Yeap........totally true......only the PQ is much better but can't compare with real HD PQ............

The Samsung LA46N71B rocks, arrived today, no problem with Astro & DVDs.
Just don't understand why it keeps reverting back to the original picture setting every 1 hours Gotta read the manual

How about those samsung LCD series LA32R81B or LA37R81B? anyone had tried them out?

It's an improvement model replacing the outgoing R7. I am still waiting the unit to arrive for a comparison test against R7.

How about Panasonic? Checked out TH-42PV60H. Can get it at about 7k or lesser is it worth it?

For ASTRO viewing, no display will ever improve its quality, that's why you won't get ASTRO demos in stores. But for dvd , get what your budget can offer based on own demos, forget about what others' preferences are.

Not to mention those 2 black bars at both side when u watch Astro in 4:3 format

If you get a 32' LCD, viewing Astro in 4:3 format, the picture is even smaller, unless you choose to view all full screen sources to fit the 16:9 screen in full.

but, the picture will be stretched to fill the screen, which I find it quite irritating. Astro does have this so-called 'wide' setting for the aspect ratio. However, this is only meant for 'future' upgrades.

Some LCDs do a good job stretching full screen sources to fit the screen but if you have a 40 inch LCD and above, then, there's no problem displaying in true 4:3 aspect ratio, on a 32 incher, the picture might very small if 4:3 aspect ratio is chosen.

Recently I have came across Sony SXRD TV and wondering is it a good TV? Anything I should aware of this new technology? I have checked thru the Internet but mostly only on the good side?

Need advise should i get a Plasma or LCD TV? I use it to watch Satelite channels and DVD.

What's ur budget and screen size? Both have its pro n cons. At the moment, LCD price is very attractive

Budget around 6000. Current target are 42 inch Panasonic plasma, 40 inch samsung and 37 inch sharp LCD. Did compared side by side, i found plasma better PQ displaying astro. Does LG a reliable brand/ easier faulty because the price very attractive with moderate quality?
Any other recommendation are welcome.
