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
*
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.

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.

i'm thinking of getting the 55" LA6200. this is much cheaper than getting the sony W706 or W804 series.

actually no harm getting this model, but theres always better bcoz it has 3d but with a cheaper price, sony has those superb colors but lack of 3d, somemore expensive than lg la6200...
*
i tested the LA7400 series before, which is using 200Hz panel instead of LA6200 (100Hz).
to my opinion, the LA6200 behaves more like sony W706 while the LA7400 suits well with W804.
but i failed to notice any difference during the 3D conversion with trumotion/motionflowXR onboard.

if u test da passive 3d, it is da same with lg la6200/la7400 & sony w804 bcoz lg provide da same ips panel 2 da models... only difference is da features tat comes with models...
*
totally agree.

but what i meant was the TruMotion and MotionFlow XR which many reviews suggest to enable them when watching 3D content.
since the (in LG case) TruMotion for 6200 is 100 while the upper 7400 is 200, i still cannot differentiate them.
maybe need to take a better look later side by side.

the first time i saw W800B in local stores, i wonder why they opt the 50" size.
now i know, they no longer use LG panel.
tried the GUX, and i like it more than last year's model.
the only that turned me down is the active 3D.

now i'm waiting for LG to launch their TVs.
the latest model from LG which uses webOS seems gooding.

whether u choose new tech or sizes, & 3d as well....

for me, most important is 3d bcoz every week i will watch atleast 1 3d movies, my kid also like it...

another thing is size, if i hav budget, i will go for the bigger 1, else just keep the current 1...

anywhere, its just my opinion, others may think different or u may like it as well...
*
for me, if the price is the same between 55W804 vs 50W800B, i'll go for the 55.
just because of the additional size and ability to watch 3D while lying sideways on my sofa.
as for the pq, its minimal to me.

still... i really love the webOS. damn hard to decide.

D price diff is more than 1k sweat.gif

Same price comparison is 47W804A VS 50W800B
*
I went window shopping last week, and they sell the 55W804a at the same price with the 50W800B.
so yeah, my comparison is legit.

alex,

after LG announce the availability in our local stores, i'll wait for Raya promo, than again the YES promo.
if the price is still not right, i'll wait for the 2015 edition to launch, then buy the 2014 model..

but then again, the 2015's webOS might be much better.

i really hope it is upgradeable for this year model.

No luck, too far.

It is very good deal, as SONY Malaysia is selling 47W804A at RM3,999 which is same price as 50W800B. But 55W804A at RM5,499

47W804A
*
i noticed that as well. wonder why Sony still maintain the pricing for old stocks.
comparing between those two, i obviously choose the W800B regardless of the passive 3D.
for me, the menu is much more user friendly than the 2013's models.

for my opinion, they might use back the same panel, upgrade the contrast & brightness, upgrade with webOS but with locked features so tat only currently version 2014 will hav such features but not the previous 1... compare the price shown on the foreign countries websites the price isnt tat big difference, so i assume they just add something different tats all but not fully change...
*
what i meant was i hope that the OS is upgradeable. the webOS will improve through updates over time, i believe.
they should be selling the new model right now, it's already end of April.

i dont think so, bcoz once upgradeable, whose gonna change new tv then? even samsung e8000 series evolution kit can b upgradeable like f8000, but then main hardware still fix, it only upgrade partial firmware just to make it slightly different but not totally changed...
*
firmware and OS update should be ok, IMO. like when we upgrade our androids. they can retain the hardware, thats no problem.
i just dont want to stuck with the same GUI like the previous Sony XMB or LG Smart Hub.

should I get the 954A or wait a lil bit for the 55" 850B to come into our market?
*
i dont think 55" W850B will come into our market soon.
they have the 55" W800B advertised as "soon" in their web, and also 70" W850B as available for Rm12,999.

if it's me, i'll get the 954A.

To be quite frank with you, Triluminous doesn't mean anything. In reality, Sony does try and handpick the best produced AUO panels for their flagship TVs (in this case, the W954a). They would then calibrate the sets so that it would look better than other AUO panel used in their other lines (W6 and W7) out of the box. Majority of users do not have calibration tools or even the knowledge to go around it, so yeah basically Triluminos makes the W9 look better than the other lines through properly picked panels and calibration, not because Triluminous is some magic LCD panel that does wonders.

That being said, the W9 would obviously look better even after post-calibration in comparison to the W6/W7 due to generally better panel uniformity and better motion handling. It's still the best all-around 1080p LCD TV from 2013 though.

So yeah, don't always get suckered up into Sony's marketing.
*
even if it doesn't mean anything (to you at least), it still produces one of the best color among displays out there.
and with the lesser price of some of the old models, it really outweighs other competitors.

PM you since not sure if the shop is willing to sell the same price or not since my case is a little exceptional
I asked for full refund as they quoted other replacements at higher price (including LA8600 at $5.6k), but later they revised it down to RM5k after I told them I can get better deal elsewhere for LA8600, and would ask for full refund if they can't match the offer. They got back to me few days later and said they'd match the deal. So why not? Besides Yesmember, I didn't know anywhere else selling that model at such low price, and few shops that I went told me W804A already out of stock as well. Though after I read about Courts selling W804A at RM3999 today, instant regret  laugh.gif
*
LOL biggrin.gif

i bet the shop knew what's coming from Courts.
