Guys,

Last week i bought this model without researching further because they offer me free gifts and discount (mum and sister keep making noise making me cant think logically)\

The picture quality and everything seems good in my eyes and i just trust my instinct.

There is no review on internet however i saw W802A review and the spec seems to be similar.

Is this model KDL55W804A good ?

Thanks.

u bought it then only ask? y not just go survey afew shop 1st b4 only decide?

Already did my survey at few shop.

Initially i plan to buy Sharp, but ends up with this model.

Just want to know this model good n bad.

Plan to use for gaming in future.

of coz its good bcoz it uses lg ips panel on it, so u can wear passive 3d specs to watch 3d, some more it has da new tech called tricolor sort of, & of coz x-reality pro processor. but da bad thing is da price of coz...

804 series doesnt not come with triluminous tech.

I think the W804A is a good deal. It's 1080p HD, uses passive 3D (no flickering on sensitive eyes compared to active 3D) and supports DVB-T2, which is the Digital TV system RTM and Media Prima will be migrating to in the future. And the demo set I saw at Sony showroom at The Curve has no lag on a PS3 (comparatively, my LG has small almost unnoticable lag on PS3 but horrible lag on Wii and other analog input console).

I'm planning to get one once my aunt is forced to upgrade to B.yond and I dump that LG in her house.

Ya but the 55" Triluminos 9xx series cost almost 3 times more, worth the price dif? Have not had the chance to compare the difference.

Seriously tho, if the 804 came in 60" i would have grabbed it, Im happy with the pq and features

Just bought the 47W804A yesterday.

How do you feel?

I am lucky though. Singapore channels will be full DVB-T2 by this November.The pic quality is good....very warmth.

i dont know whether its worth or not. i was just responding to the previous post.

anyhow, i also wanted the 804 series, but after got racun, now i'm more towards LG LA7400 series.

LG LA7400 more gooding?

I suggest that if you play retro games a lot, particularly pre-HDMI consoles like NES/SNES/Wii/MegaDrive/Saturn/Dreamcast/PS1/PS2/XBox, check the set completely first. LG TVs are very well known for their lag especially on analog input. Don't trust the salesperson, personally take a console to the shop and test. I made the mistake of trusting the salesperson's word with my LG. Big mistake.

nevermind. i believe less than 1% of gamers playing previous gen consoles on their HDTV.

Yeah... read about the lag on LG set but... just asking because saw local_machine mentioned got poison to get LG La7400 instead W804...

Want to know what racun he kena...

TS,

can share pic of your 55" LED displaying astro beyond HD channel?

Maybe victim of older Sony TV self destruct after just few weeks? Remember that some Sony TVs released a year or two ago commit harakiri just after a few weeks due to bug in firmware...

Speaking of which, I hope that doesn't happen with the W804. I'd prefer getting a Sharp, but 1. Sharp don't have Passive 3D set (I don't like active 3D- again bad experience from demo unit at Sony Center where the salesperson handed me 3D glasses to demo but forgot to charge the thing) and 2. Sharp currently don't have any DVB-T2 ready TV in the market.

Experience with the glasses made me wonder what will happen if they run out of battery in the middle of an intense PS3 WipeOut HD Fury session...

My opinion about this model still superb without triluminous tech .if with triluminous tech ultra superb but my budget won't allow me.. this set come with blu-ray / DVD player model BDP-S490 without speaker plus free one 3D blu-ray disc.Anyway I'm still puas hati....

I think it is overpriced. Not that it is a horrible TV, but for how much you pay for it... there are better models out there.

While blacks on the W804 is decent (you have to activate Adv. Contrast though), it does crush shadow detail if you put Gamma at -2. Unfortunately, having Gamma at anyhting higher than -1 would make the TV too washed out, no matter what your contrast on brightness settings are.

Color accuracy is poor on the W804, especially blue levels. Enabling the Clear White helps a little bit but you will have to offset the Red and Green bias a little bit so that you still keep proper greyscales.

In terms of input lag, the W804 is amazing if you play games. Meassured around 16ms with a Leo Bodnar lag tester device. I usually think passive 3D is stupid (as is 3D entirely), so I'm not going to comment on this one.

So once again, the W804 isn't really a bad TV but just decent enough. Just that paying over RM3k (I don't know how much of a discount you got, but I assume the total price is still at least RM3k) for the TV isn't a good deal.

OK. I will post it after i back to home today.
