920 X 1080i and let the Pearl do the de-interlacing to 1080p.

The result? Outstanding picture quality that matches the Pearl's Big Brother the Ruby (VPL-VW100) in most parts. Picture quality out of the box is about 80-85% of the Ruby's quality. The Black depth is very deep, and colours were rich and vibrant. A downside that we saw was that the Pearl lacked sharpness and results in a somewhat soft picture. De-interlacing was neat but once in a while you could still see interlace artifacts. This could be gone with the help of a video processor like DVDO, Lumagen, or the Crystalio II. Even with NR (Noise Reduction) off we could see none or little noise on the screen even with a sub-1k Ringgit Pioneer DVD player. I'm going there again on the weekends and might just bring my 360 along to test it out. I spoke to the Executive director Mr. Tan, nice chap and obviously he has a lot of knowledge in AV. He also said if i could wait, they're bringing in the Mitsubishi HC5000 by the end of this month to be demo-ed. I'm keen to wait and see how it performs. All I know is that It's cheaper than the Pearl, and the de-interlacing capability as well as sharpness is a notch above the Pearl.

Still, we will have to wait. I'd be happy to help them set up the mitsubishi once it arrives.

Those who are interested in this product and Mediaplex's wide range of products can contact Mr. Tan at 0123368838.

The Sony VPL-VW50 is sold at RM17,999, whereas the Sony VPL-VW100 is sold at RM32,999.

Don't worry one day if durian runtuh then why not.

i dunno bout u guys, but astro on our pioneer looks pretty good

even on composite

Owh man, i feel so happy hearing (reading) this !

Congrats to String for having the Playtest at KLCC! wish i was there but i'm at holidays with my family. Please kirim salam Gary, Mr. Tan and Azhari. Cakap Farhan, they'll know me. If they don't then NVM

Oi go to sleep

JK.

First of all, Hope you have a pleasant stay here in Lowyat and please make sure to stay out of trouble.

1. The Samsung N-Series is part of the mosel series. They are the flagship of Samsung's LCD TVs and offer a better picture then their R and S-Series. It offers 2 HDMI inputs like the Sharp. It has multiple card slots to view all your pictures and vids. Printer input and USB inputs are a nice touch. Picture quality is comparable to the other two. But it's features make it a better buy. It also has looks to match. Samsung's LCD TVs look great anywhere in your home.

2. Yes. It does.

3. They all look more or less the same. The quality is watchable, it doesn't go to the extend where you want to kill yourself, no. It's pretty decent actually.

All in all i think you should go to a shop to compare these three.

I'd take the samsung since it's fine with gaming, the price is right, and there are many features. This TV is for the casual gamer who sits back, relax, and appreciates what he sees in the telly. Go for it.

It's a very good TV both for gaming and astro purposes. Many people in the world aren't complaining bout this HDTV. Arj is using this one. I have a slightly older model, but still my games on ps2 and 360 look marvellous. DNIe doesn't kacau as much as older model so yopu shouldn't worry.

Peace

upscaling works with HDMI input only.

yah.

true that.

well at least we've got stuff micronesia doesn't have

DA1200ES is a really good receiver. Magazines seem to like it. Yamahas VX2600 is not bad for your range.

if he would get a 1080p plasma he'd be spending twice the amount of money (PRO FHD-1)

what's your display bro?
need a processor just look for me

Haeir's not bad, it is a universally known TV.

Go for Samsung or Sony if u have the money
