If I were you, I will choose Toshiba 42" 42WL66E. Normally Toshiba "stuff" r very good quality. Previously I used 29" toshiba crt tv, superb picture quality, served me for 10 years without any problem.

Does anybody know if the Sony DVPNS55PB is any good? it is only RM178 sweat.gif

Is the NS76H(European version?) same as NS75H(north american version?).
*
Sony DVPNS55PB model doesn't have HDMI and optical digital out.
If u intend to buy DVD player now, get one with HDMI,especially u have a LCD.

Almost the same but :-
NS76H -support video tv resolutions =576p
Video Noise Reduction=Block Noise Reduction

NS75H - support video tv resolutions =480p
Video Noise Reduction=Mosquito Noise Reduction

Both having video upconversion =1080i (HDTV).

Now, anyone sell Samsung HD850, I'll buy it straightaway. My Philip TV even better than the Sony one. Can play 1080p. But unfortunately, no DVD player support it. sad.gif

Buy a HD-DVD or Blue ray player. drool.gif
I m sure it will support 1080p for your Philip TV.

Haiz, I think you do not understand like Timothy. Our CRT TV just support component. So there's no way HD-DVD and Blueray able to output HD signal to our TV thru component. Thanks for your suggestion anyway wink.gif

Then how come u said your Philip TV can play 1080p? rclxub.gif

Ok, the whole story is like this:

Philip TV can accept 1080p but only through component.

Legally (means according to law), HD signal must be used through HDMI/DVI with HDCP (protected mode).

Eventhough component can carry 1080p (eventhough noisy), but major DVD player maker cannot make a DVD player that output 1080p through component. If they do, maybe they'll be sued.

So there's no DVD player can output 1080p through component legally. tongue.gif

It is not practical to make a TV that can accept 1080p without a HDMI or DVI input.
Even though component can carry 1080p signal, it's not a pure digital signal.

what do you mean by "it's not a pure digital signal"

it's pointless telling someone who already owns a TV that can display 1080p without HDMI that "its not practical to make" Wouldn't it be possible for you to visit him and look at the TV yourself, or download specs/manual from the web
*
What I meant was Manufacturers should not produce a TV capable of handling 1080p without digital input. I consider 1080p is a HDTV mode. In order to carry HD signal, TV must have pure digital video signal such as HDMI/DVI.

Yes, you can choose to use component to carry HD signal but don't forget that component is an analogue video cable. doh.gif
You will NEVER get TRUE 1080p PQ.

Hope your LCD is problem free. As for me, I have no problem so far with my LG Plasma that I bought a year ago.

Just got myself the sony 76H. Got it less than the RM 599 (the discount enuf to buy a Taiwan component cable) and the receipt shows RM 599. Sony policy (at the consumer expense)! understand we have to register the product at website for warranty.

Why buy a sony 76H when u're not using HDMI cable? tongue.gif

For smooth picture, no need to wait for powerful display... just get good dvd player that handles deinterlacing/chroma/etc problems well. Refer to SECRETS for ratings and studies results.

If someone gets a 1080p display but pair with cheapo dvd player, wat to expect.
*
You need get 1080p display with HDMI v1.3, make sure u have BR or HD-DVD player to send 1080p coz..normal HDMI player will not give u TRUE HD.

I guess the active players in Plasma technology will be Panasonic and Pioneer, other brands seem to focus more on LCD technology these days. There might be a sharp drop in Plasma prices, I guess the limitation for Plasma is that it can't output in full HD resolution.
*
May I know y u said Plasma can't output in full HD resolution?

dear schizophrenic,
tankq very much for ur explanations, been to jusco last few weeks (beginning of current sale) they do give only 5% discount for lcd ...
maybe selected branch clearing display item tat's y offering at cheaper rate.
but i'm not sure bout the cycle life, its been switched on everyday for at least 12hrs a day.
what's the life cycle of plasma and lcd tv?
*
If switch on 12 hours a day...life span will be around 10 to 13 years.

If contrast and brightness set to the above normal...it will probably be less than 10 years.

Yes bro I agree with you. Now the cheapo head aka me, has just thought of something. Dunno if it is possible so asking all the sifus here. notworthy.gif

Now I have a vcr(yeah i know its ancient) that has tv tuner which has component outputs. Now the question is does the dvd players have any component inputs ? If yes then we can use the dvd player to upconvert tv signals into the plasma/lcd/projector......? So all tv shows will be in HD !!

Sound logical ? Got hope or hopelless fairy tale ?
*
Even if ur dvd players got component inputs which I think hard to find one, I don't think the tv will be TRUE HD mode coz component is an ANALOG signal. doh.gif

Besides that, the 78H is lacking some of the picture noise filters from 76H but it's not a big issue anyway since I always switch them off as it makes the picture softer.
*
I guess everybody will choose 78H unless 76H sells cheaper. brows.gif

I don't think its a good idea to get FULL HD at 42" and below screen size..our eyes can't really see the difference...

If we r talking really big screen >= 60" , then the difference will be obvious.
