well, frankly, i never liked 32" cos they are really small. recommend you wait for the 37" or get the 40" if you can afford it.

Is that so, its mean Pana can ever beat others brand? shocking.gif

What the most I concern here is the features offer, performance and picture quality.... and a little bit new technology.

That's true but honestly, the 10-bit thingy is rendered and doesn't mean that the screen is a 10-bit panel. Only plasma tvs support true 18-bit colours or billions of colours to be exact so if you want a near cinematic experience, plasma tvs win, hands down. Of course, LCD tvs don't suffer burn in issues so playing your PS3 or XBOX 360 games on it or to use it as a pc monitor, it wouldn't be much of an issue. I have a crazy friend buying both, a plasma and a LCD in his living hall. Yeah, to have the best of both worlds. Hahaha.

how bout others 32" for other brand, is they also got 10bit panel?


Added on September 4, 2007, 12:06 pmyesterday I went one shop at town.... and ask the tauke to show off all LCD TV that he got. He play a dedicated HD DVD by Sharp (Aquos) to all LCD TV, Sony, Sharp, Hitachi and LG.

I quite shock coz Sharp picture more crips and the color.. ohh like true color.. and Sony just so so only... actually i thought that the Sony TV will produce more WOW factor than Sharp but i'm wrong.

The tauke said, now a day Sony no more become player in this industri coz the WOW factor is most major concern now. Sony LCD TV most of part is produce by samsung he claimed and sony price so expensive if compare to others brand.

That why the tauke recommended sharp LCD to me...


So... anyone experienced this?? unsure.gif

dirtrun..yes,sharp already have several models that support true 1920 x 1080 for 32 inch model..but m not sure those models will be introduced to our market or not..check out sharp GP1 gaming series..

The AQUOS(R) LC-32GP1U is a dream come true for game players. This is the first LCD TV designed from the ground up to be optimized for today's state-of-the-art video game consoles.

Six 1080p-compatible terminals (3 HDMI, 2 component, 1 DVI-I) ensure that images delivered via your game console's 1080p outputs will be as clear as possible. The AQUOS LC-32GP1U also features an incredible 6ms response time and 10,00:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio combined with Full HD 1080p resolution.

Ya bro B,

I know but here in our Mal market, its difficult to find... I was thinking wif de new models being released tat they might honor us wif de 1080p models... since we are assembling them here in Mal... the panels are from Japan thou', at least dats what I heard.

Anyway I do believe Sharp makes de nicest lcd tvs, de specs might not show it but when you compare side by side on de same source its far superior , at least to my eyes la...

Cheers

Still OK, quite good.

But it also depends on the signal of the DVD player itself. If you have DVD player with component output, make sure it's connected via component output. Set it to 480P if possible. The signal will output at 480P and your LCD TV will do the upscale it to it's native resolution.

Don't use the composite AV type connection. It won't be as good.

But better still (assuming you have a 720P LCD TV), buy a HDMI player which can upscale to 720P/1080i. Don't forget to buy a HDMI cable as well. It will be better than component.

I can't recommend normal DVD player because I am currently using Sony HDMI 76H which cost RM560/-. Sorry.

But I have played normal DVD using Sony PS2 connected via Component (480i) to my LG 37" LCD TV. I must say I find it pretty decent. Maybe the upscale by my LG was quite good.

Most Lcd tv, between philips and sharp....which one is better and cheaper? icon_question.gif

I don't dare recommend because I don't own them smile.gif

Quite often, when I go to the shops, the displays of the various brands are not evenly connected. One brand might look better than another in one shop, but in another the opposite might happen. It all depends on what sort of demo they are playing and also what type of connection they are using etc. Also depends on the adjustments on the LCD TV itself.

See if any of the sifus here can provide you with better feedback.

Then it's really cheap. Some Normal 720P 37" costs close to the price of the Philips 1080P. Other 1080P (above 40") costs RM10,000/- and above.

i use Samsung 32" HD ready LCD TV(1080i) paired with Samsung DVD player (with upscaling capabilities up to 1080i) and the output quality is not much there.

So, im using my laptop connect it to my LCD tv via VGA cable and set it to the TV's native resolution (1366x768) to get 1:1 pixel mapping. I play the dvd or media files thru media player classic and do a heavy ffdshow tweaking. The results is much much far better than using my samsung upscaling dvd player. ver impressive. you need a powerful pc/laptop to tweak ffdshow to the max.

happy 'HD'ing smile.gif

I guess you're referring to Panasonic's 700 series, Sony Bravia D series and the latest Sharp LCD, all have this double refresh rates. Honestly, it does improve the motion flow of movies and games.

For X series I assume the logo is Full HD 1080 gua. For Sony, you need to look out for Full HD 1080 logo instead of just Full HD logo which
I think is very misleading.

Ok, I definitely confused by the Sony Style magazine. So LCD that have Full HD 1080 is 1080p. The thing that confuse me
is the Full HD 1080 camcorder. If you have the magazine, just look at camcorder section where the logo Full HD 1080 is there
with the Full HD 1080 feature but then will pop up 1080i. I'm not sure why 1080i in camcorder can be Full HD 1080. sweat.gif

if you want to figure out, just bring ur own DVD, then ask them to use just 1 DVD and using HDMI,
connect to all the LCD one by one. Then see the difference. But problem is, do we need to tweak LCD
to get the best picture tongue.gif

That's probably because the 1080i (interlaced) signal, will still display 1080 lines resolution on a Full HD 1080P LCD-TV. So it can still be considered FullHD when played on FulHD LCD-TV.

However on a normal HD 720P/1080i LCD-TV , although it can input a 1080i signal, eventually it will be downscaled to the native 720P resolution of the TV.

In short, a 1080i signal can still be considered Full HD in terms of resolution. The confusion lies with LCD panels that are 720P/1080i. They can't be considered as Full HD panels because the 1080i signal will only be output at 720P.

Am I talking nonsense here. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I was trying to explain why Sony termed their camcoder Full HD even though they can only capture in 1080i.

In their logic, 1080i and 1080p has the same number of resolutiion lines. It's just one is Interlaced and the other progressive. So I guess to them as a marketing tactic they would call it Full HD.

Anyway 1080i is just a transition meaure to enable it to play in both 720P panels and 1080P panels.

You cannot rate HD = 1080p

Why?

Before 1920*1080p was invented, there is only 1366* 768

It was called HD too.

Then, what if later on, there are new things called 3840*2160 FULL HD

your 1920* 1080p will still be called FULL HD?

Well, 'FULL HD' is already a common market term for 1080P. Of course thay can call it by other names too, but the above is most common.

In future if they come out with a even higher resolution than 1080 they will just give it another name. Don't have to worry about that.

You are RIGHT!!!

But, in fact, a 32" 1366*768 vs 55" 1920* 1080p, which will give better resolution?

hehehe

from my point of view, they both give similiar result (maybe) and of coz, big sizes means better!!

hahaha

Anyway, i m using Pensonic 42" for my living room, 32" in my room. Both are cheaper than sony. opppss.....almost forget, my brother room has a 32" sony. I cant differentiate the quality for both LCD. HAAHA rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

Well, for 32', whether it is full HD or not, it doesn't make any difference as smaller and higher density of pixels, so the picture is sharp even it is not a full HD panel, had made an 'A' to 'B' comparison, Sony Bravia D 32' / 40' with Sony Bravia X 46', the difference were not notieceable, both the 32' / 40' models looked equally as good as the pricier full HD Bravia.

Probably using a lower quality panel if the price is a lot cheaper. I prefer the S-PVA panel that Sony is currently using. Hope to see the next generation S-PVA in the near future. There are still room for improvements.

