look for LCD tv that have "GAME MODE" it should be ok

panasonic TH-L42U29K
sony KLV40BX400

any model from other brands as well? cause i find it hard to obtain the 100hz motion in the official sites

is tis Plasma models?

I dont think Sony have Plasma .... they have discontinue plasma from their line...

oh yea, Sony don hav Plasma

Is there a big difference between Full HD screen and non full HD plasma assuming my TV size is only 42 inch.

It's around 1.8K premium for a Full HD screen at the same size.

from my eyes, not much diff... (maybe no diff at all )

Depends, if you are tired from work or viewing it late night or early morning, eyes vision blur2...you will see not difference
It also depends on the source.

But come on...just get the FullHD version...it has never been so affordable.

Depends on source if BR slight diff. But if astro - no difference

bcos plasma PQ slightly dark a bit than lcd/led... difficult 2 c dfference...

Watching Bluray, there is no doubt the Plasma has the big 'wow' factor, absolutely great.

But comparing CRT (one of the best from the old days, a big Sony) vs Plasma watching DVD, I somehow got the feeling it's better off watching CRT. And I suspect, when watching Astro or normal Satellite program, it may be the same or worst. Anyone else got this type of feeling?

BTW, I was watching the Panasonic 50U and the Samsung 6500. Both the same.

old CRT TV resolution is 420p like so and you need to stretch the DVD/astro pic to fit 1080p of course blur lah....

Astro/DVD will have better PQ on HD ready plasma.

I don't understand. DVD is 520 lines. HD Ready Plasma is 720 line and Full HD is 1080 line.

So regardless of which plasma you use, both have to process the DVD's 520 to display picture. So how can HDReady be better than FullHD in viewing DVD?

dvd is 480 line.

A DVD is going to look at best on a 480p TV. 1080p TVs or upconverting DVD players will create too much scaling and noise in the image. Scaling is bad regardless how good the scaler is. You want to always display the video at its native resolution.

I didn't know DVD is 480 lines because this wikipedia site mentioned 520 lines.

To display picture on 1080p TV, you have to upconvert from 480 to 1080

To display picture on 720p TV, you have to upconvert from 480 to 720.

So in either case, both have to undergo conversion. So why is it converting to 1080 is worst than 720?

Now does anyone know how many lines are the transmission from station like Sun TV, CCTV etc? I don't seem to be able to find those information and my Mandarin is only ground level
