Make sure you do your review on this moster cable thingy. I am sure many would like you to comment...........

I would have to agree.
LCD wise don't go over 32".

Bro, I was pondering whether to get 32" Panasonic LX80 or LX800, any huge difference between those 2? Tried looking at the specs but can't tell much difference except for the 100Hz and sd card slot. Suggestions please? I mainly use it for astro.

The price difference is not that much bro. I would rather have the extra features the LX800 has to offer especially 100Hz and 24p playback support. 100Hz will be very useful for my PC gaming...less flicker so easy on the eyes. Plus I got it for less than what LX80 is selling outside so why not

...and not to mention LX800 looks better than LX80

Thanks man, how much did you get it for?

The difference is that one is full HD and the one is HD ready. Again if you're just solely using it for ASTRO only , then there is no use to jump into Full HD , plus with 32" Full HD there is no big deal about it. If you really want to experience full HD , then go for a bigger screen - otherwise it would be just waste of money. Unless you plan to use a PC with HDMI and you want to get 1:1 pixel ratio without overscanning.

I am using a 37" Panny LCD TV (HD Ready). Serves me very well. Although its not 1080p , but it does a pretty good job for my needs. I do watch lot of ASTRO , compared to HD Movies , so full HD isn't worth it for me and plus ASTRO isn't HD in the first place. It would be a different story if astro supports 1080i. Then by getting full HD , you'll notice the whole difference , in this case they are using 576i (and not progressive scan). Since you're mainly using it for ASTRO , I would recommend you to go for the 80 *unless you really want 1080p then go for the 800 series* , since you're mainly watching ASTRO. Save the money and use it for something else in the near future ! (or buy one of those good quality S-video cable to improve the PQ of ASTRO)

Ok just installed Monster S-Video 2 I got from Digitaltech. Before I could see any difference, my wife walk into the room and...."eh apa dedi dah buat astro cantik...kaler terang...gambar sharp dah tak kelabu sangat..."

I guess no need comment from me...the wife has spoken

For u who didn't know, previously I use cap ayam s-video cable so this is a very valid comparison. Monster s-video very much improve Astro PQ over normal cap ayam s-video

less than rm2.2k cash....u might want to pm iamsobloodysick for latest price.

but lx80 is rm 1699 now wow ~ in BM ~

Thanks for the info everyone, very ummm.... informative. But seriously, appreciate the help.

I heard about the seller looking through the forum, anyone has experience trading with the person? BM no problem for me.

got shop 1 ...should be no problem gua ~ just call them just now, a girl answer, point how to go their shop, thinking to pick up a samsung LCD, now c alot review, some say samsung alot dead pix .... aisk ~~ confusing now ~~~ lol ~

That's cheap. Go for it. LX80 also got good IPS-Alpha panel.

using lx70 b4 .... feel so so, and i feel quite annoying when the dynamic contrast is on, u can see the white suddenly become bright, suddenly become dim 1 ... other brand also same ?

if watch ASTRO, better buy plasma tv..........lcd not suitable...

plasma consume 350W above for 42", LCD 32" consume around 150-180 only ... this is 1 of my concern ...
now dunno wan buy 3.7K plasma or 2.0K punya LCD ~~ argh ~~~

I was recommended by shop to get samsung series 4 instead of panasonic, this coming from a panashop. lol.
Now I'm

vex, did you get the name of the shop in BM?

Sammy 4 series? Bad idea...trust me that one on my list and I finally ditch it. A big no no with Astro...

LOL...Pana staff recommends Samsung? May be he has a big fight with the boss.

damn..cheap price u got there..my dad bought the old tx-32le8m for 1899 here in kuching

only get the 6 series if for Samsung...

saw 4 and 5 series PQ, can't beat Panny....if thus, go for Panny better, 42 inch, RM3799 only

Get Plasma PV8 RM3.8k for 42"
Good for astro