1080P = 1080x2 ???? Are you crazy biggrin.gif.

Liked I mentioned before, 1080i and 1080p both has 1080 lines of resolution. But the 1080i displays this 1080 lines in 2 passes instead of 1 pass (1080p).

In the 1st pass all the odd number lines (totalling 540) are displayed. For the 2nd pass, the next even lines (also 540 lines) are displayed. 540x2 = 1080i.

As for how a 720P panel can input a 1080i signal, this is my guess. When a 720p processes a 1080i signal it will only take one of the passes (540 lines) and upscales them to 720p. The second pass is ignored. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Or is it only a portion of the 1st pass is processed followed by a portion of the 2nd pass, and then both are combined to form a 720p signal. Is this possible? Any technical AV expert here to enlighten me? smile.gif

You're right!!!

From wiki:
Resolution and aspect ratio
In HDV, the video frame is defined to have an aspect ratio of 16:9. Permitted resolutions are 720p and 1080i.

HDV 720p uses a resolution of 1280x720 square pixels. HDV 1080i uses a resolution of 1440×1080 pixels, but is still displayed with an aspect ratio of 16:9 (like SD widescreen formats, it uses a pixel aspect ratio of 1.33 instead of 1.0). This means it has lower horizontal resolution than true 1080 HD formats (1920x1080), but the same applies also to most other widely used HD formats including XDCAM HD, DVCPRO HD and HDCAM, all of which have the same or lower resolution as HDV.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Resolution_chart.svg#file

HDV resolution, while falling short of true 1080 HD, is still much higher than that of standard DV. Box area denotes relative perceived resolution, not the intended shape of the screen, which is why the 1080i box is not as tall as the 1080p box.
Despite this, the perceived detail of HDV is much higher than that of PAL or NTSC DV formats. 1440 pixels is still twice the horizontal resolution of SD formats. In total, each HDV frame has 1,555,200 pixels, which is 4.5 times the resolution of NTSC DV (345,600 pixels) and 3.75 times that of PAL DV (414,720 pixels).

The numbers above refer to the luminance (brightness) information only; chrominance (color) information is subsampled (4:2:0 for HDV) to reduce the amount of data, as happens with DV and DVD, although NTSC DV uses a different sampling pattern (4:1:1). In other words, in all these formats, the chrominance resolution is one quarter of the luminance resolution. Most professional video formats use a 4:2:2 sampling pattern, and some high-end formats support 4:4:4, which is to say full chroma sampling.


Added on September 19, 2007, 3:25 pmSomeone does share my view that Sony is misleading:

http://www.jakeludington.com/life/2007/what-is-full-hd-1080/
What is Full HD 1080?
February 5, 2007 at 2:01 pm · in Tech · Comments · Related

Sony has a logo program on most of their HD products, including camcorders, high-def televisions, projectors, and consumer electronics devices touting them as Full HD 1080. Presumably this is meant to differentiate from 1280×720 video or 1080i displays sold by the competition. I can't find anything on the Sony website that spells out the program, so on some level we're all left to draw our own conclusions. The closest Sony comes is with some marketing hype that says that "...the full power of HD requires the optimal display of 1920×1080 pixels, progressively scanned 60 times per second."

Steve Mullen at Digtal Content Producer runs with this definition of the Full HD 1080 logo program, claiming it is reserved for equipment with 1920×1080 content support at 60 progressive frames per second. Sadly Steve appears to misleading plenty of otherwise smart people like DV Guru (recently disbanded by AOL) and FresHDV in his good-as-gold definition of Full HD 1080.

Full HD 1080 definitely does not mean 1920×1080 at 60p in their camcorder line-up. The Sony HDR-SR1 camcorder bears the Full HD 1080 logo with a mere 1440×1080i resolution. That's not what I would call "full HD" and it certainly is not in keeping with the Steven Mullen and Digital Content Producer version of the Full HD 1080 logo program. My take is Sony created the Full HD 1080 logo program as a marketing ploy to differentiate Sony products from other alternatives, implying that anything bearing the Full HD 1080 logo as better than other alternatives.


Added on September 19, 2007, 3:34 pmSo Sony camcorder is crap since it record at 1440x1080(60i).
Whereas JVC record at 1920x1080(60i) tongue.gif. Sanyo Xacti record at 1920x1080(60p).

the best lcd 32'' probably stash somewhere in each of the manufacturer's RND facilities. too expensive to mass produce i believe smile.gif . For value for money then each has its own opinion.

wanna ask the difference between IPS and PVA panel ... and how to differentiate them if it is not mentioned in brouchure?

Interesting to see Pana rep (i think the Product Manager) to talk about Pana's latest IPS panel and comparing to other brands LCD panels as well. One of it looks like Samsung S8 which is IPS panel as well. hmm.gif

37" is cheap when it hit below rm4k mark. at this moment only LG 37" selling below that price. The old model can get even cheaper.

Thanks for the info zhuan97. Earlier I have seen some Panasonic LCD TV (can't remember those long model name:P) but they certainly look good. I am planning to 'upgrade' my old 29" SANYO TV..
Have checked out SONY, LG and SONY to name a few. Panasonic Viera certainly made it to my shortlist... Will check out that model in the shops.. biggrin.gif

it's not really 1080p, as u can see it's still uses 1,049,088 (1,366 x 768) pixels, just that the chipset able to produce near 1080p picture quality.

i went to another shop, have a look on Sharp Aquos LC32A53M, got offer for RM3600 cash. anyone have experience on this product?

common features of TX-32LX700MK & LC32A53M:

- 32"
- 100Hz
- 1,366 x 768 pixels

please give comment on both products...

how much is the RP for the TX-32LX700MK in Malaysia...

quick question again guys...is having a 100hz significant? i thought pure BR player would benefit having the 100hz?

and what is with the 1 MP and 1.33 Mp that comes with the ldc features? the higher the better?

The selling price for TX-37LX75MK is RM4,199.00 and for TX-32LX700MK is RM4,499.00.

I cannot give the answer for the significant of 100Hz, cos I haven't seen the demo set running on BR player...

yes..100hz eliminates ghosting..if u really wanna c d difference,play games that is action paced and fast..there will be no ghosting at all..it's like VGA card..100hz increased fps.let say if u use ati 2900xt (assume that it is 100hz tv) and compare it with ati 2600xt( 50hz lcd tv),2900xt will increased ur fps in gaming,that is all about..and another thing is,to my eyes,text are more sharper compare to normal lcd tv..1mp and 1.33mp is actually the resolution of the tv itself..if u have big pocket and 32 inch is ur target,go for pana 700mk or sony d series,basically starting from now,most manufacturers wil start using new hdmi interface as like HDMI 1.3..and this input can accept 1080P contents.BUT,it is just a marketing hype,32 inchers like pana 700mk and sony d series,still can't display true HD reso (1920 x 1080) juz like wat they hav promoted their products.this is because their panel reso is still the same old 1366 x 768..when the accept 1080p signal thru hdmi port,it will downscale it to d tv resolution which is 1366 x 768..if u can wait..sharp will be releasing new models..and they have 37 inch fullHD tv ( 1920 x 1080)..no offense,but lots of people asked me,why u waste so much money buying 32 inch lcd tv for RM4499 while u can get 32 inchers as low as RM2599,well..if u really want a very good LCD tv,u have to consider few factors,such as what type of panel they use?and most new lcd used new S-IPS technology..YES,that is so true..BUT are those all IPS panel will give u same color reproduction?how bout clouds?color banding?backlight bleeding?dead pixels?..we have to take notes all of that..i hav a friend looking to buy a new lcd tv..n i was bout selling my old LCD tv( which is LG 32LC2R )m selling cheap,letting it go for RM 1.5k only.but my panel has no backlight bleeding n cloud effect..i told him to get my lcd tv,i explained everything to him,but he did'nt buy mine,he bought a sony S200 32 inch old model for 2k plus.he was so happy,n when i go to his house to check out his new tv,i was like,oh man is this SONY??? the tv has a lot of noise,cloudiness,n backlight bleeding all over the panel,backlight bleeding at all 4 corners...the reason of what m explaining is juz to say that,not all big brands lcd tv manufacturers can offer u the best product,for my case,LG are known to be the most affordable brand for LCD TV n Plasma TV,and sony is a well known brand..we shop for the best product,not the best brand..

i thought 100hz has no correlation with ghosting? can clarify? ghosting is correlated to response time right?

and uhm...dun think below rm3k we can watch 32 inch full hd? so on that persona i might be far from acquiring full hd ones...

but at the moment m interested to know whether a 50hz and 100hzz does make a lots of difference...

