Recently my dad was considering on getting either a LCD / LED tv ... the salesman told him that LED tv is not recommended for watching astro. If i am not mistaken he said something like the image would be too bright or something... I wonder how true is this?

anyone can enlighten me?

Its more like the image you will see will be very pixalated (full of little squares in video) because of the extreme clarity.

Face it. Current astro decoder is not mean to use on ANY HDTVs.

Thanks for the explanation... that means even LCD TV will have the same issue just that is not as severe as the LED tv ?

I heard that plasma is the better choice for watching Astro ..

I am currently using LCD to watch astro, picture quality is pretty good, the only problem is the narrow viewing angle and slow response time

Yes. But you only use your TV for Astro?

Not really .. but most of the time yeah..

Then, you need to decide Plasma or LCD/LED LCD.

what brand n model u use?
thanks

LED ar?even LCD and plasma issue oso still many, people want to buy led ar...but, its ur money and its ur decision....there are still any pro n cons abt plasma n lcd and now LED...hehe..

All 3 major commercially available display formats have their issues, pro's and cons. There has never been anything with 100% display satisfaction. And there never will be any yet,not for this moment. Except CRT if you can still live with it and the size limitations. Use a 14" CRT and the PQ will be surely fantastic if you get what I mean.
If ever there are any format commercially available that is 100% without any issues then tell me and I will definitely buy it if the price is right to me. I have used all 3 formats and will continue to seek a 4th format.

Astro is only displaying analog video so you should expect analog type of quality. But not all channels are bad and some channels are preety good but definitely not yet to HD resolutions.

I have recently ordered Sharp LCD 77M series and wonder how it looks on Astro. Is there any brand of LCD which will make a difference with Astro viewing?

Which one is worth buying, Samsung model?

(1). LCD FHD LA46B650 = rm6k

(2). LED TV UA46B6000 = rm8k

Is it worth to pay extra rm2k for LED?

There are only Plasma & LCD at this moment. OLED will be a thing in the distant future.

LED/CCFL are only backlightings technologies supporting LCD.. They should not be considered a different platform

There is always a price to pay for higher specs and premium products..

for me la...if watching astro, the quality will not be much different even u buy the expensive one...if u watch bluray-disc, thats another question...about astro hd, we just wait..

Totally agree. it even feels HD after long hours of Astro on LCD.

Guess will settle down with a LCD tv.. Plasma is somehow a bit old to me and not to mention the shorter life span

where did you heard Plasma life span is short? In fact, nowaday, LCD and Plasma have similar life span.

i think u should make homework again la bro...just google!!!
think b4 u write..hehe!!no harm..
So, LED is the latest...just go n buy la...if got problem then dun ask here...here are all plasma-ism n oso lcd-ism coz LED-ism people not yet write here..tq

And your point is ???

plasma panel will last much longer than lcd
