I've been reading about this "burn in " defects on plasma tvs at gamefaqs.com board. Many of them experience it after using the tv for quite some time.

Is this true?

How do I transform my Dell 2005FPW 20" widescreen LCD monitor into a HDTV?

Can anyone here give me some insights on the following LCD tvs:

1) Toshiba Regza 37" 37A3000
2) Samsung 32" LA-32R81BX
3) Haier 37" L37A10A

-Toshiba Regza has only 1 HDMI (v1.3) input and can only do up to 1080i.
-Samsung has a nice design and has 3 HDMI inputs.
-Haier....hmmm...

Questions:
-What does Game mode mean? When a lcd tv that has this feature, does this mean it will enhance the graphics for my xbox360?
-When I want to watch Astro or our current tv broadcast ie TV3, 8TV, etc. I will expect the picture to be pixellated right?
-Response time is mostly 8ms I've seen so far for these LCD tvs. You think this response time is ok for my xbox360?
-What complications that lcd tv might have compared to plasma tvs? Burn ins? Dead pixels? Does LCD tv has a half life of 60k hours like plasma tv?
-contrast ratio & brightness... how to know what ratio is better?

So far I'm eyeing on Toshiba Regza 37" but only 1 HDMI? Come on....

Your feedbacks are appreciated. Thanks!

I saw Philips 42" LCD tv with full HD 1080p at Queensbay Jusco selling at RM6999. Is this for real???

I thought full HD 1080p LCDs would go over RM10k right? Philips is really making a surprise here.