I would say higher refresh rates will mean smoother motion and less eye fatigue. The refresh rates for most pc gaming rigs are around 85HZ (the higher the better) so for LCD tvs sporting 100HZ or 120HZ (PAL) refresh rates, it is a breakthrough and I do feel ghosting is related to response time.

Well, for action packed movies, like when King Kong swings and jumps while fighting the dinosaurs, it's smoother with 100hz. I have done A-B comparisons with Sony Bravia D & V series. That is what I feel. You can bring your own disc to test it. Of course, games will benefit the most with 100hz especially Gears Of War, FEAR and GRAW 2.

when u see 100Hz n 50Hz in CRT.. u can instantly see the different.. the price gap are also huge...

100Hz CRT work like a line doubler... make the big screen(29" above) without the horizontal line which u can see in 50Hz CRT...

but in LCD... really significant?? sweat.gif sweat.gif

Well, you can tell the difference between a normal LCD running at 50 HZ / 60 HZ to one running at 100 HZ / 120 HZ. It's not too hard to spot the differences. Even my mum could spot the difference when we were at a Sony Centre looking at the Bravia S, V & D series. The increased refresh rates do help in reducing motion juddering, most noticeable in a sports game, when the camera pans and zooms. Try again, I'm sure you'll spot the difference. If not, just get a basic LCD will do if you're happy with what you see but for me, I'm aware that it's not the same.

The Panasonic TX-32LX700MK doesn't have very deep blacks, dark scenes looked greyish and colours are not as vivid as Samsung R8 or Sony Brave V / D series but if you like a panel which is more neutral and tonned down, this might be the one for you but for myself, I prefer something bright with strong colours.

i think becos of IPS panel, the dark is not so great compare to PVA panel.
this is common disadvantage of IPS panel, but the color reproduction for IPS is better than PVA alot.

IPS has better viewing angles and richer colours but for deeper blacks, S-PVA panels will win by a bigger margin. Both panels have their pros and cons.

Philips 32TA2800, RM2399 @ carrefour sri petaling.
Commonly knowing that the best quality for astro so far compared to other LCD TV.
Even though the spec is not as good as Sony KLV-32S310, but it's cheaper and look nice in astro.
U can check out with the sales promoter..it's famous.

IPS panels normally used by LG, Philips, Panasonic and Hitachi (not all models lah, the higher end models use IPS panels). S-PVA mostly used by Sony or Samsung (selected models only).

I've been looking at 32" LCDs too for a few days, only chanced upon this thread.

If it helps, trustedreviews.com has reviews of the 100Hz 32-inchers from Panasonic (the 700MK), JVC (don't think available in Malaysia yet) and Sharp (the A53 Aquos).

The Sharp's 100Mhz processor is too aggressive, resulting in "shimmering edge" effects. The Panasonic's 100Mhz processor, even though it's older, produces better results and is highly rated by trustedreviews.com.

PS I just found out there is a both 70MK and 700MK.. just one digit difference but very difference in price and performance!

Sharp is using their own panels so it doesn't fall under the IPS or S-PVA panels.

Well, to be frank, Samsung's R8 will be the winner here if compared to the S series model but you can consider Sony's Bravia V series, you should be able to get it around RM3700 plus after nego, that is even better than Samsung's R8.

Samsung R series will beat the Sony S series. Done the benchamrking at Senq by taking the samsung unit to the Sony corner and comparing side by side from exactly the same colour component source.

Resolution: 1,366 x 768
Brightness: 550nit
Dynamic Cont: 8,000:1
Response time: 8ms
Processing: DNle
HDMI: 3
Panel Bit: ???

.........SONY S series 32'....

Brightness: 450nit
Dynamic Cont: 8,000:1
Response time: 8ms
Processing: BRAVIA
HDMI: 2

Hi guys, I have a noob question here.

Is it possible to change the 32" lcd size to 19 or 20" size?

Because i will be using it as both a TV and PC monitor as well, so 32" for monitor is too big.

So is it possible?

Thank you.

Only the first batch of PSPs from Sony are using Sharp TFT screens, the current PSPs in the market are using Samsung TFT screens, the difference is Sharp's TFT has better colours and less ghosting. This is an attempt by Sony to cut down production costs of their small wonder handheld.

If you want the lowest price, I'd suggest you avoid the big electrical chains and go for the smaller shops. You'll still get the standard warranty but none of those 5 years warranty offered by the bigger shops.

For example the 40" Philips 1080p LCD TV, the last time I checked, Best Denki is selling them for RM9000+, RM6999 at Jusco but a shop at SS2 PJ is selling them for RM5800 if paying by cash.

Any of you interested in the LG 37" LC4R or the LC7R. I am getting either of these (New Set) from LG as a replacement for my LC2R (old model, no more parts) which they were unable to repair.

Once I get it I will be trying to sell off at a discount and buy another model.

I am not trying to sell now (yet to receive the set yet). Just want to know if there is a chance any of you might be interested.

37" is sure a sweet spot for a LCD tv, it's the right size for movies and gaming plus viewing full frame contents in their actual size won't look too small. Gud luck in your sales Bro. Anyone who haven't bought a LCD yet, should consider Bro Ngto's offer.

I notice that there are 2 pana models which are named almost similar:
1) TX-32LX700MK
2) TX-32LX70MK

Both are different. Please note that. The one offered by mbf xtremedeals is the lower specs model TX-32LX70MK.
Anyway, i would like to know if the lesser model TX-32LX70MK is still worth buying?

Any of you interested in the LG 37" LC4R or the LC7R. I am getting either of these (New Set) from LG as a replacement for my LC2R (old model, no more parts) which  they were unable to repair.

Once I get it I will be trying to sell off at a discount and buy another model.

I am not trying to sell now (yet to receive the set yet). Just want to know if there is a chance any of you might be interested.

Why did it die? I am curious coz i have a LC2 too.

Not only that, most plasma panels support 18-bit colour (billions of colours) whereas for LCD tvs, mostly are 8-bit panels with some models from Sony and Samsung supporting a true 10-bit panel. The only saving grace for LCDs will be that they're much brighter than Plasma panels. Of course, it doesn't mean anything if you're watching Astro or normal dvds, which are only 8-bit at the moment. Even the current HD-DVD and Blu-Ray lineup don't support more than 8-bit colour at the moment.

