Man I have to agree with you guys, most of the dudes in SenQ and even some in Harvey norman just don't know their stuff. Brought my Star Wars Episode 3 to try and I'm quite disappointed that the LCDs refresh rate is quite bad. The first space battle scene just stutters and lags. Didn't happen to the plasmas and crts. Looked at the Samsung Slimfit, but somehow the display just wasn't that great. Dunno whether it was the settings or what. But seriously these fellas don't even know how to set their dvd players to progressive scan.

Was wondering if anyone has the Digital Video Essentials or the Avia calibration DVD that I can pinjam? Just bought a Philips LCD and I want to calibrate the color.

Which model is this Philips FullHD and how much was it in Denki? Was it the 42PFL9532 or 42PFL7422?

Ah I see, this one is a bit suspect, if you look at the computer resolution it doesn't have 1920x1080. So kinda wondering why but the video resolution does show 1080p. Strange but good price if based on the Jusco price

All Juscos or just the one in JB?

But if you look at the Philips Cineous range, it is actually one of the top rated LCDs together with the Panny. The problem with HDTVs is that almost every major manufacturer has at least 1 top rated screen and a large number of crappy ones.

Thinking of buying the Pana TH 42 PV70 (its UK brother the TH42PX70 just won the What HiFi 2007 Awards for best 42 inch screen. Any one here uses a this or a plasma? I guess for movies its good because of the blacker than black levels and good motion but how about games? Lag, refresh times...anyone care to comment?

Thanks rx, yeah for the price its a pretty good deal, and I guess they might be releasing newer ones with 1080p support. Unfortunately must work within budget Are you connecting any next gen consoles to it? 360 or PS3? How's the performance?

That's what I thought too, who needs 1080p at 42"

Anyhow, Desa is selling it at 4488 I think but only 1 yr warranty...which makes it kinda risky. Rather get a 5 yr warranty.

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?

Do a search for Hitachi P42TP01, I think its the equivalent. Most likely getting the Panny end of the month after I move in to my new place. Money needs to go into fixtures and furniture now...so broke...

ORLY? Cool, I guess they fixed it for this market...hmm...well crappy cables do lose their signal quality over distance...might be safer to get the Panny. Sony also having some CNY promotion, lots of bundles with their HTIB solutions. Saw it in Midval.

Ah so! One thing I want to find out is whether the Panny accepts 1080p/24 , wonder if RX can answer that. I know it accepts 1080p and downscale, but dunno if its accepts the 24fps thing and display them without judder.

Alamak, but no release date yet...some more dunno when the local version come out...

edit- coming out maybe May 2008

Unless the price of the PV70 drops further because of this announcement...hehe

Its still there, but its only 28", so will look tiny in the living area, so wanna get a new one. Will probably sell that one.

Oo nia boh? So you watch bulu lei got judder or still smooth?

Mm the denki offer sounds good since got 3 yrs warranty....hmm to save money or get 3 yrs warranty..

Just dropped by best denki today and it looks like they are offering 5 yrs instead of 3 yrs warranty for the PV70. The dude there kept on saying the LG42PC7RV was better though

Same with Denki, I think you can get it at 4900 if you don't go for the 0% payment.
