To those owners of Sony W series 40W400A. Please I need to verify something. There is this hype about 100Hz Panel. I read up of the post in this thread about Philips not having 100Hz and it's jerking when there is a fast action scene. Does this happen to 40W400A? Has anyone tested it yet, especially with fast moving anime. Please tell me your opinion, as I'm leaning towards Sony as well.

I can see that Sony W series is better than Sharp A63M in PQ wise. I got quote of Rm7000, and they are giving me 1 HDMI cable and 1 BRAVIA bag.

I dunno about 100Hz panels but I thought what's important is the panel's ability to support 24p and the W400 does support it.

U might wanna read the review on a 100Hz display (a kick a$$ one too)

Here's a quote from the review

W series doesn't have 100Hz, the D and X series have and Sony 100Hz is not a hype...I own the D series and I can see the difference...D series also have 1080/24p true cinema...

Here's a review on Sony 32" D series http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/Sony-KDL32D3000/

Does this mean that the 100Hz make the movie worse for 24p?

nope for Sony 100Hz...

is Sony W series 40W400A availabe in penang????plan to get it soon to replace my Dell LCD 3007WFP....

thanks

Bro,
It's not typo error. I couldn't find the info on web as well.
But it's in PC fair. It was stated as an upcoming model.
Specs wise, it's pretty decent.

I really don't know enough to answer that.. Sorry, u'll have to do a bit of googling for that.

It;s there in Sony Malaysia's website. There aren;t any review for this model yet on the internet from CNET Asia or review sites, so that is why you got a hard time looking for it in the website.

Added on April 19, 2008, 3:05 amBut your answer does not apply to Sony 40W400A, right? SInce the panel is not 100Hz....

And it seems that Sony is introducing new models for LCD TV, and for W series, the W4100, there is 4 HDMI and MotionPlus feature with 100Hz. I saw it in AVSForums.

If anyone wants the link I'll attach it

W4100 is a US model and US models always have better features than Asia models. W400A for Asia W4000 for UK/Europe. W400A doesn't have 100Hz. I've gave you the link to Sony 32D3000 review which is the same with 32D300A where the D series has 100Hz feature. Sony has implemented very well the 100Hz technology compared to other manufacturers.

I would choose LC42A63M over 40W400A.
Spec wise LC42A63M is better and more value for $$$.
LC42A63M is RM6,499.

^ The contrast ratio (dynamic) is not as high as the Sony.. so saying it has better spec is not true.

I would agree that sharp have "value for money" element than Sony. But then i think for most people, PQ are more important. And i do notice that Sharp 42A63M is rather hot, compare to 42W400A

^ Hot as in "heat" ? or hot as in more "popular" ?

Edit : oh wait, or do u mean hot as in "reddish"

sharp A 63 PQ sucks bigtime

Hot as in heat. Actually I hoped that it would mean "hot chick"

Here is my honest answer..I own a 32D series from sony.

Personall I liked the 100hz feature very much...

Movie wise...It makes the motions in the movie you play on the screen 'extra smooth.'....it basically doubles the frames per second...you will somehow look at it a bit smoother hence it'll look somewhat 'artificial'..Whether artificial is bad or not depends entirely on one's 'taste' or prefernce...I liked watching Pirates BD with Motion plus turned on (normal setting).

But there's certain movie I prefer watching it with the option off...

When it come to games....

Again Some games I prefer it to be switched on and some off. Example of a game that I liked it to be switched on is Motorstorm...The game is running at 30fps...add Motion Plus...it becomes 60fps...hence smoother...

Some games is not suited to be 'motion plus'ed...because motion plus will sometimes introduces 'noise' in the video...hence I'll switch it off...

Most of the time I'll leave it on at Normal setting.

Ypu have to see it your selves to decide....It's totally falls back to one's preference....