It didn't die. Just had a defect. When a scene is really bright, you won't notice the defect because the brightness masks it. But if the scene is half bright and is mostly of single colour like a plain blue sky or a plain coloured wall, then the defect shows. It is a large patch of darker colour from the middle left of the screen stretching to the center of the screen. If the scene is blue it will appear as a darker blue etc.

It is most annoying when I am staring at it whan using my computer on a white background. The patch will appear as gray.

How old is your LC2R btw? Is it 37" inch too?

18-bit is not future proof but it's like what you have said, you prefer the rich colours offered by plasma, that's b'coz it has a 18-bit panel. Pioneer will be releasing 24-bit panels next year, I guess it will hit the RM20K mark and above for sure since it is probably a full HD plasma tv. Blu-Ray and HD-DVD formats can support up to 36-bit colour via HDMI v1.3 spec but so far, none of them in the market supports more than 8-bit colours. Maybe in the next few years or when Transformers 2 hit HD-DVD in 2010. laugh.gif

Yup, that's true. It's b'coz they haven't have the necessary authoring tools and supporting hardwares yet. The PS3 is HDMI v1.3 ready and it supports 36-bit and even 48-bit colours too so it's up to game developers to decide whether they wish to support 36-bit colours for their games but I frankly feel that it is not possible considering the fact that the GPU in the PS3 is weaker than XBOX 360 or current pc graphic cards. The frame rates will suffer if it is implemented because of the higher bandwidth requirements. XBOX 360 can't even support 36-bit or 48-bit colours as it's doesn't meet the HDMI v1.3 requirements.

Pioneer Kuro really thumbup.gif but sadly such panels can't be produced here. Most of the made in Malaysia high tech products suffer from QC problems. It's better that it is fully imported from Japan especially when it is positioned as a high end product.

Well, ask yourself one question, can you differentiate between a 6-bit TN panel with a 8-bit IPS / S-PVA panel for computer LCD monitors? If your answer is a no, then I guess you should know the answer. Well, colour banding is not a problem with panels able to output billions of colours, not only it looks smoother, it's more fluid and natural too, giving you a film like experience. That's where Plasma wins in this respect.

Wah, the price dropped so quickly. Scary ...... Probably the new models from Samsung should be hitting the market soon. I believe the next batch will have 100MHZ motion flow and 3 HDMI inputs at least.

Movies? In what sense? Astro? Tv programs? DVDs? If yes, they support 8-bit colour only, 36-bit is only possible with HDMI v1.3 certified panels and equipments.

Haiya...that day i thought i saw some ad in newspaper quoted FullHD for all range from 32,37 and 40 inches....must be blantant false advertising by the companies (not sharp, maybe just the retailer i guess)...

Anyway, i just want to watch DVD movies, gaming is not a concern as i've given up on gaming already. So 1080i is more than good enuff until the day BlueRay or HD-DVD is as common as err...ahemm..smile.gif

If all else being the same, i think i'll go for 37" inches LCD. 32" inch too small and 40" inch stretching budget too much.

Usually how much is a good 37" LCD? Around 3.5k to 4k??

Any particular brand and model to recommend for this range?

But the panel is not an actual Full HD panel lah, it accepts 1080p signals and resize it to 720p (the native resolution of the panel). For the price, cannot complain already since whether it is a Full HD or not, it's not noticeable from a 32 incher, sometimes not even noticeable from a 40 incher but more obvious on a 46 and 52 incher models. To me, not a big deal whether it is Full HD or not for the 32 or 40 incher models.

http://www.cheaptv.org.uk/sharp-reduces-pr...quos-lcd-hdtvs/

Sharp start to slash the price of their old units. For example

LC-42D62U - Was $2,299.99 now $1,479, and from my research, dunno right or wrong, is LC-42GD7X in Asia. I can;t find it anywhere in Sharp Malaysia website. And at that price, without delivery and tax, is around 5k in MYR currency

For me, I'll go for the Philips. Reason is this:

Philips has the Pixel Plus. It does support Full HD, but its resolution is 1366 x 768. What i know is that it take full hd input and downscale it to fix the screen. Believe me when i say that the picture gives me the WOW factor. Very nice contrast, I can see the shadow very nice. Too bad the 42" version look like shit. This 32" wins my vote hands down. I compare the Samsung 32R8 and the Philips using the same input. Philips wins hands down. Go down and take a look at the TV. It;s best to see the tvs side by side. You'll see that Philips is the best. Sony S Series is the lower end series. I don;t like the color. Samsung is the same.

The shop play a DVD on the Philips. , put in a concert. From there you can see how good the contrast is. Then they put in a scenery, got waterfall and forest and all, very nice indeed. Then they put it on a Philips 42" with the same engine as the 32" (according to the salesperson), I just wanna bang my head on the wall. Really poor PQ (Maybe because beside the Philips 42" is a Pioneer 42". Pioneer has nice PQ, but price also very "nice"). The 32R8 they put in Astro. To tell you the truth, I would rather see Astro from Toshiba 42A3000E series than seeing 32R8. I cannot accept the quality. Surprising to me, the Toshiba 42" looks better than a Samsung 32". I thought should be the other way around. Samsung 32" on Astro look all blocky and the color just isn;t appealing to me.

Anyway, do know that some shop will try to promote a certain brand to you. They will say this and that about other brands. Know that certain brand gives better commission to them. In Penang SEC, they hook up the LCD to Astro so that you can see the PQ on astro, So, when you go to the shop, ask them to hook up astro and let you see.

For me, I'll go for the Philips. Reason is this:

Philips has the Pixel Plus. It does support Full HD, but its resolution is 1366 x 768. What i know is that it take full hd input and downscale it to fix the screen.  Believe me when i say that the picture gives me the WOW factor. Very nice contrast, I can see the shadow very nice.  Too bad the 42" version look like shit. This 32" wins my vote hands down. I compare the Samsung 32R8 and the Philips using the same input. Philips wins hands down. Go down and take a look at the TV. It;s best to see the tvs side by side. You'll see that Philips is the best. Sony S Series is the lower end series. I don;t like the color. Samsung is the same.

Tell you what. When you went down to see the tv, take notice on scenes that have grass and a lot of shadows. See if you can see which tv can produce a more natural green color, see if you can see how black is the shadow. Also, one i notice is that Samsung's black is too black that the picture lose it's detail. To see this, try to look at scenes that focus on the sunlight, there ought to have a lot of shadows^^

if in terms of 42" i would recommend for 42PFL7432. It's 28.9billion colors man..better picture quality compare with 42PFL7422. both LCD is same price!!

In terms of the design, i believe Samsung always the winner..haha..everyone definately will fall in love with Samsung design at 1st sight.

PQ is always subjective. But if i guess correctly, the S Series from Sony is on the lower range in Sony's LCD TV products. How much are you willing to pay for the LCD? Both are RM900 apart.

The truth is, you need to make the decision after you see both of them. Now let add in some confusion for you.

Go to electronic shop selling LCD TV. Most of them will:

1. Tell you not to buy Philips and Sony
2. Why? Philips like to spoilt alot and made in China. Sony is overprice, and PQ is not that great compared to other lcd tvs. Some will even say Sony use panel from Samsung, better take Samsung, cheaper. Look nicer. Shops that have high commission from Sharp will try to push Sharp to you, maybe Toshiba too.

You need to know while Sony might be using LCD panels from Samsung, both of them are using different engine, Sony = WEGA BRAVIA, Samsung = dnie. THis is what set them apart.

