hi bro i wan buy lcd ..

LED = LCD. Only the backlight is different. u should consider LED if u got budget.

For me LCD are just oversized computer screens......go for plasma and LED

Anyway, that package you mention is still expensive....

Don't think it is wise to rush for a big tv since you are going to pay for quite a substantial amount of money for it

If I were you, I will do the below:

1. Identify which size to get with your current viewing distance
2. Go to the shop to check out the tv, best if could compare side by side then list down the models you are interested
3. Compare the specs and features offered and the their prices
4. Survey around these models and read through their reviews for pros and cons against your priority for the tv
5. Narrow it down to the final 1 or 2 models and seek feedbacks on these models from the existing owners if available
6. Make final decision to pull the trigger

Asking an open question on which tv to get will make you more confused at the end, worse your thread might be get hijacked for irrelevant debate again

i just watch astro so i need go plasma of lcd ??????

If you source is only from Astro, I think Plasma is a better buy as most of Astro's channel are still in SD..

wth does plasma of lcd mean
i thought plasma and lcd tvs are separate

Plasma = fakap

LCD of plasma? Howzabout buying a Plasma of LCD?

Do you intend to subscribe to Astro Byond? If yes then Plasma. If not then CRT is best for Astro.

yes i will upgrade to Astro Byond ...

Panasonic.

Samsung = LCDs.

That's true...Astro SD channels looks so much better in CRT.

But if you must, then I recommend LG's 50PJ350R or 42PJ350R plasma. 3,000,000 :1 contrast ratio, 600Hz Sub Field Drive. 3 HDMI ports, USB etc etc. Great value for the 50" at RM4K or less than 3K for the 42"

hi bro no lg thx q

if u want see ur face at your tv rather than movie/program then go for plasma

ya maybe i will go plasma but i dunnot wan go samsung plasma c550/c6500 of panasonic p50u20/ p50v20 ... v20 i go alot shop ask all said don have this model

true. plasma is highly reflective and annoying IMO. if only there's an anti-reflective coating...it would be perfect

Ok thx q

I personally own a panasonic P42x10 because i was able to find a shop showing astro SD channels in various LCD/Plasma they have. And i found out that the LCD they have(Sharp, Toshiba) tends to produce pictures which are pixelized and blocky. As for the plasma, it shows a much smoother picture which are easier on the eyes.

While u were at those shopping centers comparing LCD and Plasma, you will notice that Plasma lacked brightness and contrast which makes them looked dull compared to LCDs. That's true.

But upon reaching home at night, I open my tv and watch Roland Garros tennis HD(Channel 831) with my Plasma and honestly speaking, everything looked beautiful, colors are rich, details are sharp, contrast and brightness are well balanced, not too bright not too dark..no complain at all.

I've also tested an Avatar trailer downloaded from apple's website using my AC Ryan media player and it looked fabulous without any noticeable jaggies or blocky pixels.

As for the screen reflection issue, its abit annoying but as long as its not facing a background which is overly lit(directly facing windows or light source), it should not be a big problem.

at last.......a brief review for panny P42X10...

how about P42X28K? any x28k owner?

okok thx Q

Wah! I'm also interested to change my TV. Now i'm using Panny 37" LCD.
Your TV was 42" inch, isn't it? And it was Full HD or just HD Ready....
Thanks...

panny plasma X10 is HD ready. S10 is FHD.

Excellent comment.
If you are viewing more Astro (irrespective of Beyond), never ever go for LCD / LED / fancy thin 1" TVs if you are not prepared to hookup your audio to a sound system.
Speakers from thin LED / 1" TVs produce too soft volume; if do not believe, go to any display joint and ask them to tune UP the volume. If you like the sound / volume, go for it.

My standalone Panasonic U20 50" (also my previous 42" Pana plasma) produce excellent sound and volume for Astro. To be frank, my old 42" plasma (only HD ready) produced better picture quality / clarity as compared to the new U20 50" (which do not have S-Video input). I am not on Beyond yet.

Irrespective of Panasonic / Samsung, our eyes tend to attune to the only set that you watch at home everyday and you'll like its quality and fell in love with it; just like woman.
