as stated.. which one should i get with RM2.4k MAX? (prefer 40" above)
please share what brand and which model suited my budget
TQVM~

Plasma offer wide viewing angle and a true black, while LCD are cheaper and more durable. for me, i'm waiting for the 40" AMOLED TV.

Plasma also offers much more accurate color reproduction than LCD's (except for IPS panels) and it doesn't suffers from 2:3 pulldown, at the expense of higher energy consumption. (Yes, Plasma suck up a lot of electricity) Just an extra note, conventional CCFL backlit LCD also suck up a lot of electricity. Onlt LED backlit LCD is energy efficient.

planning to get this SAMSUNG LA40C530..
i choose this model because can play directly from flashdrive/HDD (one of the reason to get this TV)
im new in HDTV.. so i don't know what to pick...

my friend said, plasma looks better on ASTRO than LCD because of the resolution...

is it true? planning to subscribe Beyond if it sucks than much

The ADVANTAGES of Plasma over LCD are:

1. Plasma TVs are more susceptible to burn-in of static images. However, this problem has diminished greatly in recent years as a result of the incorporation "pixel orbiting" and related technologies.

2. Plasma TVs generate more heat than LCDs, due to the need to light of phosphors to create the images.

3. Does not perform as well at higher altitudes.

4. Potentially shorter display life span - this used to be the case. Early Plasmas had 30,000 hours or 8 hrs of viewing a day for 9 years, which was less than LCD. However, screen life span has now improved and 60,000 hour life span rating are now common, with some sets rated as high as 100,000 hours, due to technology improvements.

LCD television ADVANTAGES over Plasma include:

1. No burn-in of static images.

2. Cooler running temperature.

3. No high altitude use issues.

4. Increased image brightness over Plasma, which makes LCD TVs better for viewing in brightly lit rooms.

5. Lighter weight (when comparing same screen sizes) than Plasma counterparts.

6. Longer display life used to be a factor, but now LCD and Plasma sets both have at least 60,000 hour or higher lifespans.

DISADVANTAGES of LCD vs Plasma televisions include:

1. Lower contrast ratio, not as good rendering deep blacks, although the increasing incorporation of LED backlighting has narrowed this gap.

2. Not as good at tracking motion (fast moving objects may exhibit lag artifacts) - However, this is improving with the recent implementation of 120Hz screen refresh rates and 240Hz processing in higher-end LCD sets.

3. Not as common in large screen sizes above 42-inches as Plasma. However, the number is growing fast, with 46 and 47-inch screen sizes becoming more common, and some LCD sets having a screen size as large as 65-inches also available to the general public.

4. Although LCD televisions do not suffer from burn-in susceptibility, it is possible that individual pixels on an LCD televisions can burn out, causing small, visible, black or white dots to appear on the screen. Individual pixels cannot be repaired, the whole screen would need to be replaced at that point, if the individual pixel burnout becomes annoying to you.

5. LCD televisions are typically more expensive than equivalent-sized Plasma televisions (although this is changing).

# the fact are from the net

u can save ur budget with plasma TV,

plasma tv can use same as your home mirror such as brush your teeth, comb your hair

1. Know the technology for LCD and Plasma, pro and con;
2. Go to shops to perform side by side comparison in condition (e.g., brightness, etc) as similar to your room as possible. Check the source of media (e.g. BD player, DVD player, BD Disc, DVD disc, etc)
3. Check the warranty for those TV and free gift (if any) given
4. Choice the one that you are most satisfied with.
5. Case closed.

i think plasma picture quality is better

plasma

lcd

Always a big fan of LCD till I saw what the PLASMA could do. The burn in FEAR is not an issue after you get through the first 200 or so hours.

After that, the plasma thrashes the LCD/LED LCD

AGREED YR COMMENT

LCD better. save energy xDD

owh.. so i gonna change my mind, buying plasma instead of buying LCD
what brand should i consider?

for plasma and if possible, support full HD (within my budget)
but plasma nowadays alot cheaper than LCD...

can Plasma play movies directly from my pendrive? (just like Samsung LCD TV)

PLASMA FTW!!!!

Plasma!! Panasonic!!

Agree!!!!!

so, which panasonic plasma suit my budget and needs? (40" above + below RM2.4k)

thank you in advance~

P42X28K is a good choice.

only rm2100 now in market as i know!!!

Where can get RM2100?

i stay in selayang...rm2100 yes of coz...

Plasma get my vote until backlit LED is cheaper.

i)Better colour esp black level.
ii)Cheaper by few hundred bucks vs higher quality LCD
iii)720p is enuf for Astro Beyond, if lower than 50 inch not much difference between 720p and 1080p
iv) Lifespan of plasma is much longer now. Mine is rated at 100 000 hours which put around 10 yrs of use even if I on it 8 hours per day.

The only real disadvantage is burn in and higher power consumption vs LCD.

im planning to get it today so i gonna make last minute check..
what should i check when i buy a new plasma?

and usually, panasonic will provide warranty for how long? 2 years?
half life for plasma? is it 10,000 or 60,000hours?

Samsung PS50C6500 la o8-YuRi

does plasma power consumption different a lot with lcd...how much different per month

plasma, phosphor based tv are better..
but oled will be better