Philips, while it might be true it is made in China, but can you be sure that Sony won;t use a component made in China? They don;t tell you that. Even machine from Sony can spoilt. Philips made their stuffs in China to lower their price. What is more important is the PQ, and WARRANTY. Try to get a good warranty. I just saw from SEC that they add in 5 years warranty. From what the sales person said, what is cover is lightning, theft, and (this is new) own abuse. They'll pay you the original price even if it;s your own fault. I think jsut add in RM 300. I think it's worth it. SO, even if it;s spoilt, you can rest assured that it's still be insured.

Not sure about phillips panel but based on my experience Sony is using S-PVA panels manufactured by Samsung for their V series onwards where as Samsung only uses S-PVA for their higher range. Most Samsung's LCD in the mid range like the R81 uses S-MVA either manufactured by CMO or AUO(not sure the full name). S-MVA manufactured by AUO is considered equivalent to S-PVA but in reality, it is still not as good as the original S-PVA panels. S-MVA manufactured by CMO is not as good as those from AUO. You can tell the differences by the product code behind Samsung's tv whether it is A, C or S to determine its manufacturer and you can tell the type of panel by looking at the shape of its pixels. As for the S series for samsung, it uses the lowest quality panel which is MVA. I'm not sure which panel Sony S series are using but to be safe I'd rather go for their V series.

I get a quote from a certain LCD shop in SS2:

SONY KLV-32S310A=RM 2800

LG 32LC7R=RM 2350

AQUOS 32A53M=RM 3350

Seems like most expensive is Sharp AQUOS. The salesman at the shop is talking some nonsense about the AQUOS has 3 times the resolution of normal LCD!!! WTF! Does he knows what he is talking about!! It's not even FullHD!

anyway, i noticed a very weird thing...it seems the AQUOS has the best image proportion, the other models (Toshiba, Samsung, LG etc) have the image slightly elongated and there's some missing picture area at both side compared to the AQUOS....what gives?? The salesman was blabbering this is the AQUOS "full mode" while the other models don't have....i suspect maybe it's some setting issue???

I tested with both ASTRO and a DVD ("Heroes" starring Jet Li).

Any expert can give advise?

It depends on the options available in the various sets.

My older LG 37LC2R had 8 different sizes to choose from for TV viewing, among them the Full mode . Don't know if it's the same feature you are talking about.

But I think the new LC7R series no longer has the Full mode.

Still not sure if you are referring to the same Full mode as the LG.

Here's a few options available on my set

1) Original mode (Just like original 4:3) on conventional TV - You get the right proportion
but since the TV is 16:9 , the left and right side will have black bars of course.
2) 4:3 mode - Will force the source to be in 4:3 mode (in this case same as above)
3) 16:9 mode - will enlongate the 4:3 TV image to fit the 16:9 screen (People will look Fat)
4) 14:9 mode - Will take the 4:3 image and overscan the top and bottom slightly so that the image
is bigger and the black bars on left and right are less. The image will still look proportionate.
5) Zoom1
6) Zoom2
7) Spectacle- Almost the same is 16:9 but top and bottom hass more overscan
8) Full - Whenever the TV program is in widescreen (with the black bars at top and bottom)
it will automatically detect and enlage the top and bottom so that the black bars disappear. The peoples faces will then be proportionate.

Thanks for the tip. But when i test the TVs yesterday, even DVD movies looks slightly fatter compared other TVs with the AQUOS. But of course, i only test 1 movie. I still somehow suspect the salesman is trying to bluff me. When i watch the movie yesterday, there's still plenty black bars on top and bottom.

I think gotta go another place to test it out...maybe even bring my own DVD next time.

I notice that too, i think it's called overscan. I compared 40" or Sharp and 42" for Philips and Toshiba. All of the have the same Disney channel from Astro. I'm not sure, but i saw the mickey mouse like logo on the bottom left of the screen. Now, Sharp was able to display everything without missing anything, while Philips is the worst of the pack. Toshiba missed out something too, but not as much as Philips. We try to meddle with Philips setting, but we can;t get it to show all.

But i find the SHARP model seems to be a bit dark. But the text are definitely sharper as can see on the suubtitles.

Overscan is it? I'll check out more on this.

Hihi! I just stumble upon this topic which is exactly what i want... pinned it 1st.. biggrin.gif

Ok... I would like to buy 32" LCD, budget RM3K - 3.2K only the most. That's all the money i got. Use to watch DVD & TV only. My viewing distance is quite short 2-3m only. Minimum requirement.. color must be good.. good contrast. Clear. That's all.

Any suggestion?

I went to a shop.. they told me.. compare with Sony, Toshiba & LG... LG is better & cheaper coz their contrast is the highest which is 10000:1.

Pls advice.

FYI..my LG c7 looks fabulous with my PS3 games..

most of the lcd panels are similar in quality. It is the source that is important. eg : ps3 games with 1080p looks very good on my screen. astro (live football games) not so good..boxy.

garbage in garbage out..hehe

I plan to buy a 37" LCD TV by early next year, my budget is ard 3.5k. which brand/model i can get? I saw some dvd player now have this upscale function, did the upscale function really make the difference?

If want to buy next year, then you are wasting your time asking the price now. Price changes very fast.

If want to buy now, then some shop quoting Toshiba 37" at slightly less than RM3,600/-. The LG 37LC4R should be less than that.

Hihi! I just stumble upon this topic which is exactly what i want... pinned it 1st..  biggrin.gif

Ok... I would like to buy 32" LCD, budget RM3K - 3.2K only the most. That's all the money i got. Use to watch DVD & TV only. My viewing distance is quite short 2-3m only. Minimum requirement.. color must be good.. good contrast. Clear. That's all.

Any suggestion?

I went to a shop.. they told me.. compare with Sony, Toshiba & LG... LG is better & cheaper coz their contrast is the highest which is 10000:1.

Pls advice.

All this contrast ratio crap is rubbish. There's currently no standard way to test contrast ratio and the manufactuerers use their own standard to bloat the figure. LG is the greatest culprit for this.

The best thing is to see the image for yourself and decide which is best for you.

Frankly, i'm having headache now as well, trying to compare the image quality...

btw, LG 32" can be bought for around 2.3k.

They above manufacturers provide their own special player with a very good quality image specially to play on their own products.

Even when the shop is just using ordinary players, they sometimes don't always use the same type of connectors resulting in different quality image. I have seen some connected with just the normal AV cable and others with component cables. Of course the component cables have the advantage.

There are also lots of other factors involved, so don't always be taken in by the tricks of the trade. Even a little thing like the placement of the display (how high or low in relating to your eye level) wil affect the image quality.

Some manufacture even boost that they have 1million:1 contrast ratio..... I dunno whether this is true or not, but usually this super high contrast brings nothing but marketing feat.

And if you notice... contrast ratio are even divided into the static and dynamic ratio, which dynamic is usually around 1.5 to 2 times the static ratio.

trust your eye more than these figures

Should be around 4 or 5 times. Dynamic ratio is nonsense, all jack up their figures so as not to lose out to their competitors. Just like for music they always quote incredible PMPO figures whereas RMS should be a more accurate indicator.

Take for e.g LG LC7R model. The average contrast is only 1,000:1 but they quote an incredible Dynamic contrast of 10,000:1.

Why not? It's plasma that should be avoided due to burn in issue, right?

D62U is GD7X Asian equivalent. That is what i think i found out. And you can;t get it in malaysia. D62U is an old model and Sharp slash the price on these model, it's so unfortunate we can;t get it here.

A63M is not in Malaysian market.

let me tell you a joke. This happpen last Saturday. I was researching on this model Philips 42PFL7432. It's a Full HD, with Perfect Pixel HD with Ambilight. Cost? Around USD 1300. That is in the US. But the equivalent model here is 42PFL9532. Cost? RM 13999

Wanna know the spec for 42PFL7432 for Malaysia/Asian region? 42" Full HD, Pixel PLus HD(A going to be abandone tech from Philips [from what i read on the net]), no Ambilight.


