I have spent 1400 for tv bench. I just dunno when is Sharp 37" PX coming out. Bysquasy care to highlight??

It appears no other shop can give you lower price than This company starts with capital L in SS2. Do let me know if you can find one. I will never go back to this L shop (LSLY).

latest price at post #92

in theory, DVI/HDMI is superior than RGB but in actual fact, if the RGB signal is "clean" enough, can't really spot the difference.
I myself has tested both RGB and DVI simultaneously on my LG by switching both inputs, the difference is marginal, at least to my case.

However on my 37" LG LCD, when I use RGB, i cant get vivid color display like my DVD - hdmi. I adjusted the vivid/contrast in the nvidia 91.37 drivers still the vividness is not there. In fact the graphics looks smear and some times refresh is not that fast. I dont think my graphics card is the culprit, since I am using 128 bit Nvidia 6200 MSI AGP.

my video looks quite good on my 64 bit 6200A AGP.
Chua, what player do you use to playback video?? r you using overlay on media player?? go for VMR9 as it's much better then overlay. overlay tends to have smearing colour. anyway, the default video renderer in MCE is VMR9.

I am using k-lite codec with the FFDSHOW, classic media player. I will try the VMR9 again (I tried previously, not successful, it appears my connection is not giving me enuf "rich" color for that vividness)

Hi Ryan,

I was thinking if u can lead to create the LG LCD TV Special interest group. We have Edifier, etc..

How's the outcome??

3 users doesn't seem to be ideal to form a group yet. we will see how it goes and poison more ppl to buy LG....

I am quoted for RM 400 for total job (RM 250 bracket and RM 150 labor). u guys any comment. where can i buy the bracket.

rgds.

I was in emart@ Jalan Pasar. apparently there are many options of wall bracket ranging from Rm 120 to rm 2xx cash n carry. BTW, it's not too difficult to DIY provided that you have the tools.

if you know how to access the service menu, it will show the "running hours" - means how long it has been powered on.....

Plasma is expensive to produce due to high reject and production cost as compare to LCD. Hence, you wont find plasma tv below 37". Plasma technology is different and it uses glass as panel. This was an issue due to the reflective panel itself. However, latest gen plasma has shrunk down the reflectiveness of it.

Plasma has its advantages in producing black, which LCD TV has a hard time matching it. But, it is fast catching up albeit at premium price. However, a good plasma (from Pioneer) costs a bomb to own and naturally a lot of buyers will walk away from it and buy LCD TV instead. No hard feelings and with due respect, a lot of people are buying flat panels (be it plasma or lcd tv) with the price being the main concern and not PQ as priority. Reason is simple as I noticed : it's a statement of lifestyle and to show thier peers of what they have.

Try asking those that owned it about the specs and what is all the HD is about and the usage. You will be surprise, oh boy.

LG has a 32'' plsma..... SD panel though, best for astro and dvd but not for HD stuff.
