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.

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.

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...

And while I do that people beat me senseless and I lose the game?

Don't get me wrong- I like Sharp. I just don't like Active 3D for several reasons (fear of battery running out in the middle of an intense gaming session and I waste precious time in swapping glasses, and I can actually see the flickering caused by the glasses' shutters). In fact, I strongly believe autostereoscopic 3D (glassless 3D- which ironically, Sharp invented but almost never capitalize on outside of licensing it to third party) is the future...

I was feeling a bit generous when I typed that...

I'm not really sure about the refresh rate, will check tonight (although I'm pretty sure it does 24fps 3D at 1080p, meaning at least 48Hz at 1080p)