So, see the difference?

When u using 29 inches TV right now
it's better to you to get bigger size for LCD
32 LCD look small if u compare to normal flat 29 inched TV
I know the size isn't the same but the look....it's still look small to me

i'm deciding to get bigger than 32 inches coz later, i will not worry anymore about my TV size
the bigger u get, the better
at least 40 inches would be fantastic

just imagine u watching DVD, especially original DVD, it's will be drool.gif rclxm9.gif icon_idea.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

Was at the new Harvey Norman at Bkt Tinggi, Klang to check out the lcd and plasma tvs. Damn hard to really judge because the models (panasonic LX700 and sharp A53) i wanted to test all hooked up to different players, using different cables and worst of all not tuned properly. doh.gif

I compared the ASTRO picture quality against other brands (within the same price range of course) before purchasing my Sony LCD V series few weeks ago.

IMO, the ASTRO picture quality is better on Sony smile.gif

I wanted to buy the D series but the price is freaking expensive for the 40 inch model and even the 32 inch model is more expensive than Panasonic's 37 incher. Of course, besides the 100hz motion flow, Sony is using a 10-bit panel across all their models for the D series and even the 32 inch model has it but the price is too expensive for this size. If it's around RM3K to RM4K, that is still okay with me but at RM4.5K, that's insane. The 40 inch model is around RM7.5K. Anyway, Sony products have less discounts than other brands, that's for sure as they always control the suggested retail price and shops are not allowed to sell them at a cheaper price.

The 100hz and 120hz differences are mainly due to the the NTSC / PAL signal input. For example, the Sony Bravia D series sold in the UK all have 120hz motion flow feature, our version comes with 100hz motion flow though.

It still suck even compared to ahem dvds. Haiya ....... Astro is really old school, that's the reason, I still kept my bulky 34' Sony Wega CRT tv, for Astro, PS2, XBOX, Dreamcast, etc ........ perfect candidate for standard definition signals in 4:3 aspect ratio.

No use also lah, Astro programs are in 4:3 aspect ratio, can output in 1080p also no point. Of course, they might charge double for the little extra resolution.

Yup..coz asia countries like Malaysia is using PAL signal input. so normal frame per second is like 50Hz. After double up then is 100Hz.
If the set in countries' that using NTSC which the normal frame is 60Hz. after double up then it will be 120Hz.

IMO, the 120/100hZ is marketing marketing. CRT has can benefits, no LCD cannot really the benefits.

I think the reason we want to have 100hz tv when the broadcast is in 50hz is because when the tv to inverse telecine, it can just double up the frame to 100hz,so its easier. No need to do 3:2 inverse.
but if I bought hd dvd with 1080p24 output, I rather have 120hz tv.

Monster cables are overpriced IMO. This RM20+ cable with free shipping should do the job just fine....

if im not mistaken HDMI1.3 only support 60HZ, so maybe 100hz or more for future and no used for now.

The 100Hz is through the TV itself, not input through the HDMI.

Well, you should check out Toshiba's C3500 latest LCD tvs, it comes with an IPS panel and 6.5 ms response time. Seems like Panasonic, LG and Toshiba are pretty loyal to the IPS technology. Of course, the 100hz flicker free thingy is implemented now as well as 1080p 24fps. Sadly, two HDMIs only.

ya..but our TV using PAL system mah..so impossible to make it 120Hz lor..even though it can.
btw,100Hz/120Hz i bet r same. It helps to remove motion blur.

In fact, Panasonic/Toshiba & LG/Philips are using different panel.
Panasonic and Toshiba using IPS-α panel.
LG and Philips using S-IPS panel.

Yup..coz asia countries like Malaysia is using PAL signal input. so normal frame per second is like 50Hz. After double up then is 100Hz.
If the set in countries' that using NTSC which the normal frame is 60Hz. after double up then it will be 120Hz.
*
As far as I know, All LCD panels only take 60Hz to 120Hz. Except special LCD panels from sharp where they are design for PAL. So it doesn't matter which country you are in basically the signal is first converted from 50Hz to 60Hz before it can be displayed on a LCD panel.

Of course if you are using NTSC signal, then you will have the best benefit from signal conversion artifact. However Sharp has a Panel specially designed far PAL signal.

I would disagree that Sony Bravia D is in Asia 100Hz.....

I have a Sony KLV-46V300 not so impressive using the ASTRO!

Another topic....did anyone notice that watching normal 4:3 program from Astro or TV broadcast will normally turn a beautiful slim looking babe to a fat and rounded babe instead on a 16:9 LCD? Unless you change to 4:3 mode and live with the 2 blank band on the left and right side!

We need more 16:9 programmes!!!

From what I have gathered so far, (correct me if I am wrong)

Those LCD TV which can input 24p is not that useful unless the TV set itself support 120Hz. That's because in order for smooth judder free video, the frequency must be in multiples of 24 ... e.g 24, 48,..... 96 or 120hz, for perfect synchronization. Otherwise, even if the TV can input 24p, it will still have to do some sort of pulldown technique.

Currently those TV which claim can input 24P but does not have 120hz frequency is just marketing hype. It's akin to those TV which claim can input 1080P signal but the panel itself is only 1366x768 resolution.

Personally i vote for Sony because...it has Game and Astro mode...your Astro viewing on LCD will be much better. But, i heard Sharp is the most preffered brand in Japan. Not sure on their quality because never try Sharp.

Yup, I think that is pretty much right. But recently i saw a tv advert in newspaper saying the tv can handle 100hz and 120hz (LG or hitachi, cant remember). thus this mean we can select any one of the freq given, or its simply saying its actually 100hz, but it can accept 120hz (similar as normal tv with 50hz but can watch 24hz by pulldown method).

I think you guys mixed up the issues, whether the input can accept 24p (film based source) is not the same topic as the LCD panel refreshing at 100/120Hz la.

and also the capability to input signal 1080p has nothing to do with the panel resolution 1366x768 output.. 2 separate topics.

for example, if a LCD TV has 1366x768, it would be better for the TV's internal scaler to accept this full HD signal and discart additional information from a 1080p24 based signal rather than try to upscale a 720p signal to 1366x768p or convert 1080i to 1366x768

no la..just my preference to drive 1366x768 with 1080i (if that TV internal deinterlacer is decent) or accept 1080p24 signal than upscale 720p (if the choice is available, so 1080p24 capable TV would enable you all these choices rather than limit your options)

I think you have mixed up what we were discussing. We are discussing one thing and you are talking about another.

My point is , If you want to input 24p then the best combination is with a 120Hz TV.

On A 100Hz TV which can input 24P, there will still be judder because of the uneven match (24p can't be multiplied to exactly match 100Hz frequency) . It will have to use some sort of technique to fill in the missing frames. How well the manufacturer implements the technique will determine how smooth the video will be.

On the other hand , if you have 120Hz TV which can input also input 24P signals, it won't have to do any pulldown because it just multiply the 24 by 5 times.

btw, I only mentioned the topic of 1080P input on a panel with resolution of 768 just to show an example of how people are sometimes misled into believing that any panel which can input 1080P signal is automatically a Full HD Panel itself.

Just like how people are misled that just because the TV can input 24P , it will automatically have the optimal frequency to handle the signal smoothly.

The two examples are not meant to be related, other than the fact that they are sometimes used to mislead people for marketing purposes.

