clngu, fL level of LG PG60 is equals 0.0084fL. which is very impressive and is basically equal(lost abit) to the 11G Panasonics(0.009fL) but nether can beat the 8G Kuros with their 0.004fL rating....and dont even think about comparing these to the upcoming 9G Kros with 0.001fL and better minimum luminance levels."

Note : fL = foot-lamberts, measurement related to the brightness of a particular image and is equal to 1 lumen per sq. foot of screen surface.

my goodness ... 0.001fL ... definitely superb picture quality in the dark room ... no need going to Cinema anymore

Bro Cingu, when did you came to my house and took pics of my setup?

AWESOME but Screen looks abit small from the picture...with that kinda setup, better go projector

Between toshiba and sharp, me choose the toshiba. Did comparison between this 2 and notice that the sharp is abit darker, and on astro the toshiba is more clear. However till now still havent buy so my findings could be wrong

No offense.. but that's a silly question.

There will ALWAYS be something better coming up.

That's technology.... if not how to sell?

For me, only look at waiting if next model is imminent.... within a month or at most two.

If you can really afford to wait longer, that means that you're not ready to buy (again not an insult - as no problems about not buying).

After all, many of us do have good TVs already.

Personally, I would have still kept my clunky CRT in my TV room if not for the fact that I was shifting house.

Fact is that many of us primarily use our TVs for Astro.... and unfortunately that's still in 4:3 and limited quality.

If getting lcd/plasma primarily for home cinema, I agree that projector is the way to go for those who can afford it.

I suppose to get Pioneer 508 (Kuro 8th Generation) this week ... but when I look at 509 (Kuro 9th Generation) specification ... I prefer to wait for few months

509, 1920X1080p Full HD at 100Hz, release in June 2008 ... 508, 1365x768 HD

509 featuring black levels 5 times deeper than 508

509, 9.4cm (3.7") thinness, reduced by nearly 20 percent over 508

509, 14-bit panel driving (508, 12bit panel driving) ... Panasonic latest PZ8xx series, 12bit panel driving

509, native contrast ratio around 40,000 or above, ansi around 8,000

Conclusion, this is the best ever Plasma being made so far

ya wor

i support u buy the 9th GEN KURO at 50"/60"

skip the 8th GEN one since not FULLHD

can 9th GEN does 1080p24 as well?

i agrre with u, thech keep on changeing so buy whatever u thing best at the point of time. anyway been holding my purchase for a long time as i dont really need a new tv. new tv is not my main family unit and its only connect to a dvd and ps3(no tv boardcast/astro) in my family hall.

yes my tv arrive yersterday. whats box come with
- 2 operation instruction
- remote control n batt
- clening cloth
- power cable

but its dont come with any connection cable. and the warrenty card is 5yrs from panny.

as for now, it only connect to the dvd player and still not yet connect to the ps3. willl test the bd and game mode tonight. so far im happy with the pq but i think neeed to twike a bit.

dont forget to turn down the contrast n brightness... so let the gasses cook evenly...are u gonna cook ur display for 100hrs or so..?? like what the suggest in the avsforums..??

good suggestion, never think of that hehehe.

i think my max usage per day 3 hours.... will need abt 1 month to 'masak' in hahahah.

anyway the defult contrast n brightness is set at 50.

if Kuro gets any blacker, ma cannot see liao?

haha ... not to that "black" I think ... the moment it landed here ... I will grab one for my living room ... take photo and poison everyone kau kau

cingu buy the pioneer kuro projector la. much cheaper than the plasma. you want how big also can. 50in where got shiok?

the projector can get 'alone in the dark' effect??? heheheh

pray kuro come faster so we can get poison

Kuro projector ... dunno when it landed here ... I spoke to Pioneer ... the price is higher than JVC DLA-HD100 ... estimated US12,000

seriously cingu, with bank account like yours, you must look into getting a projector.
after that what 19th Gen Kuro also pui hau sui i tell you!
