first thanks for the in-depth explanation of 3DTV in here bro. Really solved and cleared a lot of my doubts and questions. As I am initially wanted to purchased Panny's P50U30K now I am tempted to go for LG's 50PW450. I can get the same price for them both at 3.3K.

Panny has Full HD where as LG comes with 3D but HD Ready. As you mentioned FHD not worthwhile if I am sitting further away since we can't really differentiate it. FYI, I am sitting around 4m away. So I assume that it's not an issue here for HD or Full HD right?

LG has higher resolution too with 3M:1 as opposed to 2M:1 by Panny. But is this a significant issue? Can we really notice that? Any opinion on this two models bro? Thanks a lot in advance.

Thanks again for the in depth explanation bro. Actually I had wrong info from one of the shop which tells me that the PW450 runs on passive 3D tech. Which is why I was tempted to go for that. But since another shop had explained to me that all plasma (from LG) still uses Active (passive only on LED), I had decided to go back to U30K.

But I'd also found out that LG's PV250 had just been released. Or so, the sales guy managed to get a pricing for me (3.7K). It's their new 50" FHD Plasma. The contrast is 3M:1 as of U30K 2M:1 and an additonal HDMI. Again, is that dynamic contrast ration makes any difference? Cause I read some where and even the sales guy told me that, anything above 2M DRC, you won't be able to tell the difference. Is it true? Any chance of reviewing LG's PV250 yet? hehe!

Side note: Not really into Samsung actually. Some one did offered me their 5 Series (forgot the model) FHD Plasma. But I think it's around 4.3K or so. And my friend told me their service sucks. So a bit reluctant. And better got for higher series like 6 and above? Well if I have the money of course. haha!

but still expensive la the glasses. initially i tot it's passive so can get a lot (9pcs). now can only have 2 glasses.

is the flickering lesser? But now I most probably wait for PV250 and compare to U30K ..

ya I realized that, cause active still using 1080 on each eye but passive cut down to half 540 on each eye hence the no flicker on passive.

but a lot of people said they don't really saw the diff just mentality u know it's not 1080 only.

anyway, now gonna test out the new PV250 before deciding on the U30K. Megatex coming soon, hopefully they are showing it there

to tell u the truth, i haven't seen the PV250 too. Just on catalogue. so when the guy told me he got the pricing, it surprised me. but too date, i didn't saw any place displaying the unit

brightness as in how bright the setting it can go? or? I wanted to try the reflection on both the unit actually. but it's pretty hard unless they are setting it side by side.

Yes, I am sure it come with the anti reflection coating too.

But not going to get it since already decided to go with U30K now.

Price went down another few hundred

Thanks for all the good replies bro~ ur the man

No worries.. glad to help...
So, how do u like the TV...
What do u think.. does the reflection annoyed u or u didnt notice it???


Actually not really if U dun pay any attention to it. if you are watching BD it's really really good but once someone tell u bout some reflection on it, u will start to get annoyed at some point. but from the location of my plasma, i guess it's better since it's away from the sliding door.

I was messing around with my new 50U30K and found out that even though the have this Normal, Dynamic, Cinema, True Cinema and Game, but all the settings are the same at Default. I thought they have preset the settings already according with those viewing options.

Anyone know how to do a calibration setting on those viewing? I heard there are demo/calibration DVD to download to do, is it?