Exactly what we are discussing, 120hz will have a simpler inverse telecine for a 24p than 100hz. You can afford though to have a 100hz, 70hz or what ever freq of your LCD tv have, given it will do a proper 3:2 pulldown. And there is not many tv that can do that (according to the expert from hidefdigest). One of them is Sharp A63 model, which is why Im looking for it so desperately cos Sharp Malaysia dont have those model. Singapore have.....

I think most of the current gen lcd will fit in your tv criteria (mainly for gaming). The only question is budget. I myself using the old samsung R71. Couldnt complain much. Just look around for current lcd within the budget and enjoy.

The two examples are not meant to be related, other than the fact that they are sometimes used to mislead people for marketing purposes.

lets examine your point... if that's the case, why are LCD TVs promoting this 100HZ/120Hz and not plasmas? if such feature is really made primarily for anti judder 24Hz filmbased source.?

I think there are 2 main issues on implementing 100/120Hz, the main one is mostly to counter the motion blur/pixel lag primarily caused by LCD panels compared to plasma TV.

doing 5:5 pulldown is secondary benefit from double frame rate of a 120HZ TV cos the 100Hz version (obviously from PAL regions) won't be able to multiply 5 x 24 to 120.
besides, different manufacturers will have different frame interpolation technologies implemeted in this double Hz feature, so your milage may vary ..not all builtin 100/120Hz processors are equal..


on your other point of input signals, I get ya, but being able to accept a variety of input signals including the famed 1080p24 is essential especially when the next gen sources are already capable of outputting this in year 2007 (in the past, the arguement was there was no 1080p24 source so why bother), then no reason why a new range telly built in 07 onwards should be lagging behind in input signal options.

Exactly what we are discussing, 120hz will have a simpler inverse telecine for a 24p than 100hz. You can afford though to have a 100hz, 70hz or what ever freq of your LCD tv have, given it will do a proper 3:2 pulldown. And there is not many tv that can do that (according to the expert from hidefdigest). One of them is Sharp A63 model, which is why Im looking for it so desperately cos Sharp Malaysia dont have those model. Singapore have.....
you assume the current 120HZ LCD TV will do 5:5 pull down from 24fps film based source? hope you are not one of those who think 1080p input means displaying 1080p output as well.

anyway excerpts from AVS


"Heres why I suspect you might be seeing judder.

When 24FPS film is converted to 60Hz 3:2 pulldown is done on the movie. This effectively interlaces the static image but also makes motion slightly smoother, and blurrier. Effectively this causes half the image to change roughly every 1/48th of a second (not exactly, but sort of). But basically at any given time no more than half the information is updated.

In 120Hz, they simply do 5:5 pulldown, or repeat each full frame 5 times. This means every 1/24 of a second a whole new frame is shown.

You might see Judder because you are seeing crisper edges during motion due to a lack of 3:2 pulldown, since 5:5 pulldown displays the whole frame change at once. Typically 5:5 is much preferred over 3:2 due to clarity in the whole frame being updated at once instead of field based updating, but its possible 5:5 pulldown disturbs you as much as 3:2 disturbs some other people.

Just be thankful were not in Europe on 50Hz, where they either just trash a frame.... or speed up a movie by 4.2% and just hope no one notices."

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Krotchy,

That's a nice opinion, except for now there is NO 120hz panel actually doing 5:5 pulldown [24fps, with each original frame repeated 5 times]. Toshiba just released one that does, but it's only available in Japan currently (maybe the USA next year).

All of these "120hz" LCDs, are simply "refreshing", or doubling the current 60hz signal, by adding a newly processed frame [thru the processing chip's algorithm] between each "real" frame of the content [inside of the 3:2 pulldown process]. It's better, but definitely not the same as real 5:5 pulldown.

JVC's version of 120hz is now in its 2nd generation [new 898 series releasing this month, in 37", 42" & 47" 10-bit, 1080p panel sizes], which they dub "Clear Motion Drive II", and specifically designed for both horizontal and vertical 1080 resolution. Note: the previous 120hz version from late 2005 was only for vertical 720 resolution, in a 37" panel only.

JVC's version is combined with their excellent 32-bit Genessa processing chip, along with their great 5th generation D.I.S.T. scaler, and features accurate colors right out of the box.

See JVC's 2007 LCD displays here - http://tv.jvc.com/main.jsp - also for more info on JVC technology and features, view the company's 2007 Press Releases here - http://www.jvc.com/press/index.jsp"

Since the topic is about LCD TV, there's where my main focus is on. LCD TVs are already going towards 100hz/120hz, so given the situation the best match for a judder free 24fps input would be a 120Hz TV.

But it doesn't mean 120Hz is the only option for 24fps. My main contention all along is that the best combination would be in multiples of 24 i.e - 48, 72, 96, 120hz.

Then again there is also no denying that other factors also contribute the smoothness of video. This is another topic in itself so I don't want to go into that.

As for Plasma TV, there already existed those with 72Hz before we started hearing about LCD TVs with 120hz. So that's one of the reasons why Plasma has a headstart in judder free 24fps input.

I might be wrong in some of my assessments, since you seem to know more than what I have been able to gather so far.

I am still in the learning process smile.gif

I also initially thought 120HZ will benefit 24fps but looks like current LCD TVs do the doubling after the 3:2 process.. I was like WTF?... biggrin.gif


Added on December 11, 2007, 2:22 pmNgto, yeah, plasma 72Hz is for 3:3 pulldown on 24fps.

But I don't think able to do 120Hz yet esp 1080p, I think got some technical hurdles on plasma panel technology to improve 1st before able to get down to 120HZ (on the electronics processor side, no problem)..

a) 2 HDMI input (A3500)
b) the stand different
c) speaker location slightly different!

Isn't the above problem due to the DVD player itself which does a pulldown before sending the signal to the 120Hz TV.

With a Blu-ray player which can directly output pure 24fps to the 120Hz TV (with 24fps input) , wouldn't that result in smooth judder free video?

to my understanding from the discussion in that forum, the current 120hz range of LCD, will take the 24fps make it to 3:2 (60HZ) and then double the frames to 120hz.. so there is no direct 5:5 pulldown. so really, the 120Hz feature is not designed primarily to reduce film to video judder but rather to solve the problem of LCD pixels long "hold" times causing LCD motion blurness.

from the forums again....
>>>>>>>>>
just to give you some actual technical info

from SID journals

"LCD Motion blur is a well known problem. Although many solutions have been proposed, some fundamental questions have not been answered yet. In this paper, we try to answer such questions. Specifically, we calculate the waveform and its blur width of a moving edge perceived on LCD screen for current LCD and the proposed four solutions of hold-type motion blur. We found that the slow response of current LCD is not a dominant factor of motion blur. The slow response of current LCD only contributes to 30% of the motion blur, while the hold-type rendering mode of LCD contributes to 70%. Therefore, fast LCD such as OCB itself does not significantly reduce motion blur. Fast LCD, on the other hand, is critical to the proposed three solutions of hold-type blur to avoid the ghosting artifact. With fast LCD, black data insertion and frame rate doubling can provide 50% reduction of motion blur. With both fast response LCD and fast backlight, backlight flashing can provide much higher reduction of motion blur. (C)2005 Society for Information Display "

Traditional (typical) LCDs hold each pixel voltage on for the "entire" frame period. For 60Hz this means 16ms (1/60). For 120Hz this means 8ms. There is no "off" or "dead" time in between frames. This is the problem.

For a 60Hz CRT each frame period is still 16ms but each phosphor dot (equivilent to a pixel) is only illuminating for ~1.5 ms. Hence they are called "impulse" displays.

