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.
personally,igo for sony if i only have those 2 to chose from wihtout seeing it myself, biased i must say
Hehe, biased. Who;s not? If there is only two machines to choose from, I'll go for Philips for sure. Reason? Simple. Better PQ and it;s NOT OVERPRICE
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.The truth is, you need to make the decision after you see both of them.