According to this article, the whole 120Hz thing really is meant as a workaround
for a particular flaw inherent to LCDs, thus it doesn't/shouldn't apply to plasmas:
http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/home-entertainm...tion-290237.php

From the article:

"As video editor Geoff Morrison's piece explains, part of the blur perception
comes from the fact that, on standard LCDs, frames are frozen on the screen
for 1/60th of a second, and then abruptly shift to the next frame. This is called
"sample and hold." Other technologies like plasma and DLP don't hold the frame
for that whole 1/60th of a second, but pulse from one frame to the next, with
some healthy downtime. The obvious solution is to double the frame rate to 120Hz.

One 120Hz method simulates the other TV technologies by introducing that
downtime. Between each bright frame is a frame that's totally black or very
dim (as shown above). The rapid succession of bright and dark frames, 120
times per second, looks smooth to the eye, and keeps some of the LCD's
issues hidden in the darkness. This technique is the best, according to Morrison.
Alas, it is dying out.

The trouble with the method is that it reduces the prized brightness of an LCD.
It is a sad truth that, in the cutthroat world of Best Buy TV selling, the brightest
TV often wins.

the second method (shown below) is coming into vogue. Rather than splice in
black frames, LCD makers introduce a Photoshop-style interpolated frame,
basically a morphed midpoint between Frame 1 and Frame 3."

In other words, the current 120Hz processing is an artificial workaround and not a holy grail.As I said, the main purpose of 120Hz for LCDs is to reduce display time (as they put it "frozen on the screen") to 8.3 ms from 16.7 ms.

Plasma displays are also sample and hold but to a much smaller degree. Typical plasmas emit light for 4-6ms of a frame but may be longer as the ADS system spreads it over the frame time. Moving to 120Hz would reduce the display time for plasma to 2-3ms making motion perception even better. I have read research papers describing high refresh rate plasma. I will post it once I find it again smile.gif

So it's just the current crop which aren't doing it the proper way?

In time can I presume they will have direct 5:5 pulldown especially when 24fps HD movies start appearing in numbers?

L@g@nd, SS2 is a well established name in electronics...in SS2, Jln Klang Lama and Seri Petaling...
(RM2.5K is zero interest credit card deal....if cash is even cheaper!, free delivery and free gifts!)

More likely to get myself a Sony Bravia. But the affordable 32" may not be much difference from my old 29" flat-screen TV. 37" and 40" are so much more expensive. Sigh!

Am looking around for a LCD TV.

Sony Bravia S series 310 (model number I think) is selling at RM2730 at Legend SS2, the shop just beside it is selling RM2699 (but have to wait - need to order).

Not sure if that model is good or not, any others to recommend??


Added on January 1, 2008, 6:48 pmAlso what's the difference between the S and V series? I'm just using the TV to watch DVDs and watch Astro...nothing else!

Well, the V series has a wide colour gamut so the colours appear more vivid than the S series but if you're not a fussy person, the S series is good enough to be honest.

All LCD can mount on wall. But you have to buy the wall mount. Fixed wall mount is quite cheap..RM200 to RM300 i think, but moveable wall mount is expensive.

I tried a VGA cable first. From PC, used a DVI-VGA adapter for the VGA cable to the LCD's PC input. But bad news, is bcoz of analogue signal, the highest resolution attainable is 1024 x 768, whereas the LCD is capable of 1366 x 768.

So...then bought a DVI-HDMI cable, tadaaaa.... bcoz of digital signal, can get 1360 x 768 and enjoy full resolution. Playing Doom3 and HalfLife at full res, summore 32" wow!

The fact is not whether it's analog VGA or digital DVI/HDMI. It's whether the manufacturer provides VGA with 1360x768 support or not.

In this case Toshiba doesn't provide 1360x768 support via VGA (reasons only known to them) while most other manufacturers does.

Do you know that LG LCD TV even provides support up to 1366x768 (including 1360x768) for VGA. If you have a video card which can enable 1368x768 resolution, then you can display that resolution on a 1366x768 setting on the LG using VGA. Only one line on each side of the panel is cut off.

Thanks for the info. I never knew that not all manufacturers provide the same VGA support for their LCD TVs.

Actually I was seriously considering Toshiba 32a3500 or 37a3500 if I had not known about this fact. Now I have changed my mind. No Toshiba for me because I want the LCD TV to replace my existing 15 in LG LCD monitor. Then I can use the LCD TV as monitor, TV and watch DVD.

Before I start looking for another brand, any idea what other manufacturers that do not provide full 1360 x 768 VGA support?

My next choice is Panasonic.

Would have considered LG since they provide value for money. But had a bad experience with their service centre last time with my LCD monitor.

Haven't see any discussion threads here on Haier. Seems like they don't have many supporters in Malaysia.

hmmmm saw those sony ones 1360x768 but can support 1080p...what does that mean....

It means it can input a video signal up to 1080P. But since it is not really a 1080P panel , the image will downscaled back to it's native resolution.

Thanks for the info. I never knew that not all manufacturers provide the same VGA support for their LCD TVs.

Actually I was seriously considering Toshiba 32a3500 or 37a3500 if I had not known about this fact. Now I have changed my mind. No Toshiba for me because I want the LCD TV to replace my existing 15 in LG LCD monitor. Then I can use the LCD TV as monitor, TV and watch DVD.

Before I start looking for another brand, any idea what other manufacturers that do not provide full 1360 x 768 VGA support?

My next choice is Panasonic.

Would have considered LG since they provide value for money. But had a bad experience with their service centre last time with my LCD monitor.

Haven't see any discussion threads here on Haier. Seems like they don't have many supporters in Malaysia.

Previously I had wanted to buy the older Toshiba model too (before the new model came out) , but when I discovered the VGA port did not support 1360x768 I changed my mind.

But now since the newer 3500 model has 2 HDMI, maybe you can consider using one of the HDMI for video and the other through HDMI-DVI converter use it for PC 1360x768. Can leave the VGA unused.

From my experience most salesman are not well versed on the PC connections of LCD TVs. They will tell you everything also can, when you ask them. The best is to look at the user manual and check out the PC VGA connections specs to make sure, or directly test with your notebook computer.

Tip for setting 1360x768 resolution on TV

1) Select the proper aspect ratio on your TV (16:9)
2) Set your TV to 1360x768 resolution for PC mode (unless it is auto detection) and also the correct frequency 60hz, 75hz etc. (if it support multiple frequency).
3) Set your PC graphic card to match the resolution and frequency of your TV above.
4) If the screen picture is out of position and size, words fuzzy etc., make use of the "Auto Adjustment" feature of your LCD TV to automatically sychronize and optimise the signal to your Graphic Card. (This will involve some automatic changes to the Phase, position etc.).

I think Panasonic should be able to support 1360x768 60hz through VGA. But do make a confirmation yourself.

I didn't buy any Haier LCD TV. Saw some of the models on display last time at the shops when they were first introduced to the local market but nowadays don't see them so much anymore. Guess they can't compete with the regular big brands.

Went to Best Denki at KLCC yesterday and saw the Toshiba 32A3500E selling for RM2,799 with 5 years all risk insurance. 37A3500E is RM3,999 also with 5 years all risk insurance. Can pay interest free payment for certain credit cards too. I'm sure I should be able to get cheaper if I look around especially from the L shop in SS2 but not sure if they provide 5 years all risk insurance.

The all risk insurance is very important to me since my area is very prone to lightning strike. Old 29" CRT TV was fried, LCD monitor also struck dead barely 1 month old and a couple of modems last time. Now using Belkin surge Protector. They provide connected equipment warranty.
